Intel Community and DOS IGs found that HRC "emails were not retroactively classified"

16. Here's information that's much more current

From the Chicago Tribune (sort of a post-mortem opinion piece):

Prosecutors and FBI agents investigating Clinton's use of a personal email server have so far found scant evidence that the leading Democratic presidential candidate intended to break classification rules, though they are still probing the case aggressively with an eye on interviewing Clinton herself, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

That point about her intending to break classification rules is important, because in order to have broken the law, it isn't enough for Clinton to have had classified information in a place where it was possible for it to be hacked. She would have had to intentionally given classified information to someone without authorization to have it, like Gen. David Petraeus did when he showed classified documents to his mistress (and then lied to the FBI about it, by the way). Despite the enormous manpower and time the Justice Department has devoted to this case, there has never been even a suggestion, let alone any evidence, that Clinton did any such thing.

...

Just to be clear: I'm not defending Clinton's decision to use her own email for work, and house it on a private server. That was a mistake. It violated State Department policy. She shouldn't have done it. But acknowledging that is very different from saying she broke the law or jeopardized national security. As of now there is zero evidence that she did either.

And a story from PolitiFact:

Here’s what we know about the investigation so far.

The FBI is conducting an investigation. (It’s the Federal Bureau of Investigation, after all.)

Inspectors General from the State Department and the intelligence community referred the case to the Executive Branch in July 2015. The referral memo made clear that the Inspectors General were not suggesting that anyone involved in Clinton’s email setup committed a crime. Rather, they were following their statutory obligation to inform the intelligence community about any potential security breach — namely, that Clinton possibly held classified information on her email server located outside secure government facilities*.

Clinton says she never knowingly sent or received classified information, a possibly criminal action.

*emphasis mine

Y'all seem to be missing the big part of this story/investigation: Did Hillary Clinton INTEND to break the law or just skirt the rules? If it's just skirt the rules, there will never be an indictment on that matter and how they can they truly prove that she intended to break the law? Think of her what you will but I'm sorry, I just don't see Hillary Clinton intending to break espionage laws. If she's that great an evil mastermind, we wouldn't be having this discussion in the first place. We'd never know anything about the emails.
