So they were "extremely careless" (his words) but not "grossly negligent"? Does anyone know what legal principle is supposed to separate those?

- noobermin 10y agoTherein lies the fault. An investigation by the FBI is not a courtroom, so "legal principles" aren't their job, but determining whether they could move forward with a prosecution or not is. I suppose the two are not linearly independent, but IANAL so I don't know enough to make a judgement on it. It's hard really to tell from here whether this means Clinton is above the law or not, but I can definitely say this gives the appearance of it. Moreover, Trump won't give a shit what the FBI uses, he'll use it against her anyway and big portion of the American public, Trump supporters and non-supporters (ie., disaffected Bernie supporters) will agree with him on this anyway.
