Trey Gowdy reveals stunning reason why Clinton wasn’t indicted by FBI---Gowdy: Hillary Wasn't Indicted Over Email Scandal Because FBI Didn't Bother Asking Her About Intent 80FG.,B60
When FBI Director James Comey announced in July criminal charges would not be brought against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for storing and transmitting top secret, classified information on a number of different private servers, this is the argument he made regarding intent (bolding is mine):
Our investigation looked at whether there is evidence classified information was improperly stored or transmitted on that personal system, in violation of a federal statute making it a felony to mishandle classified information either intentionally or in a grossly negligent way, or a second statute making it a misdemeanor to knowingly remove classified information from appropriate systems or storage facilities.

Although we do not have complete visibility because we are not able to fully reconstruct the electronic record of that sorting, we believe our investigation has been sufficient to give us reasonable confidence there was no intentional misconduct in connection with that sorting effort.

Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. Prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of factors before bringing charges. There are obvious considerations, like the strength of the evidence, especially regarding intent.

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.
But according to former prosecutor and House Oversight Committee member Trey Gowdy, who has seen the notes taken during an interview conducted by the FBI with Clinton about her private email servers, agents didn't ask the former Secretary and current Democrat presidential nominee about intent at all.
"Remember James Comey said she was not indicted because he didn't have sufficient evidence on the issue of intent? I didn't see any questions on the issue of intent. There's no question she handled them [classified emails] negligently or extremely carelessly, he said he didn't go forward with charges specifically because he didn't have criminal intent. I didn't see any questions on that," Gowdy said on Fox News Thursday morning.
How can the FBI prove or disprove intent if they never asked about it?
Gowdy also argued the FBI interview notes should be released to the public. At this point the FBI is refusing to do so.
It should also be noted the mishandling of classified information doesn't require intent for prosecution.

==================
I think the final decision not to indict Hillary Clinton was already made up between the meeting of Bill Clinton and DOJ Lynch at the airplane tarmac. Hillary before FBI investigations was so confident about the results to be favorable to her. I think Comey was an accomplish to the whole maneuver of the results. They are all lawyers, who know how to manipulate issues, and words, in order to escape crimes.
I think the FBI did not do the job right. The best party who could have handled Hillary's crimes must be independent prosecutor, with independence of mental attitude. The outcome could have been different than that of FBI Comey. The words of Comey were specially phrased on ways to avoid and escape Hillary Clinton's crimes. I hope Congressmen Trey Goudy need to review the matter in Congress.

The FIX was in when Lynch announced that, career ATTORNEY'S, were assigned to the investigation.

She never referred to them as PROSECUTORS because they were not, Lynch assigned a DEFENSE team,

made up of only CLINTON SUPPORTERS. Remember, employees of the DOJ contributed more than $75,000.00 to

Hillary's election campaign, Lynch herself contributed the maximum amount, $2,700.00 if I remember correctly.

This Defense team then managed to find ONE law that Hillary did not break, one requiring "Intent",

"Game Forfeited, because the prosecution failed to show".
