Politico reports:
Hillary Clinton never received training on how to handle classified information. By her own admission, she had little ability to discern whether a document included sensitive information. And when she did handle sensitive materials, she relied on her subordinates to ensure that nothing important was compromised.
Taken together, her responses to questions from FBI [US' Federal Bureau of Investigation] investigators reveal a high-level government executive who apparently had little grasp of the nuances and complexities around the nation's classification system — a blind spot that helped allow classified communications to pass through her private email server.
While Clinton is clear that she never had any intention to mishandle classified documents, a fact that FBI Director James Comey noted as a factor in his decision not to recommend any charges against the former secretary of state, answers she gave to FBI agents during a July 2 interview are likely to reinforce the Republican characterization of her as having been reckless with government secrets.
Bloomberg reports that Clinton Used Eight BlackBerrys, but [the] FBI Couldn't Get Them:
In addition to the eight devices she used as secretary of state, the FBI said there were at least five additional mobile devices they sought as part of their inquiry. Clinton's lawyers said they could not provide any of the mobile devices she used. One person interviewed by the FBI said he recalled two instances in which Clinton's devices were destroyed by "breaking them in half or hitting them with a hammer." The FBI released the summary Friday to provide context on its decision not to recommend prosecution of Clinton or her aides for using the private system. The Democratic presidential nominee was interviewed about her use of private e-mail by FBI agents and federal prosecutors for 3 1/2 hours on July 2. The bureau then recommended that the Justice Department not pursue criminal charges.

Actually I have been paying attention 1000x better than you.
The only marked documents she received were entries from her own phone schedule [politico.com] and they were single line-items marked with a (C) for confidential, the lowest level of classification.
They only reason they were classified is in the event the she decides to cancel a scheduled call it wouldn't be a political loss of face to the other person for being blown off by the US secretary of state. Two of the three phone calls were completed so they were no longer classified.
That is what its come down to for you runaway. Your entire irrational hate-ball rests on the fact that she cancelled a phone call to some diplomat and the fact she had planned to call them was in her email with a (C) next to it.
Travelgate, benghazi, whitewater, filegate the pattern is the same. There is never any fire and the only reason there is smoke is because people like yourself, who desperately want there to be fire, keep madly rubbing their sticks together.
