I have no idea whether there was extortion going on while she was SecState or not.  The Foundation seems like it was pretty cozy with the UAE.

Is this what you think is illegal? 

As far as classified information, yes, mere mortals would lose their security clearances and likely they job (because you need a security clearance to do the job).  If they didn't lose their job, they would get time off without pay.  And if it was determined that it was deliberate or had a significant impact on the U.S., there would be jail time.  I actually knew someone that knowingly showed classified information to a foreign national who was his friend, and was found guilty and sentenced to jail. 

But I don't think she will ever be prosecuted for it.
