You're assuming she intended to store classified information which she clearly didn't intend to nor does it appear that she did.

Even if it was legal (it was not) the simple fact of her running the situation the way she did on a home private email server allowed lots of bad guys to read our mail. Maybe Obama would have had great foreign policy of the Russians and Socialist Chinese were not reading our mail.

Well, I believe the Justice Department has already said it wasn't illegal. I've not hear anyone claim it was hacked although it's certainly possible. But if she was using secure systems for classified communications it's not even clear if they could have gained meaningful insights.
Here's the thing that most people are missing. Had she not been using her personal server she would have been using state.gov. All this inter-agency squabbling over classification would have been exactly the same...and they've been having a terrible time keeping the Russians out of that system.
While I agree it would have been proper to use the work system for work, there' doesn't appear have been any legal or otherwise damage done. We'll see what the Feds say...
