Are we even watching the same interview?
Comey killed it and made Trump and Fox look like idiots.
He had a perfect answer and reason for every question.

"Gross negligence is a conscious and voluntary disregard of the need to use reasonable care, which is likely to cause foreseeable grave injury or harm to persons, property, or both. It is conduct that is extreme when compared with ordinary Negligence, which is a mere failure to exercise reasonable care."
"conscious and voluntary disregard...which is likely to cause" is essentially intent. You have to prove that the person was intentionally doing something that they knew would likely cause "grave injury or harm" for it to be gross negligence.
The United States strongly condemns the illegal disclosure of classified information. It puts people's lives in danger, threatens our national security, and undermines our efforts to work with other countries to solve shared problems.
This administration is advancing a robust foreign policy that is focused on advancing America's national interest and leading the world in solving the most complex challenges of our time. From fixing the global economy, to thwarting international terrorism, to stopping the spread of catastrophic weapons, to advancing human rights and universal values. In every country and in every region of the world, we are working with partners to pursue these aims.
So, let's be clear, this disclosure is not just an attack on America's foreign policy interest, it is an attack on the international community. The alliances and partnership, the conversations and negotiations that safeguard global security and advance economic prosperity.
AND
I would also add that to the American people and to our friends and partners, I want you to know that we are taking aggressive steps to hold responsible those who stole this information. I have directed that specific actions be taken at the State Department in addition to new security safeguards at the Department of Defense and elsewhere to protect State Department information so that this kind of breach cannot and does not ever happen again.

Robert Mueller, who as U.S. Attorney headed the Noriega (a related Iran-Contra inquiry)(footnote 94) and the BCCI bank investigations,(footnote 95) found no evidence pointing to illegal behavior by George H.W. Bush. His subsequent investigation into Enron found no wrong doing by Enron.(footnote 96) Mueller would later be called up to head the WTC Investigation.

Footnote 94 : Mueller was recruited by Iran-Contra US Attorney General Richard L. Thornburgh to manage the Noriega Investigation, which was intricately linked to the Iran-Contra Investigation.
Footnote 95 : “After the Bank of England shuts down BCCI in July 1991…, making big headlines, Under Assistant Attorney General Robert Mueller takes over Justice Department efforts on BCCI and assigns many new attorneys to the case.”
From “Context of 'July 5, 1991: Criminal BCCI Bank Is Shut Down' :

Footnote 96 : “FBI Director Robert Mueller, for example, was hired by Enron in 1993 to investigate a $600,000 payment by a subsidiary for a property assessed at $41,000. When Mueller concluded the deal was not improper, a private investigator working on the case quit in protest.
Despite this association, Mueller announced that it was not enough to cause him to step down from the Enron investigation. Mueller said that Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson — who previously worked for a law firm that represented Enron — agreed.”
See ‘Enron played key role in events presaging war, Martin Yant, The Free Press, Spring 2002, April 10, 2002.
The role of Noriega’s investigation vis-à-vis the Iran Contra investigation was documented in Oliver North’s files.

No fan of either party but you do have to give Trump credit for at least removing some of the senior reptilians from The Swamp.
Sen. Charles Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has sent a letter to FBI Director James Comey demanding the story behind the FBI’s reported plan to pay the author of a lurid and unsubstantiated dossier on then-candidate Donald Trump.
Last month the Washington Post reported that the FBI planned to pay Christopher Steele to investigate Trump “a few weeks before the election.” Steele was at the time being paid by supporters of the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.
“The idea that the FBI and associates of the Clinton campaign would pay Mr. Steele to investigate the Republican nominee for president in the run-up to the election raises further questions about the FBI’s independence from politics, as well as the Obama administration’s use of law enforcement and intelligence agencies for political ends,” Grassley wrote.
In his letter, Grassley demanded that the FBI turn over all its records relating to Steele and the dossier, in addition to “all FBI policies, procedures, and guidelines applicable when the FBI seeks to fund an investigator associated with a political opposition research firm connected to a political candidate, or with any outside entity.”

I dont think so..
need to use reasonable care she needed to use reasonable care to ensure classified information didn't leave secure systems and wasn't disclosed to outside parties.
She knew the requirements, she knew that classified intel must remain on classified systems.
She knowingly, voluntarily and deliberately moved those classified information/s to insecure systems
She didn't expect it to be found out and she didn't expect it to be hacked.
If it does cause damage to people or institutions isn't the concern, its if she did it potentially resulting in that.
She's guilty and got off purely because she offered Loretta Lynch a position in her Administration
Loretta Lynch took the word of the ''team'' when they said dont prosecute.
The ''team'' was run by Mccabe and Comey
When it was realized Clinton wasnt going to win, Mccabe, Comey, Lynch and Obama colluded to get Trump impeached based on fake intelligence.
Comey used his contacts to leak the fake information, Mccabe and Lynch utilized Strzok to get the FISA warrant.
Obama looked the other way
