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.

Did not Trump predict this all along [breitbart.com]
There were also allegedly several high level FBI agents ready to resign if this outcome occurred.
There you have it folks...
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

I believe Trump also predicted a future terrorist attack a few months ago, and then the Orlando shooting happened. Captain Obvious ≠ Nostradamus.

Writing vague shit that could be interpreted in a million different ways isn't too impressive either.

Well then. Now we'll see how accurate "allegedly" is.

I'm not a Trump fan, but maybe the best thing for the US is if Bernie Sanders re-enters the race as an independent. Then Trump will surely win, and Hillary can go to jail. Maybe all that will send the United States to rock bottom a little faster and they can then get on with rebuilding a country they can be proud of again.

Trump can "go over it" all he wants to, to the extent that the law allows him to do so. HE still cannot bring charges himself against her. Best he could do would be to appoint an AG who as quid-pro-quo of being nominated will go after her.
Oh, and do we really want officials appointed who have quid-pro-quo understandings, or would we rather have an appointment where it is promised that the case will be studied again?
(And, BTW, I'm still in the camp saying this is corruption at its' finest. I just see no need to stack corruption on top of corruption.)
