If she were in the military, it would certainly have been different. If I did something like that while I was on active duty, the best I could hope for would be that my security clearance would be revoked and I would be administratively discharged. At worst, I would be charged under the UCMJ.
But she wasn't in the military and, as the Director pointed out, there is a different set of rules. As Libertarian nominee William Weld pointed out, a prosecutor would find it difficult proving criminal intent. She SHOULD have known that what she was doing was wrong, but there is no way to prove it.
The DOJ could still bring a misdemeanor charge against her, but a misdemeanor conviction would not legally prevent her from running for president.
Onward and upward,
