13. I think that excuse has worn thin. The information was classified, even if it wasn't

officially marked or an intact document from the classified system. It had ZERO business being on a private home server FOR YEARS until the State Dept. and judges demanded it and the intel community could evaluate it. If I rip off the price tag and walk out of a store with a shirt I didn't pay for, it's still stolen, even without the tag. Classified information that's being discussed on private email systems is still classified, even if it takes years to discover and classify it. Ridiculous argument, that somehow this is all OK.

So if I send you a classified document, you are guilty because your email system accepted it? randome Jan 2016 #14
