That's also not entirely true.
This is based on off the record information...but what appears to have happened is an aid forwarded Clinton a few emails citing public news reporting about the political fallout from drone strikes. Because the drone strikes weren't supposed to be happening (ssssshhhhhhhhhh) the program was considered top secret/SAP and so any government correspondence on the topic "should" be handled with that designation.
I'm sure some will clamor that Clinton would have known this and should have rang the alarm bell on mishandling information, but that's pretty silly...If the above is true you can toss this right back into the dust bin with all the other accusations.

"The information being discussed wasn't classified when she was at State"
That is what Hilary is saying. That's not what the IG is saying. Read the link I posted...
"As Fox News first reported, those two emails were “top secret” when they hit the server, and it is now considered a settled matter."
At a minimum, Spence...what do you think of her initial claims that her server only had wedding plans, yoga schedules, things like that?
We will see.
Another story...

From this article...
"An intelligence community review has re-affirmed that two classified emails were indeed “top secret” when they hit Hillary Clinton’s unsecured personal server despite a challenge to that designation by the State Department, according to two sources familiar with the review.
The sources described the dispute over whether the two emails were classified at the highest level as a “settled matter.”
