Hmmm ...
He later explained why he came to that conclusion, and how his mind was changed:
“So, I had that belief initially after reviewing, you know, a large binder of her emails that had classified information in them,” he said. “And I discussed it internally with a number of different folks, and eventually became persuaded that charging her was not appropriate because we could not establish beyond a reasonable doubt that — we, the government, could not establish beyond a reasonable doubt that — she had the intent necessary to violate (the law).”
So the FBI's top lawyer can't read a law that clearly does NOT require intent to constitute a violation.
Good to know.

Naw, that wouldn't be Hillary-cide. That would be witness-cide or critic-cide.
What bothered me, according to the article, was that even after the "no intent" decision, they decided not to go after her for clearly provable gross negligence, which in security matters, would have obviated the need to have "intent" for prosecution.
This decision... for the good of the country. :facepalm:
And these decisions were made by the investigating agency, not the prosecuting authority. :facepalm: :facepalm:
Sheesh!
A dark, dark moment in American history.
