if those dumb asses on the congressional committee had proof, the charges could be easily filed.First things first.....Hillary knows they won't do anything to her.
“She’s too big to jail,” said national security attorneyEdward MacMahon Jr., who represented former CIA employee Jeffrey Sterling in 2011 in a leak case that led to an espionage prosecution and 3½-year prison term. He cited a pattern of light punishments for top government officials who have mishandled classified information while lower level whistleblowers such as Sterling have faced harsh prosecutions for revealing sensitive information to expose waste, fraud or abuse in government.
At least 671 emails thatClintonsent or received through her private server containedclassified material, according to the State Department’s latest update Friday from its ongoing review of more than 30,000 emails. Her aides also sent and received classified information.
In response to a public records lawsuit, the department released another7,200 pagesof Clinton’s emails after partially or entirely redacting any containing sensitive U.S. or foreign government information on a range of issues.
The inspectors general of the State Department and intelligence community have said that some contained classified information when they were generated, but they were not marked that way at the time.
Most of the classified emails are at the “confidential” level – the lowest level of classification – but if additional emails are determined to be the more sensitive “secret” or highly sensitive “top secret” levels, it would raise the gravity of a potential security breach.

Peter Zeidenberg, a former federal prosecutor who handles cases against local, state and federal officials, including Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff,Scooter Libby, for leaking the covert identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame, said Clinton’s actions may have been foolish but not necessarily illegal.
“If the emails were not marked, it would not be possible – at least not in my view – to establish that Ms. Clinton knowingly mishandled classified information,” he said. “How was she to know that this was classified if it was not marked?”
How? Because it's her damned job to know whether it's classified or not!!!
Fact.....every official State Department communication is considered to be classified.
Still, experts say that if Clinton aides pasted classified information into emails to her without including markings signaling the material was classified they could face felony charges.
Clinton’s campaign declined to comment for this story. Clinton initially said she did not send or receive any classified information – a denial she later adjusted, saying that none was marked as classified at the time.

First...you must find her guilty of something, then charge her with a crime.
After all that, if she's found guilty of something, then you can talk about jail.
"Cart before the horse" mean anything to you?
It means something to me. Honesty, national security, and the rule of law obviously means nothing to you.
They've already found evidence of perjury, obstruction of justice, and violations of the above regulations ( mishandling classified information).
Whether they're going to charge her is another matter.
They have probable cause. They're in the process of finding the proof they need to press charges on Hillary personally, and it isn't going to be easy. She's good at using scapegoats. She'll just throw someone under the bus and brush this one off like all of the other offenses she's been accused of.
I'm not sure you grasp the idea of proof.
Furthermore, they have to make sure they don't charge her with stuff they do too, themselves, on a regular basis.
