Is Hillary Clinton in trouble Over Email Server?

In a press conference in march Hillary denied that she did not email any classified material to anyone, This denial was a strategic attempt to subdue the confusing questions about the files found on the unsecured email server she used for a State Department business.

Clever, Clinton tactfully dodged the fact that she received classified email on that vulnerable server, conduct also in violation of 18 USC 1924, which makes it a crime to have classified information at an “unauthorized location.”

It was disclosed from unreliable/reliable sources that Clinton’s unsecured emails contained materials which are supposed to be kept away from a third party — one of the top classifications — calls into question just about every phrase the former Secretary of State and her campaign staff have uttered to excuse her conduct. Let’s forget about the unimportant and identify her email transgressions for what they are: gross mismanagement of classified material that happens to violate the law.

One of Clinton's spokesperson proffered that because the material was not specifically pinned (marked), Hillary Clinton could not have been aware that the material was classified. Carelessly in a press conference, Clinton bragged that she was “totally aware of the classified requirements.” Apparently not.

The high secrecy demanded by some documents have required the high ranking government official to always store all their confidential materials on the highly secured government server to avoid any mistake forwardings of these confidential materials to "unathorised recipients or whatsoever”. But reports have it that the reason why the documents were not pinned is because Mrs Hillary didn't submit them for review.

As former intelligence professionals, we are well aware that severe discipline guidelines are required for handling confidential informations. Briefings that include confidential informations are held in Sensitive and well isolated Information Facilities, rooms with elaborate protections to minimize unwelcome ears from hearing the discussion going on

Also telephone conversations of secretive informations are made via secure phones. Emails that might contain confidential informations are sent only through well protected and monitored networks, not through a personal server in a balcony.

Anyways, Hillary is expected to understand the meaning and nature of information termed "classified" These subjects are completely discussed handlessly without pen and paper or recording devices. This situation giving rise to what is called "oral briefing". High ranking government officials are common with these situation of briefing many times this system is adopted in briefing members of the congress on some confidential matters. however, when this means is used to convey a message, the government official is expected to understand the importance of the secrecy of the message and is obliged to protect it effectively.

Turning a blind eye on her responsibility to be aware when she is given classified information, Clinton  recommended that the matter was exaggerated because the documents were not classified/confidential at the time she had custody of them and also then, various parts of the government are disagreeing about whether the material should be classified. or not.

An intelligence community’s Inspector General, whose office conducted a stochastic search of Clinton’s emails and found 10 percent classified (at a level lower than Top Secret), "those emails were classified when they were sent and are still classified now” said the General

On further search into the Sydnian email producers Blumenthals, there were about 15 emails related to Hillary Clinton and Benghazi that were not in the email productions Clinton submitted to the state department. Is this not obstruction to justice?

Hillary have been potentially guilty of violating the 18 USC 1924 code of conduct and ought to be charged for and pernalised as the law demands but the big question is "how does she escape this effect"?
