extreme carelessness which director comey said clinton and her team did, sound like gross negligence. but historically prosecutors have required something more to bring charges. something like, intentional or deliberate mishandling of classified information. that's what we saw in the case of former cia director, david petraeus. he pleaded guilty after admitting that he had given his biographer, who was also his girlfriend, eight binders of highly classified information. he knew it was classified. he told her it was. that is the kind of level of intent. and knowledge that we have seen in these past cases. >> john dickerson, sound like a win and loss at the same time for mrs. clinton. what's the political fallout likely to be? >> well the clinton campaign says the matter is resolved, maurice. the fbi director undermined a lot of what hillary clinton said about her private server during the campaign. she said she didn't send e-mail that were classified as jan mentioned. director said that wasn't so.
