From the article...there were 2 emails on her server, 1 with data from the CIA, 1 with data from the NGA. The article states that officials from both agencies confirmed that each email was top secret when it hit her server. The State Department is challenging that. The 2 agencies consider it a closed matter.
The CIA can gather its own intelligence and decide what classification to give it. What it cannot do (and thi sI know for sure) is modify the classification that another agency gives to its own data. Only the agency that generated th edata, can do that.
Somehow, you have concluded that she did nothing wrong. Let's see what the investogation turns up.
And why did the IG, appointed by Obama, work in secret with the GOP, as you claim? |
Jim, we've discussed this before. The State Department was gathering information in parallel from different sources that didn't require classification.
Sen. Feinstein has also confirmed that no emails were marked top secret.

“As someone who regularly reviews classified material, I can say that those documents are always clearly marked as containing classified information,” she said. “Every official who writes classified material, whether in email or on paper, must mark the information as classified. They would also be required to use a separate classified email system to transmit the information. The emails identified did not contain these markings.”

What will be interesting is that the IG was supposed to be reviewing email practices from the last 5 Secretaries of State.
