"Separate from those, about 2,000 additional e-mails were “up-classified” to make them Confidential; the information in those had not been classified at the time the e-mails were sent."
"
i should add here that we found no evidence that any of the additional work-related e-mails were intentionally deleted in an effort to conceal them. Our assessment is that, like many e-mail users, Secretary Clinton periodically deleted e-mails or e-mails were purged from the system when devices were changed"
"In looking back at our investigations into mishandling or removal of classified information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts. All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of: clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information; or vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of intentional misconduct; or indications of disloyalty to the United States; or efforts to obstruct justice. We do not see those things here."
"As a result, although the Department of Justice makes final decisions on matters like this, we are expressing to Justice our view that no charges are appropriate in this case."
It is literally in Comey's statement which i am sure you never took the time to read.
Director Comey's statement to the press on the FBI’s investigation of Secretary Clinton’s use of a personal e-mail system during her time as Secretary of State.

Way to miss the most important bits.
1. Secretary Clinton’s use of a personal e-mail system - Knowingly placing classified information onto a personal electronic device is a ****ING CRIME!!!! And yes, she knew she had a personal server. And these were not cleared by State, nor were they turned into State for proper declassification/destruction when they were removed from service. These are ****ING CRIMES!!!!!
2. "From the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the State Department,
110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to
contain classified information at the time they were sent or received.
Eight of those chains contained information that was
Top Secret at the time they were sent;
36 chains contained
Secret information at the time; and
eight contained Confidential information, which is the lowest level of classification.
Number 2 is the real deal. Let me receive and forward just one Top Secret document on my Gmail and watch me lose my freaking job. Eight of them? Yeah, I'm doing time.
