No surprise from the FBI email announcement

This is Comeys statement directly from the FBI, not a "Fox News" report. HRC apologists can tap dance all they want but the simple fact is she is careless and ignorant. Her only goal is to cover her tracks, I am suspicious of anyone who spends as much time as she does trying to keep her activities a secret. There is no place for that in this government.

"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.

….seven e-mail chains concern matters that were classified at the Top Secret/Special Access Program level when they were sent and received. These chains involved Secretary Clinton both sending e-mails about those matters and receiving e-mails from others about the same matters. There is evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton’s position, or in the position of those government employees with whom she was corresponding about these matters, should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation."

It would've been nice if dems had those standards in '08.

Like trump... obama had no substantive govt leadership experience.

Oh, you mean when experience didn't matter and it was an 'historical election'....

There is no excuse and/or explanation that can be offered to defend her careless/dangerous handling of classified information....When polls indicate in the 60-67% range that it is believed she was guilty of the infractions and her being exonerated is wrong explains the problems she continues to have....
