A weather report can be classified. Something that’s been published in the NY Times might be classified.
Something the Secretary of State writes themselves might be classified. Even saying “I was talking to Prime Minster whoever last week” could be classified even when there’s a photo of the Sec State standing next that Prime Minister on the front page of that country’s biggest newspaper.
There is no risk if someone stamps something innocuous as classified, but there’s hell to pay if something that’s sensitive doesn’t get stamped classified. So a lot of shit is labelled classified when it doesn’t need to be.
Not all classified information is about a military operation that’s set to kick off in a few hours.
Hillary Clinton was very thoroughly investigated and the classified information was a big nothing-burger. Or do you honestly believe the Trump administration gave her a pass because they’re benevolent?
running her own shady-ass server away from the prying eyes of FOIA
It’s illegal to use government property for campaign purposes. Obviously Clinton was working towards a presidential campaign (she was working towards it her entire life) so the laws necessitated her to have emails related to that not be on a government server (government property).
Sorry, Hilary’s emails wasn’t anything. You were just told that over and over again until it started to sound like there might be something to it. But it was nothing.
A weather report can be classified. Something that’s been published in the NY Times might be classified … could … could … could … could … could …

…and? Not all classified info is benign shit either. I didn’t personally assess the contents of Hillary’s server, or Bush’s server, or all the idiots using private email, but I’m not going to give any of them the benefit of the doubt and assume their specific infractions are harmless. Fuck that. They know the rules, they need to follow them.

Nothing ever happens to any of these dipshits. Every fucking administration gives the one before it a pass for this shit, and that’s what makes me so mad about it this. It needs to stop.

It’s also illegal to store classified info on the non-government machine you’re using to run a campaign. Classification aside, is it really too much to expect her to know the difference between work related vs private communication? Most people have a pretty solid hold on that about 5 minutes after accepting their first job that requires them to use a company/agency email…

No, I was active duty when the situation was first breaking, and joined the DoD in a collective facepalm and angry “this shit again?!” cuz if any of us did it, we’d be court martialed.
You may not want it to be anything, and you might try to rationalize that by assuming a best case scenario or contrasting it against fuckers like Trump who are orders of magnitude worse, but that doesn’t give Hillary or anyone before or after her a pass.

There can be information that’s classified, then a reporter finds out about it and it gets printed in the NY Times. But that information is still classified. So you can simultaneously be discussing something that’s public knowledge and also classified.
But you’re upset about things like that happening because you were on active duty and probably getting Fox News blasted at you 24/7 in the mess hall and you got suckered by it. You don’t want to admit you’re a sucker (as your President says you are), so you’re going to go on pretending that you have some special knowledge that no one else has.
Hilary Clinton is a smart woman and Trump and his gang are a bunch of morons. Your country is fucked and it’s not going to get any better until y’all can start admitting that you got scammed.
