4 out of 40 emails from Clinton's private server examined by IG contained classified intelligence information. Such transgressions would likely get a GS or government contractor fired and their clearance revoked. For example, my colleague at last job was a government contractor from SAIC and could have one security "transgression" warning. A second was grounds for termination. That was anything from leaving a safe unlocked, to failing to lock up his Secret hard drive to someone else in our office leaving classified documents on a desk overnight (even though the office is a locked space) and him failing to correct it.
Now, I seriously doubt that 3000 of the 30000 (10% total) emails on her servers were classified, but this is fairly serious, IMO. Even 1% of all those emails is some serious spillage. But as I listen to Hillary's comments she doesn't seem to think it's a big deal and would obviously rather talk about something else.
I'm going to guess most of the classified information isn't "super secret squirrel" stuff, but even Confidential or Secret on an unclassified server these days is usually handled by non-judicial punishment (taking money), often a suspension or outright loss of security clearance, and as mentioned, firing in the civilian community especially if it's a repeat offense and depending on severity.
This is precisely why private email servers are not kosher for high level government officials to use for official business.
I'm not sure how anyone can place their continued trust in the Clintons, not that any politician probably deserves our trust.
