Newly released transcripts from Page’s private testimony in front of a joint task force of the House Judiciary and Oversight committees in July 2018 sheds new light on the internal discussions about an investigation into Clinton's emails.
Page said Comey and the FBI spoke with DOJ about a gross negligence charge for Clinton multiple times, but that the DOJ consistently pushed back on it. “We had multiple conversations with the Justice Department about bringing a gross negligence charge. And that’s, as I said, the advice that we got from the Department was that they did not think — that it was constitutionally vague and not sustainable," she said.
Ratcliffe asked if the decision not to charge Clinton with gross negligence was a direct order from the DOJ. "When you say advice you got from the Department, you’re making it sound like it was the Department that told you: ‘You’re not going to charge gross negligence because we’re the prosecutors and we’re telling you we’re not going to,’” he said. Page responded: “That’s correct.”

Just confirming what everyone already knew.
Obama's administration will be remembered as the most corrupt in American history.

The above would have been applicable to charge her (and anyone else involved) for the use of an unapproved server upon which to house classified information.
What always bothered me was when Comey said she didn't KNOWINGLY violate the statute.

Yeah, I always thought it was a bit odd as well that Comey implied that she didn't mean to be grossly negligent. I mean the gross negligent statute is specifically for the purpose of unintentionally mishandling classified information.
None of which is neither here nor there as I don't feel that she will ever be made face the consequences of those actions.

What makes her different from other folks, I wonder?

The dirt she has on a number of people and countries I would imagine. The kind of dirt wars get started over, both civil and international.

Her uncanny ability to make people shoot themselves multiple times in the head, fall off of cliffs, and be the only fatality when their plane crashes?
