James Comey’s error?

FBI Director James Comey erred when he chastised Hillary Clinton for, in his opinion, recklessly using a private server to conduct State Department business.

Given the fact that an ever-growing list of government agencies have been hacked, mostly by the Chinese, including the CIA, State Department, NOAA, USPS, the U.S. Coast Guard as well as the White House, who is to say that the Clinton server was any less secure than the government’s server? It may have been more secure.

There is no evidence that Clinton’s emails were compromised. Comey should have announced his decision and let it go at that instead of getting into the partisan muck.
