Does the statute say anything about INTENT or does it not?
It doesn't need to for a prosecutor to use it as a gauge for whether a crime was committed. No matter how many times you deny it, everyone who knows anything about the law knows your comments are ridiculously ignorant. You're wrong. Get over it.

Since you now admit (finally) that the statue doesn't require intent then Comey DID NOT follow the law, he in fact made new law which is NOT his job. His job is to follow the law AS WRITTEN and leave it to the prosecutors to decide if they will go forward or not. Hillary most certainly violated the law AS WRITTEN and she should have been referred to the DOJ for a determination resulting in a grand jury deciding if it was serious enough to go forward instead of Comey (basically a Cop) taking it on himself to short circuit the process.
But I guess your ideology gets in the way of understanding or admitting how things are supposed to work when the system is not influenced/controlled by rabid politics.

I agree that Comey gave her every break he could in not recommending an indictment. It's too bad she and her cronies got away with it. But now there are more important things to do than pursuing her email fiasco. The Foundation still is worth continued investigation. But I'd just as soon Trump and the R's view Hillary as history and focus on the next 4 years.

Get over it. She did not violate the statute with our without intent. It is simply not applicable to a SofS in the course of her job. The documents involved were created on Clinton's system and are a work product of the State Dept. They are classified as Clinton decides...no one else.
Comey understands the complexity of a Dept head and classification and correctly backed off. He was wrong in his comments about her carelessness in that it is not part of his job and he is not an expert on the subject.

Could you twist the facts any more to fit your agenda?
Under a United States statute that first went into effect in 1968, FBI directors are nominated by the president and must be confirmed by the Senate — a process similar to the nomination and confirmation of Supreme Court justices or presidential cabinet officials.
Unlike the justices, who are appointed for life and cannot be fired — but can be impeached by congress (which has happened only one time in American history) — or cabinet officials who have no set terms, the FBI director is appointed to a single term of 10 years.
The statute establishing the 10-year term limit was passed in 1976, four years after the death of legendary FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, who held on to the job for 48 years.
But according to a 2014 report by the Congressional Research Service, “there are no statutory conditions on the President’s authority to remove the FBI Director.” In other words, the President can indeed fire the FBI director. An FBI director can also be removed by congress, through the impeachment process.
Jim is right: That's effectively just a term limit. I doubt either candidate intended to keep Comey on as FBI Director.

Still no word even from Trump supporting your claims. Seems like you're the only one who believes that nonsense.

Comey can IN FACT be fired...
