Dir. Comey wrote an internal memorandum saying Hillary Clinton and others were guilty of gross negligence punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment;<ref>http://dailycaller.com/2017/11/06/report-comey-accused-clinton-of-gross-negligence-in-email-case/?utm_source=site-share</ref> Comey sent draft copies of a public announcement he was planning to Dep. Dir. [[Andrew McCabe]], [[James A. Baker (Department of Justice attorney)|FBI General Counsel James Baker]] and Chief of Staff [[James Rybicki]] for their input.<ref>http://dailycaller.com/2017/12/14/comey-draft-said-it-was-reasonably-likely-that-hillarys-server-was-hacked/?utm_content=bufferf8260&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer</ref> Comey had already decided to exonerate Clinton. Clinton herself and 17 other key witnesses had not yet been interviewed. Comey's memo further is evidence that he wholly anticipated on May 2, 2016 to usurp the [[Attorney General]]'s authority. It contradicts his sworn testimony that he only decided days in advance of his announcement not to recommend prosecution. The entire [[Democrat]]/[[Deep state]] theory was to allow the [[FBI]] to pick the next [[President of the United States]] - [[Hillary Clinton]] or [[Donald Trump]] - and the America people would passively and willingly acquiesce.

The FBI admitted it recovered thousands of State Dept. emails that originated or passed through Clinton’s private server — some which had been deleted — that were never turned over to the State Department as government records by Clinton’s team. Comey told Sen. Grassley that the FBI did investigate whether violations of Federal Records Act occurred.

Comey told Sen. Grassley that the FBI did investigate whether violations of Federal Records Act occurred.

The principal [[felony]] offense in Clinton’s case is the willful retention or transmission of classified information — subsections (d) and (e) of the Espionage Act (section 793 of the federal penal code). To prove this offense, the prosecutor must prove that the official 1) had possession of the information, 2) had “reason to believe [it] could be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of any foreign nation,” 3) transmitted it to an authorized person or place, or failed to deliver it on demand to an authorized government agency, and 4) acted willfully, which means acting intentionally and with an understanding that one’s actions are wrongful. This is a straightforward case of [[criminal]] intent.
