The difference between Hillary Clinton and others who were charged for retaining classified data is that Hillary Clinton had the authority bestowed to her by Executive Order 12958 and 13526 to classify and declassify information at the "top secret" level that originated from the State Department.<p>Source: <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/02/04/how-did-top-secret-emails-end-up-on-hillary-clintons-server/" rel="nofollow">https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/02/...</a>
