You are mistaken.  Original classifying authority means that she can classify things herself up to Top Secret.  That is how the term is defined.<p>She can&#x27;t unilaterally declassify anything so if another agency sent something classified to her, she could not lower the classification.<p>If something came from one of the intelligence agencies that was Secret or Top Secret, it would not be sent over the open internet to her public email.  That would be a security violation on the part of the sender.
