My point absolutely speaks to how this is not and cannot be a cover-up. The President is a classification authority (OCA). This call and other foreign official call classification most times has nothing to do with "national security sensitivity." If a foreign government or the POTUS deems any part of the conversation walks the line, it can be wrapped up and subjected to SAP. This is not the grandiose scheme you believe it to be.

Someone with a high level authority put it into a higher level of classification while many of the other people in the room felt that this was not necessary.
You are excusing this because the person with high authority had the power to do this. 
But that's begging the question.
The president has many powers.
But he must not abuse them.
The real question is, is he abusing his powers to undermine our ability to check his behavior in the future?

I never defended any of Hillary's evasive and obstructive actions.
I thought some of the other things she's criticized for get blown out of proportion, but keeping a private email server was inexcusable.

You are throwing out an opinion based on hearsay. In any case, no other person besides the Authority needs to approve of the classification. And, it doesn't even have to be a "high" classification. It can simply be marked (U//SBU-NF), meaning sensitive but unclassified not for release. This is the authorities prerogative and recorded as such. You are questioning the proper classification and move to the appropriate system as an argument that doesn't exist. FYI, just because it was secured in a SAP system doesn't mean it isn't viewable by anyone else. It simply means you need a need-to-know (not difficult), have proper clearance, and that you are read-in (briefed on rules of handling that particular documentation), and sign NDA based on NOFORN. This happens hundreds of times a day, every day. FYI, IC has already seen it and cleared it.
