However, some 200 of them were retroactively classified. Something our security experts here have claimed cannot happen. So far, this is yet another nothingburger that the Right is desperately trying to inflate into an actual scandal. Despite dozens of attempts in the past resulting in nothing, they keep trying. You can almost admire their persistence. Or insanity.

That article is crap and is wrong on multiple points. You cannot tell from any "security log" whether a mail server has been hacked. You can, at best, rule it in, but you cannot from any log file on a Windows server rule it out. And there is even less chance if you don't have the server properly configured to audit logons/logoffs. There is absolutely ZERO doubt that server was hacked by both Russia and China, and likely by many other foreign governments. That is as close to certain as you can get. The Secretary of State cannot put a server in a closet without the protection of the State Department's security and have it NOT be hacked. I'm sorry, but anyone who knows anything about this subject knows that. Secondly, on the subject of classification, documents can and often are classified after the fact but that in no way changes the legal exposure a person has with respect to disclosure. A Secretary of State ought to know what is and what isn't and what may be. There is no excuse for her actions which were incompetent and certainly illegal. In addition, there were documents that are "born classified" which are defined to be classified from the outset. The problem here is that this woman intentionally broke the rules and it led to the exposure of these documents to foreign governments. This warrants prison time. Whoever wrote that article was just trying to make it sound like nothing for political reasons.

A former aide to Hillary Clinton has turned over to the F.B.I. computer security logs from Mrs. Clinton’s private server, records that showed no evidence of foreign hacking, according to people close to a federal investigation into Mrs. Clinton’s emails. LOL!!! All that proves is that it was not hacked by a high school student.....I think the Russian and Chinese may be a bit more crafty.... And PS....proof that it was indeed hacked is not necessary for a conviction under the relevant law.

Al, from the column: I don’t say that to justify Clinton’s original decision to set up the private server. She shouldn’t have done that ... But it wasn’t a crime "But officer, no one got hurt! It shouldn't be a crime to drive on the wrong side of the road!" "Hey boss, I know I uploaded Intel's top secret information onto Dropbox, but it's OK. No one hacked it." "Sir, I know I deserted my post, but no one got hurt and I shouldn't be court-martialed for it!" Tenchusatsu
