My point is, ICBM hyperbole aside, it's going to be very easy for Clinton to claim that she did not know something was classified if indeed it was not officially classified at the time, and only reclassified later. A suspicion that she might be guilty is not going to cut in the courts.

> Some of her email contained information that she got from other government agencies; she knew it was classified and had no authority to declassify it. Some of her email actually was marked classified; we can assume she believed it to be classified. There is even a lovely case where she tells a subordinate to REMOVE THE MARKINGS and then send insecurely.

You'll need citations for these claims. Nothing I've read indicates any of that is true. The last example proves nothing because 1) the subordinate sent the material by secure fax in the end after all, and 2) there is no indication it was classified (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/state-department-releases-more-c...).
