In a review of the batch of emails from Hillary Clinton's unsecured private server released Monday, Reuters determined that another 57 of them were "classified from the start." That makes at least 87 emails so far that Reuters' sources have concluded were transmitted in violation of federal security laws. 

As TruthRevolt reported, Reuters revealed in August that an initial batch of emails from Clinton's server contained at least 30 email threads—17 originating from Clinton herself—that have been designated by the State Department as containing "information the U.S. government and the department's own regulations automatically deems classified from the get-go — regardless of whether it is already marked that way or not."

Reuters analysis of the newly released Clintons emails found that 57 more emails were likewise marked with classification code 1.4(B), which means they contain information "shared in confidence by foreign government officials," which must be "classified from the start, and handled through secure, government-controlled channels."  

Reuters emphasizes how seriously such intrinsically classified information is considered, highlighting the State Department's own regulations, which describe it as the "most important category of national security information" the department's officials encounter.

"If the State Department's markings are correct," says Reuters, "it appears that Clinton and her senior staff routinely did not follow the regulations in the department's Foreign Affairs Manual, which tells employees they "must" safeguard foreign government information by treating it as classified."
