United States federal law is clear on the issue of handling sensitive information such as government secrets; "Executive Order 13526 and 18 U.S.C Sec. 793(f) of the federal code make it unlawful to send or store classified information on personal email" [1,2]. Hillary Clinton violated federal law when she stored and/or transmitted classified and up-classified information through her private email server(s). However, the FBI is not recommending charges to the Department of Justice. This is a clear error in prosecution and history shows that putting political goals in front of the law does not end well. Laws are not selective, this case is no different.
