No it wasnt. Stop Trying to change the laws to suit yourself because if what you say is true she would have been charged but she wasn't because it wasn't illegal.
You really think you know more than the FBI about this law? No.

As if a page out of a thesaurus is going to change facts. You wish.
"Although Director Comey's original version of his statement acknowledged that Secretary Clinton had violated the statute prohibiting gross negligence in the handling of classified information, he nonetheless exonerated her in that early, May 2nd draft statement anyway, arguing that this part of the statute should not be enforced," Grassley wrote.
A source familiar with the decision-making process at the FBI at the time tells CNN that "the Bureau and Jim were trying to see what a statement of declamation might look like -- and they were playing with the language throughout. The one thing that's a constant is that they thought what they had seen so far, subject to change, was that charges would not be appropriate but that the conduct was worthy of criticism. It was a matter of how to explain both."
"They wanted to get a sense of what this statement might look like," the source said. "They hadn't stopped investigating and they were continuing to seek access to all sorts of things from Hillary that she was fighting to have to turn over. But they also wanted internally to discuss what an end game might look like."
"Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless [grossly negligent] in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information"
James Comey
“I opted for convenience to use my personal email account, which was allowed by the State Department, because I thought it would be easier to carry just one device for my work and for my personal emails instead of two,” a self-assured Clinton told more than 200 reporters crowded into a U.N. corridor.
“Looking back, it would’ve been better if I’d simply used a second email account and carried a second phone.”
OIG found no evidence that the Secretary requested or obtained guidance or approval to conduct official business via a personal email account on her private server....DS and IRM did not—and would not—approve her exclusive reliance on a personal email account to conduct Department business,
...
they had no knowledge of approval or review by other Department staff.
The pertinent testimony from the former Chief of Staff, who declined OIG’s request for an interview, reads as follows:
Q
Was anyone consulted about Secretary Clinton exclusively using a personal email address for her work?
A
I don't recall that. If it did happen, I wasn't part of that process. But I don’t believe there was a consultation around it, or at least there's not one that I’m aware of, maybe I should better answer that way based on my knowledge.
Q
So no private counsel?
A
Not that I'm aware of.
Q
Okay. The general counsel for the State Department?
A
Not that I'm aware of.
Q
Okay. Anybody from the National Archives?
A
Not that I'm aware of. But I can only speak to my knowledge, obviously.
Q
Sure. And anyone from the White House?
A
Not that I'm aware of.
You should be careful about trying to change the laws to suit yourself.
Because y'know...quoting US Code is apparently changing laws now.

The evidence to date says otherwise. Specifically McCabes wife and the donations to her campaign.
McCabe is not a deity...
This is the consequence of more than one person at the FBI...
Secondly, those donations are highly likely to have been coerced via blackmail, or the less likely option to procure favour.
The idea that those donations are a result of actual agreement or kinship with the most despised woman in the Western world is absolutely at the bottom of the pile of possible reasons.

Yeah after having worked the case for a year. Her interview was simple confirmation.
The facts had already led them to their conclusions. They didn't and wouldn't decide this based solely on her interview. That's the dumbest thing ever suggested.
First she counted on the stupidity of her adversary, and then, when there was no other way out, she herself simply played stupid. If all this didn't help, she pretended not to understand, or, if challenged, she changed the subject in a hurry, quoted platitudes which, if you accepted them, she immediately related to entirely different matters, and then, if again attacked, gave ground and pretended not to know exactly what you were talking about. Whenever you tried to attack her, your hand closed on a jelly-like slime which divided up and poured through your fingers, but in the next moment collected again. But if you really struck her so telling a blow that, observed by the audience, she couldn't help but agree, and if you believed that this had taken you at least one step forward, your amazement was great the next day. She had not the slightest recollection of the day before, she rattled off her same old nonsense as though nothing at all had happened, and, if indignantly challenged, affected amazement; she couldn't remember a thing, except that she had proved the correctness of her assertions the previous day.

No they're not. You can call an apple an orange all day long but it won't change it into an orange. Sorry. That's trumps words coming out of your mouth. Familiar with the term puppet.
no puppet...
