James Comey: We Didn’t Have Any Indication Abedin Had a Sense What She Was Doing Was in Violation of Law

EXCERPT:

COMEY: “With respect to Miss Abedin in particular we didn’t have any indication she had had a sense what she was doing was in violation of the law. Couldn’t prove any sort of criminal intent. Really, the central problem we have with the whole e-mail investigation was proving that people knew, the secretary and others knew they — that they were communicating about classified information in a way that they shouldn’t be and proving that they had some sense that they were doing something unlawful. That was our burden. And we weren’t able to meet it.”
