The State Department has released thousands of these e-mails, however this can be the very first time her messages are tagged classified at any amount.

He also asked Linick for information about the State Department’s officials’ interviews with IG investigators. They are also considered the emails to be most sensitive for release.
Clinton has said that none of her emails were marked classified when they were sent.
The announcement came three days before the Iowa caucuses, when the first votes are cast for the presidential nominations. Marco Rubio told more than 300 people Saturday morning in Sioux City, Iowa.
“We need a President who can be trusted to keep our secrets secret”, Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor, wrote Friday on Twitter. Bernie Sanders, didn’t bite.
State Department officials have said that using a private email account was not prohibited and that Clinton never shared classified information over the account.
Kirby would not say when the review began or how long it would go, and acknowledged that it’s possible there could be classified emails that were not marked as such.
Clinton continues to plea that no classified information was sent or received on her private email and voters are starting to question her honesty.
Emailing classified information using a non-government email and server was never allowed… but why start caring about the truth now?
“We firmly oppose the complete blocking of the release of these emails”, said Hillary Clinton’s campaign spokesman, Biran Fallon. “We feel no differently today”.

But this is the first time her messages have been labelled classified at any level. Doing so wasnt expressly forbidden. “In the State Department, to put it on to an unclassified system, no matter what that system is”.
“She has said she has done nothing wrong”.
On Friday, the State Department asserted it would not release 22 email messages to the public due to their high sensitivity. They’ve backtracked from the archiving claim, while the AP discovered several phishing attempts on her server connected to Russian Federation. The revelation comes after more emails from Hilary Clinton’s personal email have come to light.
Kirby confirmed that the “denied-in-full emails” are among those McCullough cited. Some may have been written by other State Department officials, and then forwarded by Clinton aides.
Clinton blamed her Republican detractors for politicizing the issue.
The FBI is conducting an investigation into Clinton’s arrangement to determine whether she knowingly transmitted classified information.

Messages were marked “top secret” because they would cause “exceptionally grave” damage to national security if disclosed, the State Department said. “It’s not enough to prove she was negligent”, Levin said.
