No shit, and that's the problem. It was HER unprotected server that received the emails. She should have used a government secured server. This explains why your lost in the weeds on this topic. You have a thick skull.

But that has not and continues to not be the question. The question is whether she did anything illegal. A governmental official making a bad decision, and this is certainly one, is something that people should consider when deciding whether or not to vote for them. But the question is whether or not she did anything criminal or, more accurately, whether or not she is the focus of a criminal investigation.
The reality is that if you intentionally send and receive emails with classified information without marking them as such, even if they are on secured government servers, you've still broken the law.
