Will be interesting to keep an eye on the future careers of Lynch and Comey, particularly if (when) Hillary takes office.

Representative Mark Meadows, Republican of North Carolina, pressed the witness on whether Mrs. Clinton should have recognized the notation. “I think it’s possible she didn’t understand what a ‘C’ meant when she saw it in the body of an email,” Mr. Comey replied.

The point is there was no evidence of criminal intent and I don't think anyone supporting Clinton is going to switch their vote to Donald Trump as a result of this witch hunt, which is all that it is.Enter the Church and wash away your sins.

Secondly, it doesn't say at all what you think it says.
You really need to stop this, Jim - because your biased site talks about "email accounts", not email SERVERS.
I'll try to make this simple....
An email account - like Gmail - is hosted on servers run by professional companies that include guaranteed uptime, security (both physical and digital), backups (both power and data). There is a reasonable amount of security to be expected, but even these can be hacked without great difficulty. They require HUGE staffs of infrastructure people, security monitors, technical engineers, etc....
A "home brewed server" is what Hillary was used. It did not have ANYWHERE NEAR the restrictions on physical access or digital access that Gmail or Yahoo or other mail systems use.
It's not the same - Hillary used email accounts on unsecured servers that her own incompetent staff managed. NOT the same as Powell and Rice using "publicly available" email accounts, though that's a bad thing to do, as well.
EVEN IF there was a comparison, the EXTENT to which Hillary used her own private email server (and numerous email accounts) for the transmission of CLASSIFIED INFORMATION was exposed by the FBI director as extremely careless, which is the very definition of "extreme negligence".The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

On the "it wasn't intentional" excuse...
The State Department has a manual, 12 FAM 550, which is by authority of Executive Order 12958, National Security Information, dated April 20, 1995.
Source: 12 FAM 558
Incidents involving intentional or grossly negligent release or mishandling of classified information may be subject to criminal penalties. An illustrative list of criminal statutes establishing penalties of fine and imprisonment for the release of classified information is set forth in 12 FAM 558 Exhibit 558.
Notice the "OR"... that means it isn't just intentional release that is subject to criminal penalties.That's what

In an unusual move, FBI agents working the Hillary Clinton email case had to sign a special form reminding them not to blab about the probe to anyone unless called to testify.
Sources said they had never heard of the “Case Briefing Acknowledgment” form being used before, although all agents must initially sign nondisclosure agreements to obtain security clearance.
“This is very, very unusual. I’ve never signed one, never circulated one to others,” said one retired FBI chief.
An FBI agent currently on the job admitted, “I have never heard of such a form. Sounds strange.”
Meanwhile, FBI agents expressed their “disappointment” over FBI Director James Comey’s decision not to recommend charges against Clinton, sources close to the matter told The Post.
“FBI agents believe there was an inside deal put in place after the Loretta Lynch/Bill Clinton tarmac meeting,” said one source.
