Whether they elect to indict her for that is another matter. But what she did broke a criminal law - period.
Marines are under orders to fight until death to protect information like that at embassies. It's pretty serious or the FBI wouldn't have spent a year looking at it. The FBI had to have seen something to keeping pumping more time and resources into it.
I think it's vary naive to get sucked into media reports that occur within hours of their chat with Hillary to declare no indictment. We heard those reports several months ago and months later, they're still going at it.
They have to check out what she told them for 3 1/2 hours - see if it lines up or if she's lying or if it's identified some other things they need to nail down. They have to pull the evidence together and debate the charges and whether they have enough evidence to indict. Then they have to write it up and pass it along to the DOJ. Then the DOJ have to kick it around to see what parts they agree or disagree with. Maybe go back to the FBI for clarifications, etc. Some of that has been ongoing but not the whole thing.
Do all that and one is in a position to say whether there are any indictments or not. You're not going to do all that in a couple of hours after interviewing her - particularly when millions of eyes scrutinizing what you're doing are on you. They're dotting the i's and crossing the t's.
