Petraeus prosecutor: Clinton committed no crime
Unlike Petraeus, Clinton did not "knowingly" store or share classified information in violation of the law.
"As the former U.S. attorney for the Western District of North Carolina, I oversaw the prosecution of Gen. Petraeus, and I can say, based on the known facts, this comparison has no merit. The key element that distinguishes Secretary Clinton’s email retention practices from Petraeus’ sharing of classified information is that Petraeus knowingly engaged in unlawful conduct, and that was the basis of his criminal liability."

Importantly, Petraeus was well aware of the classified contents in his journals, saying to his biographer, Paula Broadwell on tape, “I mean, they are highly classified, some of them. They don’t have it on it, but I mean there’s code word stuff in there.”
When questioned by the FBI, Petraeus lied to agents in responding that he had neither improperly stored nor improperly provided classified information to his biographer. As Mukasey also highlighted, the key element is that Petraeus’ conduct was done “knowingly.” That is, when he stored his journals containing “highly classified” information at his home, he did so knowingly. Petraeus knew at that time that there was classified information in the journals, and he knew they were stored improperly.
In sharp contrast, Clinton is not being investigated for knowingly sending or receiving classified materials improperly."
So, if i read the following quote properly, he isn't saying she did nothing wrong, she just didn't know she was doing something wrong. Which I always thought that ignorance of the law was never an excuse. Especially in cases of national security.

You will of course say unwillingly ....................Excuses are like what....................
First words: "Whoever knowingly and willfully communicates..."
These emails as you know were not classified at the time. No knowingly and willfully.
I know you hate how the law is written, and you have to make an excuse for why she didn't violate it.
