Clinton rebuts FBI charge of recklessness | TheHill



“I do not believe that all of the professionals that I dealt with in the State Department were careless in handling classified material,” she added moments later, in a separate interview with Lester Holt on MSNBC.
 
The position is a striking rebuttal of Comey's statements. He twice this week called her behavior “extremely careless,” even while asserting it did not violate the law.
 
“Certainly, she should have known not to send classified information,” Comey testified before the House Oversight Committee on Thursday.
 
“I think she was extremely careless. I think she was negligent. That, I could establish,” he added. “What we can't establish is that she acted with the necessary criminal intent.”
 
In her interviews, Clinton referred to “over 300 people” she communicated with via email, including longtime diplomats and government officials.
 
“I do not believe that they did anything that they believed was in any way inappropriate,” she said on MSNBC. 
 
“Other agencies have said maybe they should have known at the time, but these are professionals ... they were doing the best job they could. They were not careless. The material they sent to me they did not believe was classified.”
