Director of FBI James Comey on Tuesday
in a statement said that he would not recommend charges against Hillary
Clinton over her use of private email servers while Secretary of State,
but blasted her and her team for being so careless, noting that
receiving and sending classified information over private email servers
was very careless.
The FBI director pointed out
that the probe was tasked with examining whether Clinton or her aides
had mishandled classified information either intentionally or in a
grossly negligent way.
“Our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case,”
“Although
we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues
intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified
information,” he said, “there is evidence that they were extremely
careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified
information.”
