...a three year investigation by the State Department into Clinton's use of a private email server found "no evidence of deliberate mishandling of classified information." As usual, the story, which was front and center for most of 2015-2016, merits minimal coverage.
Of the 33,000 emails reviewed as part of the investigation, 588 violations were found, but on the sender's part, not Clinton's. 497 of these were not found to be due to anyone's direct fault. 38 people were reprimanded for the other 91 violations of policy, which did not rise to the level of "criminal." The violations go on their record and will be considered when applying for or renewing security clearances in the future. Basically, the findings affirm what Comey originally said: sloppy and negligent - but not criminal.
I'm going to guess that there will still be reasons for many people (most notably, Trump's base) to hang on to their "she was guilty" positions and their "lock her up" chants, despite the findings of a Republican-driven investigation under a Republican administration. So much for "rule of law."
