It probably is. I made the point early in the Clinton thing that if D.C. is like every company in the world that has confidential information then if one were to look you will find mishandling of such information by pretty much everyone who handles such information. Forgotten file folders. E-mails. Conversations etc. it's why when this gets prosecuted it is very much based on intent. In the Clinton thing I saw all these comparisons to the navy guy who took pictures and why was he being charged and she wasn't!
Well he knew he wasn't supposed to do it, snuck his phone in, took the pictures, put the pictures on his computer and willingly and knowingly distributed them (only to his family it seems but it doesn't matter). He then destroyed the evidence as well. There was knowing intent to what he did. Clinton if classified went through doesn't seem to have any intent or even knowledge hence no prosecution.
