Jill Stein made the following statement about the FBI decision regarding Hillary Clinton's violations of national security laws as Secretary of State.
Today FBI Director James Comey described Hillary Clinton's email communications as Secretary of State as "extremely careless." His statement undermined the defenses Clinton put forward, stating the FBI found 110 emails on Clinton's server that were classified at the time they were sent or received; eight contained information classified at the highest level, "top secret," at the time they were sent. That stands in direct contradiction to Clinton's repeated insistence she never sent or received any classified emails.
All the elements necessary to prove a felony violation were found by the FBI investigation, specifically of Title 18 Section 793(f) of the federal penal code, a law ensuring proper protection of highly classified information. Director Comey said that Clinton was "extremely careless" in handling such information. Contrary to the implications of the FBI statement, the law does not require showing that Clinton intended to harm the United States, but that she acted with gross negligence.
The recent State Department Inspector General (IG) report was clear that Clinton blithely disregarded safeguards to protect the most highly classified national security information and that she included on her unprotected email server the names of covert CIA officers. The disclosure of such information is a felony under the Intelligence Identities Protection Act.
While the FBI is giving Clinton a pass for not "intending" to betray state secrets, her staff has said Secretary Clinton stated she used her private email system because she did not want her personal emails to become accessible under FOI laws. This is damning on two counts – that she intended to disregard the protection of security information, and that she had personal business to conceal.

Is Gary Johnson lighting up a fat doobie so he isn’t available to comment?
Sorry, Jill, that ship has sailed.
Hillary is protected by the Old Boys’ Network.
“Hillary Clinton deleted 30,000 emails claiming they were ‘personal’. This is equal to the volume of her emails designated as department business. If half of an employee’s email volume is for their personal business, they are not using their time for their job. If Secretary Clinton was conducting personal business for her family Foundation through the Secretary of State’s Office, this is a matter the American public deserves to know about.”
Good point.
I don’t often expect to applaud the Green Party but this is a very good statement.
I hope Jill has all her tax records in order. Because I’m guessing the IRS will be calling her in for a little chat soon.
That’s just how banana republics roll.
It IS a good point.
But Teflon hillary got away, and no one’s gonna catch her.
It’s a new line of attack that Trump can use. Hillary says that she was working hard to help the middle class but that’s another lie. She spent her time in office working for the Clinton foundation to enrich herself.
She is not teflon, she just bribes people.
Jill just can’t stand powerful women.
And the difference would be....?
Prosecute Lynch and Comey too.
Indeed. Haiti is another Clinton Scandal that needs to be opened up.
Yes, they might call her, but I suppose it's better than someone telling her to meet up in Fort Marcy Park.
Remember Filegate?
I dont even know who the @#$ jill stein was. Thought she was conservative at first, i was wrong lol
maybe the greens can take 7 percent.
You kill me sometimes :)
Let the Trump administration prosecute Hillary. This exoneration is a blessing for Trump.
Really? I don't recall hearing about that.
