To my mind, the judgments that Comey represents in his report simply aren't believable ("there was no intent"). The Patraeus prosecution is a good example of a case that was very similar in many respects.

Also, technically, in cases of gross negligence (which is surely applicable in this case), intent doesn't matter to the law. It's still criminal. It might have different penalties attached, but it's still criminal.
