I have to be honest here, no one gives a damn about the email thing. It is obvious that she is not the most tech savvy person. And that okay because the moral of the story is that government officials now know the importance of email even if they thought it was safe. Extra attention will go to make sure people are adequately trained.. And moving the hell on...

But seriously, no one wants someone to go to jail over emails. 

Umm... The "Hillary is just a dumb blonde" defence kind of falls apart given the fact she was specifically advised by experts (i.e. "trained") to use more standard secure procedures, but refused to, multiple times migrating to new non-secure private servers, deleting evidence along the way. You have seen the mid-90s video of her and Stan Lee at some fundraiser? , her outright saying how "she would be stupid to use email because of how often she has been investigated", i.e. specifically showing understanding of the issue and motive to avoid accountability/ investigability, i.e. compliance with law. She's a corporate lawyer, she understands the issue just fine after counseling on the topic by experts and other bureacrats concerned on the subject.

Are you kidding?  Plenty of people HAVE been convicted for exactly the same charge that the FBI de facto admits Hillary committed,
as even without intent proven, "negligence" is still grounds for felony charges... In one case Bill Clinton pardoned his CIA director for mishandling
secrets after refusing advice to ensure compliance with security protocols via his personal computer. (being pardoned implies guilt).
 The FBI specifically go out of there way to emphasize that "given same circumstances with somebody else, don't expect you can get away with it, we just aren't charging Hillary".  The FBI clearly is stating that other people will go to jail for exactly the same thing.  But elite political dynamics over-ride neutral application of the law.
