Sidney Blumenthal, the off-book Clinton adviser whose hacked email account became news in 2013, appeared on CNN’s New Day Wednesday. Blumenthal told host Alisyn Camerota he is “very confident” Clinton will not be charged in connection with her private email server.

Camerota suggested the fear among Democrats was that “another show will drop” after Clinton wins the nomination. Blumenthal replied, “I’ve very confident that that will not happen.” Asked how he knew, Blumenthal added, “My understanding is that this is a security review. It’s certainly not a criminal investigation.” Camerota injected, “But it is an investigation.”

“It’s an inquiry into whether or not anyone intentionally put classified information where it shouldn’t be. And my understanding is that they will conclude and the Department of Justice will issue a statement at the end that that was not the case. And then all those who were involved in this kind of political hysteria will have to unravel it,” Blumenthal said. Video of the exchange was uploaded by Chuck Ross of the Daily Caller:

It’s an inquiry into whether or not anyone intentionally put classified information where it shouldn’t be.

Word games.

Anyone who has ever had a security clearance before and undergone the training will know that "intent" does NOT matter legally...if you have classified material on a non-classified system, whether you intended to or not, then you are guilty of a felony.  Period.

And this does not even address the question about Hillary ordering her aides and staffers to remove classified markings from documents and then transmit them to her, either via email or fax, which is another felony.
