Well, I'm convinced that what she did was stupid and that she put the nation's security at risk. However, I am not an expert regarding criminal statutes in the area of government communications and the only time that I tried to read one of the statutes that someone mentioned, it all looked a bit iffy to me. It had something to do with removing materials from their proper place. In her case, I think the problem is more like she failed to put the materials in the proper place to begin with - government servers. I'm not sure that she actually removed anything from its proper place. Anyway, that's as far as I got and what she did might in fact be more dangerous than what the statute makes illegal.
I always had doubts that there would be an indictment of a major candidate for president during an election year in any event. So, I can't say that I am surprised, but we'll just have to wait and see what the FBI says and does.
“I’m not sure that she actually removed anything from its proper place.”
You are overthinking it. The statutes are in fact VERY clear.
How can Comey justify so massive an investigation for no crime having been committed? One would think that identifying the crime/malfeasance would be the first thing the FBI would do. Who do these clowns have to apologize to now?
If top secret emails from a closed and secured Defense Dept system were found on her home server, than those had to have been somehow manually removed from their authorized location, no ? Although I doubt they were preserved word for word to the original like Petraeus having copies of confidential material in his desk drawer which could be a potential sticking point.
