(It took the FBI hundreds of agents and an entire year go over everything.) In her mind, at the time, she most likely did not believe she sent any emails. That surely doesn't make her a liar.
This is nothing more than a political witch hunt. If this is so important to national security, why haven't we investigated former Secretaries of State?

Wallace, July 31: I want to ask about one aspect, what you told the American people.
Video clip, Clinton: I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email. There is no classified materials.
I am confident that I never sent nor received any information that was classified at the time.
I had not sent classified material nor received anything marked classified.

Wallace: After a long investigation, FBI Director James Comey said none of those things that you told the American public were true.
Clinton: Chris, that?s not what I heard Director Comey say, and I thank you for giving me the opportunity, in my view, clarify. Director Comey said my answers were truthful, and what I?ve said is consistent with what I have told the American people, that there were decisions discussed and made to classify retroactively certain of the emails. I was communicating with over 300 people in my emailing. They certainly did not believe and had no reason to believe that what they were sending was classified. Now, in retrospect, different agencies come in and say, well, it should have been, but that?s not what was happening in real time.
Wallace: But in a congressional hearing on July 7th, Director Comey directly contradicted what you had told the public.
Video clip, Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C.: Secretary Clinton said there was nothing marked classified on her emails either sent or received. Was that true?
James Comey, FBI director: That?s not true. ?
Gowdy: Secretary Clinton said, ?I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email. There is no classified material.? Was that true?
Comey: There was classified material emailed.
