There is no way of getting around this: According to Director James Comey (disclosure: a former colleague and longtime friend of mine), Hillary Clinton checked every box required for a felony violation of Section 793(f) of the federal penal code (Title 18): With lawful access to highly classified information she acted with gross negligence in removing and causing it to be removed it from its proper place of custody, and she transmitted it and caused it to be transmitted to others not authorized to have it, in patent violation of her trust. Director Comey even conceded that former Secretary Clinton was “extremely careless” and strongly suggested that her recklessness very likely led to communications (her own and those she corresponded with) being intercepted by foreign intelligence services.
Yet, Director Comey recommended against prosecution of the law violations he clearly found on the ground that there was no intent to harm the United States.
In essence, in order to give Mrs. Clinton a pass, the FBI rewrote the statute, inserting an intent element that Congress did not require. The added intent element, moreover, makes no sense: The point of having a statute that criminalizes gross negligence is to underscore that government officials have a special obligation to safeguard national defense secrets; when they fail to carry out that obligation due to gross negligence, they are guilty of serious wrongdoing. The lack of intent to harm our country is irrelevant. People never intend the bad things that happen due to gross negligence.

You mean to let Hitlery off the hook.
We might know what’s in his report but when the MSM gets done with this announcement she’ll look as clean as the driven snow. His job was to investigate and turn over his findings. He was judge and jury. Sorry, but he failed.
As I said, Comey is a grade A spook...not Clinton stooge like Foster. BIG difference. I give Comey all credit for being smart enough to cover his Obama hole.
You're doing what you say the MSM will do. You're refusing to see the complexity of the situation, and how Comey defeated it. He proved she is guilty - that's the report. He also protected the report by drawing the wrong conclusion about it, and making it really, really clear that he made the wrong conclusion. You think the Director of the FBI can't lie better than this? He WANTS everyone to see that his conclusion is wrong!
She won’t need a pardon, because she won’t be convicted of anything.
She’s completely immune to prosecution under these clowns. She could explode kittens on television and nobody would dare indict her.
The republic is dead. It was nice while it lasted.
Tell that to ABCNBCCBSMSNBC.
It’s named that for a reason.
Washington D.C. = Democrat corruption
IF there are any decent FBI people still in that org., please get out NOW. A poisonous snake rots from the head down. The comeyhead has been exposed as rotten to its core.
Under the federal statutes that outline penalties for mishandling classified, intent is literally irrelevant. Either you followed the rules for creating, transmitting, storing and safeguarding classified material, or you didn’t. Clearly, Mrs. Clinton violated all of those requirements, on a daily basis. Yet, no “reasonable” prosecutor would bring charges.
I’ve said it before and I’ll repeat it again: the seminal scandal of the Clinton era was the unauthorized access of FBI background files. Not only did it yield dirt on almost a thousand prominent Republicans, it also opened up new avenues of digging on many, many more. Truth be told, the amount of information gathered over the past 25 years is staggering. Ever wonder why so many Republicans cave so quickly? In many cases, it goes back to the mother lode of op-research, which began with the background files.
The real question: what do the Clintons have on Mr. Comey? We know that John Roberts is supposedly vulnerable due to an overseas adoption that may have been illegal. The dirt on the FBI Director is probably far worse.
As one who once held top secret clearance at my job, Hillary can not be cleared based on what she did, which is basically mis-handling classified material. Every time I was in a meeting where classified material was discussed, it was ALWAYS in a secure conference room. Now, sadly politicians have superseded laws.
the FBI rewrote the statute, inserting an intent element that Congress did not require.
And obozo inserted new law into obozo care. The LAW is what men SAY it is.
God, please give us our nation back from our criminal oppressors and restore the rule of law founded from our beginning from Your written word as understood by our founding fathers. All three branches of government are now corrupt and sinful and harm your people. Have mercy on Your faithful and bring the might of Your justice against those that oppress Your children in faith and mockingly take from us liberty, freedom, and life. Destroy those that support our enemies and abuse our laws and oppress Your people. God bless America once more and look upon the faith of Your children and not our sins and have mercy.
Find the number of your reps and call them.
We can all do that.
They are counting on us doing nothing.
“There was “evidence of potential violations” of laws against handling classified information, Comey said.”
Comey added, “Nonetheless, let me again remind you that laws and indictments are only for the little people, and Hillary Clinton is simply too important of a person for the application of laws designed for unimportant people to follow. Therefore my hands are tied.”
After the clear Treason of the “Iran Deal”, why should we think the Senate would care to get involved? They’ll just wring their hands and say “We can’t do anything, the FBI isn’t under our authority.”.
Comey: “To be clear this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions but that’s not what we’re deciding here.“
A year ago, a Folsom Naval Reservist was Sentenced After Pleading Guilty to what Crooked Clinton walked away from, see comments above from Comey.

SACRAMENTO, CA—Bryan H. Nishimura, 50, of Folsom, pleaded guilty today to unauthorized removal and retention of classified materials.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Kendall J. Newman immediately sentenced Nishimura to two years of probation, a $7,500 fine, and forfeiture of personal media containing classified materials. Nishimura was further ordered to surrender any currently held security clearance and to never again seek such a clearance.
Nishimura was a Naval reservist deployed in Afghanistan in 2007 and 2008. In his role as a Regional Engineer for the U.S. military in Afghanistan, Nishimura had access to classified briefings and digital records that could only be retained and viewed on authorized government computers.
Nishimura, however, caused the materials to be downloaded and stored on his personal, unclassified electronic devices and storage media. He carried such classified materials on his unauthorized media when he traveled off-base in Afghanistan and, ultimately, carried those materials back to the United States at the end of his deployment.
In the United States, Nishimura continued to maintain the information on unclassified systems in unauthorized locations, and copied the materials onto at least one additional unauthorized and unclassified system.
Nishimura’s actions came to light in early 2012, when he admitted to Naval personnel that he had handled classified materials inappropriately. Nishimura later admitted that, , he destroyed a large quantity of classified materials he had maintained in his home. Despite that, when the Federal Bureau of Investigation searched Nishimura’s home in May 2012, agents recovered numerous classified materials in digital and hard copy forms.
The investigation did not reveal evidence that Nishimura intended to distribute classified information to unauthorized personnel.
This case was the product of an investigation by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Jean M. Hobler prosecuted the case.

“This means the election will be rigged too.”
Because there will be no punishment for those who subvert the law to favor Obama and Clinton. The investigators will take years, and, in the end, decide on their own “no intent.”
Boxes left: Soap Box. NOPE. No one is listening and the media covers for the elite.Ballot Box NOPE. Laws are systematically being ignored, even altered to screw traditional, working class, white, christian, gun owning citizens whilst protecting corrupt, oligarchic, elite behavior.
That leaves one box. We are close my friends. I hope you have your powder dry and your "list" of things to do when the balloon goes up.
Obama will pardon her on his way out the door, no matter who wins. As a demi-god, he gets to grant a plenary indulgence.
