"There was never any material marked classified that was sent or received by me."

- Hillary Clinton, interview on CBS's "Face the Nation," May 8

One of Clinton's standard lines about her email system popped up again over the weekend. We had examined this claim in detail<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2015/08/27/clintons-claims-about-receiving-or-sending-classified-material-on-her-private-email-system/> back in August, noting that Clinton's very careful and legalistic phrasing raises suspicions.

She refers to "material," which could be code for documents, leaving open the possibility of "classified information" having been received. She also says she did not receive "any material marked classified," which of course leaves open the possibility of receiving classified information that was not correctly marked. We gave her Two Pinocchios for excessively technical wordsmithing.

Separately, in February, we explored how "top secret" information ended up on her server<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/02/04/how-did-top-secret-emails-end-up-on-hillary-clintons-server/>. We said that the question of "markings" was a red herring.  Anything marked classified could not be sent through an unclassified system - and officials are supposed to know enough about the sensitivity of communications to recognize material that could be considered classified under a presidential executive order.
