In the moments following FBI Director James Comey’s announcement on Tuesday that Hillary Clinton should not face criminal charges for her private e-mail servers scandal, the cast assembled by ABC News hailed the “extraordinary decision” as “a momentous day” signaling that “a cloud is lifted” for Clinton to continue on with the presidential race and President Obama to give his own thoughts on the matter.
Senior Justice correspondent Pierre Thomas dubbed Comey’s recommendation an “extraordinary decision” and blistering for Clinton but emphasized the early spin that “they looked at precedent and found no case like it where prosecutors would have went for it and did not believe the Justice Department would have gone for it.”

In their own deluded minds and in that of the Kool Aid drinkers.
Hillary was not found to be “careless.” She was found “extremely reckless” but The Justice Department finds it was not negligence.
This was not only negligence, it was gross negligence:
n. carelessness which is in reckless disregard for the safety or lives of others, and is so great it appears to be a conscious violation of other people’s rights to safety. It is more than simple inadvertence, but it is just shy of being intentionally evil. If one has borrowed or contracted to take care of another’s property, then gross negligence is the failure to actively take the care one would of his/her own property. If gross negligence is found by the trier of fact (judge or jury), it can result in the award of punitive damages on top of general and special damages.”
IMHO, Civil Suits could be brought. We were all endangered.
The Lynch bitch said the fix is in.
So Snowden gets clemency too right? We can just call it carelessness
The administration decided to indict itself instead of Hillary.
The money quote from Comey:
“To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences,” Comey added. “To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions.
“But that is not what we are deciding now.”
Talk about selective prosecuting!!!!!! This POS government can stick it!
He deliberately and knowingly avoided viewing the facts in light of 18 USC 1924(a), and prosecutions under that statute.
US v. Bryan Nishimura <- Indictment filed 24 July 2015
“they looked at precedent and found no case like it where prosecutors would have went for it and did not believe the Justice Department would have gone for it.”
Shouldn’t that have been DOJ’s responsibility to decide?
Now both get to skate.
Disgusting.
Prosecutors would have gone for it with any other citizen,
the fact that Clinton has an army of lawyers to obfuscate
and fight a prosecution has deterred justice.
Crooked HIllary has now made a mockery of the law and we
will see the continued erosion of those things that made
our nation different from so many others.
The media has always been in the tank for Hillary Clinton and the entire Clinton regime. There is NO worse prada than the mainstream media..maybe North Korea but thats about it..heck even North Korea looks at our media and giggles
Careless or negligence is irrelevant. Such persons have a duty to comply with the law, as do the rest of us. Go to hell America’s bureaucratic elite I a higher pursuit of a paycheck than justice according to the law.
Hoo-RAY!!!
See 18 USC 1924(a), the "manslaughter" equivalent for handling classified materials. The fact that the classified material has been knowingly removed and kept from it's "safekeeping place" is enough. No need for criminal intent or gross negligence.
See US v Bryan Nisimura, a 2015 case on a violation of 18 USC 1924(a).
Folsom Naval Reservist is Sentenced After Pleading Guilty to Unauthorized (trunc) (2015)

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.
