I agree with this article, however, I think it might be preemptive. Her administrative penalties are completely separate from her possible prosecution by the DOJ or other entities. In fact, the Comey specifically stated that usually, a person who had done what Clinton would face administrative penalties such as a loss of security clearance. The fact is, prosecuting her is now out of the question, but taking her security clearance away is not. In fact, that process is just beginning. Republicans in congress are beginning to call for exactly that[1]. So, I don't think she quite "got off easy" just yet. We will have to see whether her clearances are revoked or not, and what other administrative actions are taken against her.
