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?

I'm with ya. Anyone who's ever signed gov forms to get a clearance knows she's guilty. Even if you accept the premise that she didn't know any better (which is ludicrous), everyone knows that ignorance of the law is not an excuse.
Why would anyone want someone so flippant and reckless to run their country? I'll take an arrogant, ill mannered but successful business man over an incompetent careless fool any day.
