It's critical to start by separating foolish and even potentially shady behavior from criminal. It should be clear to any objective observer that it was an enormous error for Clinton to use a homemade server for all of her emails while she was in a position that regularly handles and assesses the most sensitive of government secrets. She had admitted as much (although now she appears to be backtracking from that initial mea culpa).
It is also indisputable that it was neither a crime nor even a violation of State Department procedure for Clinton to have used personal email for government business at that time. Secretary of State Colin Powell, for example, used a personal email account from 2001 to 2005 in addition to his government account.
What makes this different, however, is that she created and maintained her own server in her home, and therefore controlled, all her emails, personal and professional.

... best media mouthpiece since Geraldo Riveria!
An uninformed reporter who reads only handouts from the Hillary campaign.
Cherry-picked obfuscational mumbo jumbo around why her server, her gross neglect and ordering subordinates to improperly and illegally remove classified marking headings and transmit unclassified is not ‘criminal’.
Any other citizen would already be serving out a sentence.
150 FBI agents may think differently.
He should no better, considering he has a law degree and given his work history covering all things legal and governmental affairs etc. He is just being a “good” lib.
She’s committee high treason pure and simple. We’re not talking only criminal acts here, but some along the scale of the Rosenberg treason.
no = know
For good old Dan and the “ends justifies the means” party foolish and shady behavior is just okie dokie for a President.
Dan Abrams! LOL! Media Doofus!
It's indisputable, I tell ya. It's settled law and there's a consensus.
This “is also indisputable” BS from Dan Abrams.
Lots of traitors in the FBI too. I wouldn’t pin my hopes on them either.
What he says amounts to: She has not been convicted in a court of law, so she has not committed a crime, yet, that we know of.
He does not once mention that the leaks point toward numerous crimes, and his claim that we have not seen many prosecutions for this sort of behavior is whistling past the graveyard.
The main point that he seems to be making is that Hillary made a mistake because she got caught.
ABC = Always Backing Clinton
Dear Dan: if she’s innocent why is her alibi constantly changing?
So chugging all that vodka and running naked through Walmart was foolish and therefore not criminal? Really Dan? We can separate “Foolish” from “Criminal”? Now people can choose between “Guilty” “Not Guilty” and “Foolish” That should decrease the prison population.
Dear Dan: if she’s innocent why has her team systematically destroyed multiple pieces of evidence: servers, phones, documents?
Why is her IT provider pleading the 5th?
She’s actually trying to say that, as Secretary of State, she never once received classified information on her unsecured, illegal server. Asking her questions about this position is somehow unserious and abusive.
I always thought she was a communist. Now I think another “C” word applies.
Actually kneepad boy is correct. She did not commit a crime. He is 100% correct. What he failed to point out is she has committed over 1000 felonies as of last count. Each email that was classified is a separate crime.
