To indict someone, the criteria is supposed to be intent. Comey has used that to pretend there is no evidence that Hillary intentionally erased anything. Comey also stated that Hillarys lawyers erased her emails using a keyword search program and they did not read the emails. He added that he would not recommend charges against Hillary or her aides. Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information, Comey declared. It was Comey who indicted Frank Quattrone for claiming he instructed his people to erase emails in his technology-industry banking group at Credit Suisse Groups Credit Suisse First Boston, based upon a single email that read clean up those files in December 2000. That was more than enough for his intent requirement to obstruct justice. This further illustrates the double standard of justice for them vs. us. Comey has said that he could not find anyone else who had been prosecuted for such a thing, but then added after clearing Hillary that this is not to say everyone in the government can do this or that they would not prosecute someone else for the same thing. Comey said,[O]ur judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. Comey presented a scathing rebuke of Hillarys conduct that anyone else would have certainly been indicted for. For Obama to have announced in advance he would campaign for Hillary, it was clear that this was a cover-up and he knew the results before today. For Comey to say, Although we did not find clear evidence [of any intentional misconduct] there is evidence that they were extremely careless of very sensitive, highly classified information. It is the jurys role to determine if there is any evidence and the case should have been presented for a Grand Jury to decide if she should have been indicted. That, of course, is off limits as well. Comey went on to all but acknowledge that Russia hacked Hillarys emails: With respect to potential computer intrusion by hostile actors, we did not find direct evidence that Secretary Clintons personal e-mail domain, in its various configurations since 2009, was successfully hacked. But, given the nature of the system and of the actors potentially involved, we assess that we would be unlikely to see such direct evidence. We do assess that hostile actors gained access to the private commercial e-mail accounts of people with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact from her personal account. We also assess that Secretary Clintons use of a personal e-mail domain was both known by a large number of people and readily apparent. She also used her personal e-mail extensively while outside the United States, including sending and receiving work-related e-mails in the territory of sophisticated adversaries. Given that combination of factors, we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clintons personal e-mail account. For Comey to claim neither the Department of Justice nor the White House knew what he was going to announce, seriously undermines his trustworthiness in this matter. Of course, Obama knew or he would not have scheduled to campaign for Hillary since, if indicted, she would have had to be on bail to stay out of jail to even campaign. This is by no means credible. But nobody would have expected Hillary to be indicted when the Democrats control the executive branch. Had Hillary been indicted, she could not have run for office, for even that statute says such a person would be disqualified for such an office. The entire election would have been a fiasco and the Democratic Party would have collapsed. This is what Bernie was holding out for and why he had his talk with Obama who informed him forget it there would be no indictment for Hillary. From the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the State Department, 110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; 36 chains contained Secret information at the time; and eight contained Confidential information, which is the lowest level of classification. Separate from those, about 2,000 additional e-mails were up-classified to make them Confidential; the information in those had not been classified at the time the e-mails were sent, Comey said. Then, Comey contradicted Lynch in making it clear that the final decision was hers: As a result, although the Department of Justice makes final decisions on matters like this, we are expressing to Justice our view that no charges are appropriate in this case. TR01072002 - No Criminal Description James Comey was the chief prosecutor in the Southern District of New York between 2003 and 2005. He had no problem keeping me in Federal Prison on contempt of court without any charges, indictment, or a civil complaint describing any crime whatsoever that they even admitted openly in court. There were never any charges or complaint filed, and they publicly stated, [T]here is no description of criminal liability. Yet, Comey allowed me to be held in prison, entirely arbitrarily, with absolutely nothing whatsoever; Comey completely violated my civil rights, those of my family, and all 240 employees. So he is not someone who upholds the Constitution when it goes against government or the banks. As they say, the Department of Justice is really Just Us in reality. He has proven that once again. HSBC Gag Cover Comey also allowed a LIFETIME GAG ORDER on me to prevent me from providing any assistance to my clients in Japan to sue the bankers. Now the State Department has asked for a two-year stay in turning over any of Hillarys emails. Why would they do that if there is nothing criminal? This only proves that this is a cover-up, as always, because the Democratic Party cannot allow Hillary to go down for they would lose everything. Sorry, but Comey has a track record of defending the banks even when they stole $1 billion and pleaded criminally guilty before having to pay them back. He kept me in prison on contempt to turn over assets for a possible restitution, but when I got into the Supreme Court, I was released and no such charges were ever filed nor did I ever have any restitution. They then tried to prevent The Forecaster from being shown in the USA. So much for any honesty from the Department of Justice. It is the Department of Just Us, as they say.
Excuse the crap out of me but I was always taught that ignorance of the law is no excuse.
Wow, could you have inserted at least one paragraph break?

I really, really wish the Russians, if they do in fact have them, would release a few of Hillary’s emails just to undermine this administration and embarrass Comey and Clinton.
thanks
Clinton staff knew server had been infiltrated

It doesn’t require intent, but there clearly was intent. And what about lying under oath? Are we to believe she didn’t lie during 3.5 hours of questioning?
Oh wait, I forgot, she wasn’t under oath. Should have been.
In the ancient days, after making such a speech, the director would have gone home, put his things in order and saved face by hanging himself or opening a vein.
Comey SUCKS.
He needs to resign.
What FU^^ing Coward.
FBI is UTTERLY corrupt.
I wish the Russians and Wikileaks would release what they have on the Beast.
No intent there!
Clinton's State Dept. calendar missing scores of entries

One does not need intent to prosecute gross negligent handling of classified documents or information
