Watching the video I only see 1 count that could possibly stick. the other 3 she has ways around (and 1 of them is straight up a bogus charge).
take a look at her actual testimony (emphasis added to her weasel words...)
when questioned about sending/receiving classified information:
the question to Comey was whether she sent or received classified information. not whether she sent or received information MARKED classified. she's going to use her husband's "that depend on what the definition of the word 'is' is" defense for this one.
when questioned about sorting her personal emails from business emails:
she didn't say "lawyers" and the answer was in response to being asked if "someone" went through the emails. So once again, this is a technicality that can get her off. "they" (not lawyers) probably did go through every email...by looking at the email subject or something minimal like that. the questioner should have followed up by making her explain who "they" is, but I don't think he did.
when questioned about the number and location of her server(s):
the question to Comey was about devices, not servers. so if she upgraded her iPhone during her time as SOS, but only used the one server that Slick Willy was already using, then both of those statements are correct.
When questioned whether she turned over all of the emails to the investigators:
This is the one that can get her. the other 3 I believe she can weasel her way out of, but that last one seems to be on pretty solid ground of being actual perjury.
