Hillary Clinton made $2.9 million in speaking fees from large financial institutions between 2013 and 2015. That total includes $675,000 from the much reviled Goldman Sachs.

I love the smell of big bad success in the morning. Smells like (pause) victory.

At a CNN town hall in Derry, N.H., moderator Anderson Cooper asked the former secretary of state, "Did you have to be paid $675,000?", a reference to her fees for three speeches to Goldman Sachs. Clinton responded, "I don't know. That's what they offered."

Clinton went on to say that she accepted the Goldman money after she left the State Department in 2013, when, as she put it, "I wasn't committed to running" for president. An Associated Press analysis of public disclosure forms and records released by her campaign found that Clinton made $9 million from appearances sponsored by banks, insurance companies, hedge funds, private equity firms and real estate businesses.

She never sent material that was marked classified. If someone sent her unmarked classified material and she forwarded it, then it's highly unlikely that she would be considered culpable, and criminally negligent, not a effin' chance. Sorry, you need to find a new wet dream.

Retired special agent here. I had a Top Secret clearance and conducted criminal investigations involving Top Secret information and investigated many criminal allegations where less important Confidential Information was unlawfully disclosed.

Contrary to popular belief (movies and tv), intelligence/information is not marked "Classified". Instead if it was indeed classified (an action), it would be identified by it's proper classification, i.e. Confidential, Secret, Top Secret, etc. You would typically not see any working documents marked with a classification unless that information were to leave the agency and go somewhere, i.e. congress, another federal agency, where they may be unaware of how to treat the information.

If the state department worked like the agency that I worked for, intelligence information is not marked or classified in any way, but everyone, I mean everyone, knows what it is and how important it is to protect and safeguard that information.

Working papers absolutely have to be marked by whomever created them.
