I have a problem when a well respected FBI director states that Hillary Clinton and the people who worked for her were "Extremely careless" in their handing of highly classified information. Someone of her education and experience should know better she seems to really have no excuse or even an explanations other then the whole investigation was political driven.

Sorry for the spelling error in the poll of Hillary's name it won't let me edit it now.

I already made up my mind to not vote for her, it was before the emails being well-spread that I made that decision, however it only fortified my position on who to vote for.

People who work in the world of 3-letter agencies have their job security on the line every day when it comes to handling classified information. Honest mistakes of a minor nature are not cause for immediate firing, but there is a permanent record and if enough "mistakes" occur that person is gone.

This is not a Republican vs Democrat issue.

Hillary blatantly broke the rules and lied about it. Multiple times. I won't vote for her. I wouldn't vote for Petraeus if he ever ran for anything either.

How the people don't understand what she did endangered national security is beyond me. Wikileaks just published DNC emails, and we are supposed to believe Hillary's email wasn't compromised is some way?

Republican primary voters didn't provide a viable alternative to Hillary Clinton.

Unless someone produces film of her personally murdering someone, she'll be elected the 45th President of the United States.

I recognize political theater when I see it. The email revelations have absolutely no bearing on her ability to perform the duties of the President. Bottom line: there's only one qualified choice this year and she is it. (well maybe Johnson, too).

I had to vote "yes", even though it was not really true.
There should have been a "No, it didn't have any effect on my decision. I would not vote for her anyway!" choice.
THAT would be the real truth!

This is really pretty inconsequential. Even Colin Powell has agreed that the directives didn't use to be that stringent, and this was no big deal. There was no deliberate wrongdoing. And as far as I've heard, nothing bad has resulted.

There is no significant evidence that Clinton was in any way careless. Having a personal server for that job she has admitted was dumb. And if you wish to vote against her for having made a dumb mistake that is your right.

Comfey neither has nor claims the ability to determine that Clinton had anything classified on her machine. The only instance cited is a hair splitter...someone apparently incorrectly marked a piece of her daily schedule as classified. If you listen to Comfey you would know he is very careful to qualify this one as he knows it is not really a significant deviation.

The other stuff is clearly the attempt by some other agency to claim original discussion by Clinton and staff violated classified space. However the matters are so classified that they cannot be discussed.

Comfey is in no way qualified to determine or discuss such matters and should be censured for talking outside his job description and his personal knowledge.

I won't vote for Hillary because I don't believe in her stance. The lying, hiding and her as a person is what just entices my reasoning not to vote for her. If I was a democrat I would not vote for her.
