I'm not convinced by this, especially when I see emails from Sec. Clinton like these: https://sli.mg/gHT80S https://sli.mg/gHT80S Someone had issues sending her a secure fax and she replied that he should send it nonpaper and unsecure and to make it even worse - remove the identifying header (classified, secret, top secret and so on) This is intent in my view. Not to harm the US, but to ignore the law because it's more convenient to her.

That's not clear at all -- there's no evidence that information was classified in the first place, but moreover a request to convert to "nonpaper" refers to sending a written summary or briefing. Jake Sullivan is no fool, he's a law professor at Yale. It is equally reasonable to assume that the request to send nonsecure includes an implicit request to not include confidential materials in the "nonpaper" version. Rational and intelligent actors could be assumed to act in a legal way based on this legal request.
