"I have said I made a mistake using my personal email, I regret that ... it's time to move on," Clinton told Pelley.
....................
"I am certainly relieved and glad that the investigation has concluded," she told CNN's Wolf Blitzer, "but I also know how important it is to make sure everybody understands that I would certainly not do that again."

Asked about the fact that Comey had said that she and the people she emailed with were "extremely careless" with classified information, Clinton seized on the fact that only three documents of the tens of thousands she turned over were actually marked classified. She also noted to CBS News that at least two of them were marked inaccurately, the result of human error.

.....................

On this point, the former secretary of state disagrees. "They, I believe, did not believe they were sending any material that was classified," she told CNN. And, in opposition to Comey's findings, she told Pelley, "I do not think they were careless. I have a very high regard for the professionals in the State Department, so I believe that they knew what they were doing, and I had no reason to question or second guess their expert opinions."

Other than the 25%ish of this country who are insane right wing zealots, those same people who thought W Bush was doing just fine at his lowest points, nobody cares about this.

Certainly not in the transcript at the link. Her assistants sent & forwarded emails to her—is that what you consider "using" her server?

"For example, seven e-mail chains concern matters that were classified at the Top Secret/Special Access Program level when they were sent and received. These chains involved Secretary Clinton both sending e-mails about those matters and receiving e-mails from others about the same matters. There is evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton’s position, or in the position of those government employees with whom she was corresponding about these matters, should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation." (Comey)

and I doubt "they" (her assissants) had the necessary security clearance to handle these emails.

We still don't know if she, Hillary Clinton herself, believed that these top secret emails were not classified.

Honestly, can anyone point to one specific victim that was harmed by Hillary's use of a private E-mail server?

Just one?

Yet Valerie Plame is exposed as an under cover CIA operative by Karl Rove, who contacted at least seven media reporters to leak this info, and all is forgiven .

Or Darrel Issa, who handed out unredacted classified documents to reporters with the names of our informants in Libya as part of his Benghazi witch hunt? What criminal charges did he face?

Or David Petraeus? He knowingly and intentionally handed over Top Secret Classified military documents to a woman he was having an affair with. How many years did he spend in prison?
