She knew full well what she did was against security regulations, but did it anyway due to her paranoia about the "vast right wing conspiracy." IMO, her actions should disqualify her as a candidate, notwithstanding the fact that I was generally supportive of her before this story broke. Her bunker mentality drove her to take a chance that her actions would remain undiscovered. They didn't. She rolled the dice and lost. Period.
The only reason that she remains a viable candidate (for the moment, anyway) is that the Democratic Party has so much invested in her after having chosen her as their sole candidate years ago.

Nice qualifier.
She was the Secretary of State though and
so far all the work emails have been classified ex post facto. No crime there.
Prudence would dictate that we wait until the DOJ calls for an investigation into Hillary personally. Lord knows we've seen all manner of false accusations thrown at the Clintons over the last twenty plus years and none have panned out.
What is so different about this one?
