You were there! ! ! !i'm not sure what legislation you refer.
But the espionage act 18 usc 793(f) says anyone authorized to handle secrets who “through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody … shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both"
In practice, however, law enforcement officials have set a high bar for prosecuting violations of those laws, looking for clear criminal intent. Since Hillary cooperated, there was no such intent.
