Hillary Clinton was careless when she used a personal email server during her tenure in the State Department— but there is no evidence she committed a crime, the FBI chief announced Tuesday.

"No charges are appropriate in this case," James Comey said.
While there is "evidence they were extremely careless in their handling of highly classified information," Comey said, "our judgement is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case."
Comey said Clinton used several different servers and numerous mobile devices, and that the FBI sifted through some 30,000 emails she had provided to the State Department.
Federal investigators found:
  • 110 emails sent or received on Clinton server contained classified information.
  • It's possible that "hostile actors" gained access to Clinton's personal email account.
  • There was "no intentionality" on Clinton's part to violate any laws.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch has already said she would abide by the FBI's recommendation.
