FBI Director James Comey makes a statement at FBI Headquarters in Washington, Tuesday, July 5, 2016.
This morning, FBI Director James Comey announced he would not recommend prosecuting Hillary Clinton over her handling of emails while Secretary of State. “Our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case,” Comey said.
Some, including Republican candidate Donald Trump, immediately derided the decision, claiming General David Petraeus was indicted for less serious conduct:

The system is rigged. General Petraeus got in trouble for far less. Very very unfair! As usual, bad judgment.

Clinton’s conduct, however, has little in common with Petraeus, who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of mishandling classified information.
Petraeus knowingly provided highly classified information to an unauthorized person.
Petraeus gave Paula Broadwell, his mistress and biographer, his notebooks after telling her they contained “highly classified” information. This conversation was captured on tape by Broadwell and included in the government’s statement of facts:
A few days later he sent Broadwell an email agreeing to provide her the “black books.” The books contained “the identities of covert officers, war strategy, intelligence capabilities, diplomatic discussions, and quotes and deliberative discussions from National Security Council meetings, including discussions with the president of the United States.”
In contrast, Comey concluded that in Clinton’s case there was no “clearly intentional and willfulmishandling of classified information.”
Comey said the way Clinton handled the email was “careless” but that falls well below the legal standard for prosecution under the statute used to convict Petraeus.
Petraeus allegedly lied to the FBI.
In an interview with the FBI, Petraeus allegedly claimed that he only started his relationship with Broadwell after he left the military and never provided her with classified information.
He ultimately was not charged with lying to the FBI, but such a charge could have carried years and jail and likely influenced his decision to plead guilty to a misdemeanor.
Comey, in contrast, made clear he found no evidence that Clinton was attempting to impede the investigation. He found “no intentional misconduct” in the handling of the emails or “an effort to conceal them.”
*****
In the end, Trump and others will claim that Clinton received special treatment. But Comey is a registered Republican who donated to John McCain and Mitt Romney. His decision not to recommend prosecution appears to be rooted in facts, not politics.
This is an opinion shared by the woman who prosecuted David Petraeus.

Clinton Was “Extremely Careless” With Email but Should Not Be Charged, FBI Director Says
By Ben Mathis-Lilley
The FBI believes that Hillary Clinton was "extremely careless" in her use of a private email account while secretary of state but that she should not be prosecuted for it, agency director James Comey announced at a press conference moments ago. The FBI was investigating whether Clinton had mishandled classified material in an intentional or criminally negligent manner when she set up a private account rather than using a State Department email address during her 2009–13 tenure as secretary; its recommendations are now in the hands of Justice Department officials. (Here's a transcript of Comey's remarks.) Attorney general Loretta Lynch said in the wake of her controversial meeting with Bill Clinton last week that she will accept her department's decision on the matter without exerting any influence.
In his statement, Comey said that the FBI's investigation had found 110 emails on Clinton's servers that had contained classified information when they were sent or received, of which eight contained material at the highest classification level of "top secret." Noting that this information was being stored on "unclassified personal servers" less secure even than commercial services like Gmail and that Clinton's use of the private account was widely known, Comey said it was "possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton's personal email account." (There is no "direct evidence" of a hack.) Said Comey: "Any reasonable person should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that kind of information."
While Comey said the FBI had found evidence of "potential violations" of federal law, which allows prosecutions involving negligence, he concluded that "our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case" and that "no charges are appropriate" because of the lack of precedent for prosecutions of such relatively minor violations. Said Comey: "We cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts." The FBI, Comey elaborated, had found no example of a prior prosecution ever having been brought in a classified-information case that did not involve intentional mishandling of material, "vast quantities" of mishandled information, evidence of disloyalty to the United States, or efforts to obstruct justice.
Comey also said that investigators had used forensic analysis to uncover "several thousand" work-related emails that were not among the group Clinton turned over to the State Department for recordkeeping purposes in 2014; however, he said, there is no evidence that those emails were hidden intentionally rather than simply having been deleted in the normal course of business or simply missed when her lawyers were sorting her emails into work and personal files.

This.
Not to mention, the argument that there was no criminal intent is the go to excuse when prosecuting the big banks.
