Exactly! So the answer is no, it won't hurt her campaign since her supporters don't care. It's sad, frustrating, and aggravating. It's a bad omen for the rule of law and common sense. What's most amazing is that even with the blistering condemnation of Secretary Clinton's reckless disregard, her supporter will see this as vindication of their support.

Delays in providing information requested by DOJ for 27 months. Check. Meet with AG and set up results of FBI investigation with Bill. Check. Make sure of FBI recommendations and promise to take it as if they were unknown. Check. Announce results within hours of interviews as if it was incorporated and compared with what was known. Check. Now we know who Hillary's FBI Director and AG will be. All is good. God Save the Queen!

Any, officer, NCO, or private in the U.S. military would be wearing an orange uniform for the EXACT same conduct and failures.

Capt (Join to see) I am not surprised Slick Willy has taught her well. My concern is how it has been handled.

No, those who were certain Clinton was guilty are still certain Clinton is guilty, those who believed it was all a lot of hype about nothing still believe it's a lot of hype about nothing. One thing I will say, is that had you or I handled classified information in such a way... we would be facing criminal charges.
We might as well start giving them noble titles like Countess and Duke if they are not subject to the same laws as we commoners.

CPT Pedro Meza - That would be an interesting development, when you look at the negativity numbers of both candidates. Most Trump voters are really voting against Clinton, and I believe that roughly half of Clinton supporters are really just voting against Trump. Bob Dole would be able to trounce a Clinton/Trump team.

SSG (Join to see) - All depends on the GOP, but given the fact that they have permitted the T-Party to take control I do not expect much from the GOP.

CPT Pedro Meza - The Republican party at it's core is the same as the Democratic party at it's core, the core of each is Corporate. These elections are more like a WWF match than real competition. The politicians say horrible things about each other, throw each other around the ring, but at the end of the day they get in the same car to go back to their hotel and share a beer. It's all a circus. I believe having 5-10 major parties instead of two would make corruption and collusion between corporations and government a little more difficult.

BLUF... I see Hilary getting off and the optics shows that liberal elites can get away with anything. If this happened to a regular Joe or civilian, you would be charged or fired! Sad day for America.

Just like Big Bill did not get impeached along party line votes for acquittal. U think this is bad wait till we have lived through 4 or 8 years of a Hillary and Bill Presidency. The scandals will titillate and infuriate the Nation, with little accountability. Partly I blame the Republicans who could not field a better candidate than the Donald to win their party's nomination. I also blame the corrupt two party system that gave us the choice between Hillary and The Donald.

The good news that since Hillary Rodham Clinton will not be prosecuted Sgt Tom Cunnally, other people convicted of similar crimes like GEN David Petraeus overturned. I hope those less famous individuals who have been convicted of sharing classified information with "friendly" governments and people will have their cases reviewed.
The most disturbing aspect of this whole affair to me is the carelessness of a potential President who has been very familiar with the inner workings of the Federal government since the early 1990s. She is a lawyer, a former Secretary and now former Secretary of State and I am not convinced that she does not consider herself above the law.
Per the BBC "FBI Director James Comey said "no reasonable prosecutor" would pursue a case but said the likely Democratic presidential nominee was "extremely careless" with classified information.
The decision ends the legal uncertainty that has dogged the Clinton campaign.
However, Mr Comey was highly critical of Mrs Clinton and her staff.
"Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information," Mr Comey said.
"There is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information."

How can this decision have any effect on the case of Petreus or any other previously tried and convicted? The FBI recommendation isn't the same as case law. In truth, the decision to recommend no indictment in Hillary's case applies to Hillary only.

CPT Jack Durish - this is a hope statement similar to the Forlorn Hope of units who did or died. Hillary Rodham Clinton seems to think that she is above the law which is scary because she is somebody who has formal legal training and experience and has worked at the highest levels of government for so long.

LTC Stephen F. - Hillary doesn't "think she's above the law". Hillary "is" above the law. She has a long and colorful career of law-breaking that has gone unpunished to prove the point.

You don't need intent. Gross Negligence is enough. 18 US Code 793

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.

It is now up to the court of public opinion so we shall see if this adds to her untruthfulness?? Mr. Comey found gross negligence by the State Dept and Hillary Clinton

The coverup of Hillary's malfeasance may cause more harm to her political ambitions than her malfeasance itself. Keep in mind that Nixon wasn't forced from office for the burglary at the Watergate, but for the coverup.

I don't think it will. Only 1-3% of the population (military, vets, IC, and some of the federal civil service) understand the true effect of this action. The rest of the US public has no idea.
