Even as a European*, I find this of interest, because of the level of corruption it shows.
Headline: "Clinton Was 'Extremely Careless' With Email But Should Not Be Charged".
In his statement, Comey said that the FBI's investigation had found 110 emails on Clinton's servers that had contained classified information when they were sent or received, of which eight contained material at the highest classification level of "top secret." Noting that this information was being stored on "unclassified personal servers" less secure even than commercial services like Gmail and that Clinton's use of the private account was widely known, Comey said it was "possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton's personal email account." Said Comey: "Any reasonable person should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that kind of information."
So: The FBI knows that she mishandled classified information. When you receive your security clearance, you are informed of the rules and the penalties for breaking them. Storing Secret, much less Top Secret information on a civilian server outside the control of the government violates those rules.
Yet, she will not be prosecuted. She was just "careless", no big deal. Laws are for the little people.
*Full disclosure: I used to be American, but turned in my passport some years ago. Various reasons, not least of which are the US tax policies. But the politics (The Shrub, Obama, and now...possibly Hillary!) - it's like a banana republic, only with nukes.

If it helps you to think I'm a Republican, go ahead. It's not true but that has never stopped a liberal from believing anything before.

Your meter's flawed. It doesn't take a partisan shill to be completely disgusted with either party.

Huh? Where did you get that number from?
At most it is about a hundred cases and
(a) That includes material sent to her by other people
(b) That's out of tens of thousands of emails
(c) None of it was made evident until this investigation

Except to her, who it was instantly and blatantly evident to.

As supporting evidence for Buzzard (not that I expect it will affect his detractor's views one bit), here's Hillary in her own words directing known-classified info to be sent insecurely: https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/12605 [wikileaks.org]
