It matters in that Clinton mishandled classified documents.  The law does not say anything intent.  It was not Comey's job to decide whether or not to prosecute.  And it wasn't his job to change the law.  I'm not a Trump supporter but I am still peeved on how someone can grossly &  negligently mishandle classified documents and get away with it.  If I or anyone I had worked with, we would be serving time.
