There is no evidence that Hillary believed or were aware that there was classified information there... Well, Trump says essentially the same thing.... because he believes he 'declassified' the information that he had.

Except that he doesn't, really. Yeah, he spews it to his moronic cult members on his deadbeat twitter rip-off, but his legal filings tell a different story. In fact his late SM request indicates that any SM would need the highest levels of clearance.

Further, the blinking red and yellow lights on the cover letters on top of the classified information also tell a different story. Even an idiot like trump can't deny what follows after those!

And on HRC's the relevant stuff was not even classified at the time it was sent via e-mail IIRC, but was later determined to be. That's why she can claim she didn't know it was classified, because at the time, it wasn't. Also, she was still the SOS at the time, right? So she was allowed to possess the information...she just should not have had it where she did. Additionally, if I read the reports correctly, they were able to recover all the eventual classified information...it's really the only reason we know it existed.

trump had NO authority to possess this stuff, classified or not. None. There is just no real comparison between the two.
