Preview of the FBI report. [View all]

It will be a huge detailed report but here is a summary of critical findings as it pertains to Hillary Clinton:

-- Former SOS Clinton's personal email server was not appropriately secured for classified communications.
-- We found no direct evidence the server was compromised or broken into or hacked.
-- Use of a private server for her SOS communications wouldn't have been approved had she requested guidance.
-- There were numerous emails that contained classified information.
-- All of the emails that contained classified information were not marked as classified at the time.
-- There were messages the SOS should have known contained classified information even though not marked.
-- We found no evidence the SOS deliberately or knowingly sent or requested classified messages.
-- The SOS was negligent and broke rules and procedures regarding proper handling of classified information.
-- However we found no evidence there was gross negligence or that she did this knowingly or willingly.
-- Therefore we do not recommend any legal action against former SOS Clinton.

My take... not official.

you are way closer to being right on this.... beachbum bob Jun 2016 #1

LOL. Funny, funny, funny. floriduck Jun 2016 #31

What we do know for certain is that Hillary's lawyer was Gen Petraeus's lawyer in his case. politicaljunkie41910 Jun 2016 #59

He got off without jail time, so his lawyer isn't half bad. But, he won't become President, either. leveymg Jun 2016 #62

What Petraeus did was willful and intentional which makes what he did much worse than politicaljunkie41910 Jun 2016 #64

No, it's the other way around. The exposure of classified materials in HRCs case is far worse. leveymg Jun 2016 #65

That's your opinion. I'll stick to mine. I worked many years in the environment and I know how politicaljunkie41910 Jun 2016 #67

The damn investigation has gone on for 9 months. Either they have something or they don't still_one Jun 2016 #2

I suspect its going to come out in the next few weeks during the down time before the convention. DCBob Jun 2016 #3

I hope you are right Bob. This has gone on too long, and it is ridiculous. I also think your OP still_one Jun 2016 #5

Comey is being super careful and cautious.. for good reason. DCBob Jun 2016 #8

Comey has been reported as hating the Clintons 1-on-1 conversations. May be the opposite ashtonelijah Jun 2016 #14

That is what is a concern to me, that this is no longer and investigation, but a political maneuver still_one Jun 2016 #20

I'm getting frustrated too democrattotheend Jun 2016 #21

Isn't that the same stuff we hear every single time something is released? ismnotwasm Jun 2016 #4

Your credibility on this matter is shot when you use kcjohn1 Jun 2016 #6

I guess you will be leaving on June 16 Gomez163 Jun 2016 #7

Here is what President Obama said about this matter.. DCBob Jun 2016 #10

OMG, from a RIGHT WING SOUCE. floriduck Jun 2016 #32

Obama is the source.. Fox News Interview. DCBob Jun 2016 #34

Journalists file multiple FOIA requests for the same document because tandem5 Jun 2016 #28

Was the report leaked by e-mail? JonathanRackham Jun 2016 #9

Nope.. my prediction.. DCBob Jun 2016 #12

There is absolutely no way LoverOfLiberty Jun 2016 #11

Very good point. DCBob Jun 2016 #13

I was just telling my husband the very same thing! MoonRiver Jun 2016 #17

That sums up my feelings as well Proud Liberal Dem Jun 2016 #18

3. It helps the United States of America. senz Jun 2016 #23

Agreed, that seems pretty obvious. TwilightZone Jun 2016 #55

That is a very likely outcome Gothmog Jun 2016 #15

I just wish they would issue their report, so the country can move on. MoonRiver Jun 2016 #16

Exactly.. they do owe it to the nation to put this matter to rest.. DCBob Jun 2016 #19

I don't think they have interviewed her yet yeoman6987 Jun 2016 #27

They may not interview her if they think they have everything they need. DCBob Jun 2016 #46

I do, too. One thing is certain: PJMcK Jun 2016 #54

Agreed, this is getting a little ridiculous. TwilightZone Jun 2016 #58

I hope the FBI is also looking into the Foundation. senz Jun 2016 #22

So not a preview of the report, just an opinion piece. Kentonio Jun 2016 #24

That sounds pretty close to what it will actually be. MineralMan Jun 2016 #25

Your first point is a truism. tandem5 Jun 2016 #26

Res ipsa loquitur DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2016 #29

Precisely. DCBob Jun 2016 #36

Wow I Somehow Missed That Stallion Jun 2016 #48

yes, mens rhea; "guilty mind" DLCWIdem Jun 2016 #63

That's as good as official since there will be no significant penalties. oasis Jun 2016 #30

FYI... these are my predictions.. no official source. DCBob Jun 2016 #35

I'm sure Hillary's already put the issue in her rear view mirror. oasis Jun 2016 #41

Yep. DCBob Jun 2016 #43

She did not do it knowingly or willingly? Skwmom Jun 2016 #33

Gross negligence. DCBob Jun 2016 #40

Using your own private service in your closet is not serious carelessness? PLUS, with the importance Skwmom Jun 2016 #47

Intent. DCBob Jun 2016 #49

She was aware that her Blackberry and server were uncertified for classified info, was warned leveymg Jun 2016 #60

You best hurry and gets this crap out of your system.. DCBob Jun 2016 #68

Incompetent rather than criminal? Tierra_y_Libertad Jun 2016 #37

Not incompetent.. just didn't follow all the rules and regs perfectly. DCBob Jun 2016 #44

I suspect you are correct. NT Adrahil Jun 2016 #38

Key words: not official. Vinca Jun 2016 #39

Doesn't mean: not correct. DCBob Jun 2016 #42

Meh Tarc Jun 2016 #45

Sounds as though you've followed the case closely. kstewart33 Jun 2016 #50

Have to to keep up with the "indictment fairy" believers! DCBob Jun 2016 #52

Congrats! You just made a gross negligence case under 18 USC 793(f)(1) and (2). That's two felonies! leveymg Jun 2016 #51

What will you spend your time on when this all goes away?? DCBob Jun 2016 #53

Still hoping for the "absolution fairy" I guess tk2kewl Jun 2016 #66

I am only hoping the report comes out as soon as possible.. DCBob Jun 2016 #71

Only if you have no idea what gross negligence is. TwilightZone Jun 2016 #57

I have a hint 4U. If you want to know the prevailing standard, look at similar cases. Here's two. leveymg Jun 2016 #61

These cases are not similar. DCBob Jun 2016 #70

I read your OP and this instantly sprang to mind - Juicy_Bellows Jun 2016 #56
