Although, the "Crooked Hillary" theme is catching on. I heard that some bimbo on ABC blurted it out by mistake.

Nope. Still Crooked Hillary. This whole thing stinks to high heaven. Here's the relevant statute:
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/793
(f) Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information, relating to the national defense, (1) through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, or (2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer—
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.
So,
according to Comey, Hillary:
- extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information
- in seven e-mail chains concern matters that were classified at the Top Secret/Special Access Program level when they were sent and received, she was both sending e-mails about those matters and receiving e-mails from others about the same matters on her personal server, and Clinton " should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation"
- "all of these e-mails were housed on unclassified personal servers not even supported by full-time security staff, like those found at Departments and Agencies of the U.S. Government—or even with a commercial service like Gmail"
- the State Department in general, and with respect to use of unclassified e-mail systems in particular, was generally lacking in the kind of care for classified information found elsewhere in the government
So, if all of that is true, how did she not violate the law as quoted above?
