I spent 4+ hours watching the CSPAN coverage of the
congressional hearing with FBI director James Comey explaining his decision
about Clinton's email. He was resolute in defending his
decision, based on lack of evidence of willful intent or massive amounts
of classified information being mishandled, or obstruction of justice. So she's free of any
legal problem. He said, quite clearly, that he did not think she broke
the law.
But Comey gave the Republicans plenty of material to use politically,
saying that she was extremely careless, that she had potentially
jeopardized national security (although there is no evidence that actually
happened), and that several things she has said publicly about it are
not true.
So, yes, the political theater will continue. The Democrats can point
to "she did not break the law" and the Republicans will say "she lied"
and "was extremely careless with national security data." It's going to hurt. But Donald Trump will probably come to the rescue
and do something to grab the news cycle and overshadow even this.
