Hillary Clinton may haveavoided thelegal consequences of her email scandal, but that isn't stopping others from condemning her actions.

Clinton has repeatedly said she neversent classifiedemailsfrom her server or phone.The FBI publicly discredited that claim today, saying theyfound more than 100 emails that were classifiedin multiple email chains.

Despite those findings, Comey said,"We cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges."
