You can't take such a position and expect to be taken seriously. She lied to the FBI and destroyed evidence after said evidence was requested. What her intent was is irrelevant, and is not something for the FBI to determine the scope of that intent. Comey as much as admitted that the top reason he brought no charges is because he felt uncomfortable doing so during an election campaign. In essence he decided to err on the side of leniency simply because it was campaign season. I would argue, and I think most people who actually care about the electoral process would expect the legal standards to be higher not lower under such circumstances.
