"SNIP................
Dozens of emails on the private email account that Hillary Clinton used when secretary of state were recently classified by the government, the State Department said on Friday, giving Republican critics more ammunition against the Democratic presidential hopeful.
The emails, released by the State Department under a judge's order, date from the early period of Clinton's 2009-2013 tenure as America's top diplomat.
Many of them were heavily redacted and marked as "confidential" only this week before they were made public, meaning that Clinton was not aware when she sent or received them that their content might later be regarded as classified.
The front-runner for the Democratic nomination in the November, 2016 election, Clinton is under scrutiny for using a private email account for her work as secretary of state.

story must have known.

Classified after the fact. There is also a turf battle between State and the Inspector General over what should and should not be classified.

isn't this par for the course, reclassifying items and thus the rule about not using private servers?
Or is this a special case of reclassification that has never, ever been done before? I am sure there is a H supporter who knows the ins and outs on this one.
Not that the repubs have any real love for security classification, if we all remember Valery Plume.
But this is still kinda stupid on her part.
But it may not be criminal.
