Information is not classified because it is marked. It is marked because it is classified.

Obama had roughly a dozen or so people sign an executive order back in 2009 that, in effect, named them as being able to identify classified material based on the content. HRC was one of the dozen.

That is one of the fundamental statements of the Comey announcement back in early July - that HRC should have identified classified content. This is also part of the content in the FBI summary 302 - that HRC (by her own admission during the FBI interview with her) did not understand classified markings.

So either she was completely lying, or she did not understand the context. Either scenario conflicts with the assertion that she has the "skills and temperament" to be President.

So candidly - the "she said she hadn't sent emails classified at the time" is not an affirmative defense.
