careless in handling very sensitive1    
highly classified information4  7#c7

reasonable individual in the position of
 ,secretary ,clinton1 or in the position
 of the ,federal employees with whom    
,secretary ,clinton was corresponding   
about these matters1 should have known  
that using an unclassified system was   
inappropriate when conducting classified
 conversations4  7#d7 ,because of the   
conduct of ,secretary ,clinton and her  
colleagues1 the ,,fbi concluded that it

,secretary ,clinton4  7#e7 ,in similar

extreme carelessness in their handling  
of classified information should no     
longer have access to that information4
