I think Hillary knew she could make herself 'look good' by demanding that the e-mails be released, all the time knowing that the State Dept would not release them. It was a safe request to make and she reminds us periodically that she has been asking for that.
They knew damn well it was classified. They also know they wont get in any trouble.
I used to think what you said is true. I'm not so certain now. Let us not forget, the stuff coming out now is from the DOS ... not the stuff billary deleted. The FBI still has that ... and what has come out here has all the potential of being just dust in the wind compared to the looming mega-sandstorm.
Too bad they didn't have precognition and know that it would be reclassified 5 years later.
If you can't recognize information that should be classified then you have not business handling any information. How would you like Hillary or Kerry working for YOUR company and trading away all your secrets that they see to enrich themselves??

Um..., no. Informaton is classified at the time it is created or when it comes into the possession of the government. It is then scheduled for declassification after a period that could be thirty days or thirty years.
You almost never, ever retroactively classify information because (a) of the above rule; (b) you cannot retrieve it from all the unclassified storage places it is on; and (c) because it attracts attention to the information. The only time I have ever seen information classified retroactively is when it was incorrectly underclassified when the information was created/collected - and it was caught right away by a higher headquarters. Maybe once or twice in my lifetime - and I spent eleven years in that world.
Here's another red herring I urge you not fall for: 'It wasn't marked classified at the time.'
That's actually what we call a 'confession.' By accepting the security clearance, you accept the responsibility to see that the classified information you handle is properly marked. Hillary Clinton herself actually said this on March 10, 2015, at an early press conference about this debacle.
