You can't have that stuff where she had it. You certainly can't give other people like Huma access to it.

Again, not everything that is forbidden or illegal is criminal/.

That's why you're throwing up your hands. You're not recognizing that it's not just enough to show that what Clinton did violated the rules on handling classified information. That she wasn't allowed to store the information there.

You have to show that her behavior violated a criminal statute. Not merely that it was wrong or illegal - that it was a crime.

The reason she wasn't charged is because her behavior didn't fit any criminal statutes. Without that, a crime can't be charged. It doesn't matter how illegal or wrong someone's behavior is - if it doesn't violate a criminal statute, charges can't be brought.
