WASHINGTON — The FBI recommended Tuesday that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton should not face criminal charges over her use of a private email server as secretary of State, even though she and aides were "extremely careless" in handling classified information.
While FBI Director James Comey criticized Clinton and her aides for carelessly handling classified, top-secret information, he said there is no evidence she intended to do so, the basis for criminal charges.
"Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information," Comey said in a 15-minute statement explaining the investigation, "our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case."
Comey said his agency acted apolitically, and went where the facts took them. While, technically, the FBI makes recommendations to Justice Department prosecutors over potential charges, Attorney General Loretta Lynch has said she would accept the bureau's views in this case.
"In looking back at our investigations into mishandling of removal of classified information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts," Comey said.

Let the investigation begin this is obviously treason on part of the president and the justice department. Not to follow through on illegal activities by a state official! this is worse than Watergate! Full blame at the doorstep of the most untransparant admin ever. The administration of Obama
He said EXACTLY what I told you he would say.
Their moves are to easy to predict when it comes to protecting the elite.
They just gave Trump a bunker buster of a lever to flip the hildabeast over on her back. The fix......or, Two Sets Of Laws.
They don't care what you think it looks like (you think Bill and Lynch really just talked "grandkids"??? LOL!!).
We have entered the final phase of decline --- the powerful violate the law with glaring impunity and are protected by other powerful people. Serfs see those SAME PEOPLE put the serfs in jail and prison for the same or less.
Law and order (what "law" and order??) breaks down. Respect for the law leaves on the next plane outta town.
And the hanging begins.
You cheered this criminal. You cheered "your guy" as he openly sold you out (Paul Ryan, perhaps???). You cheered the decimation of our Constitution because they said you'd be "safer" if they took your rights. You're in more danger now than ever, so does that mean you have some MORE rights you'd like to give up for "safety"??
What DO they have to do before you wake up and realize the position "we, the people" are in now??? Which is at the bottom of the food chain. We're supposed to be at the top, you know.
keep cheering.
Im Clan,
I agree with you totally.
The US Government is corrupt to its core.
Once one understands this it becomes quite easy to predict what will happen next.
Hillary will become our master.
Clinton makes Cardinal Richelieu look like an amateur. James Comey is now her neutered lap dog.
Incredible.
