Reckless handling of classified material does not require 'malicious intent'
Washington Post:
US officials: Scant evidence, so far, that Clinton had malicious intent in handling of emails
Prosecutors and FBI agents investigating Hillary Clinton's use of a personal email server have so far found scant evidence that the leading Democratic presidential candidate intended to break classification rules, though they are still probing the case ...Malicious intent is a misleading element in a case where the charge is recklessness. Suppose you had classified documents that were supposed to be kept in a safe and you left for the day leaving the safe unlocked. That could be considered recklessness, and placing material on an unsecured server certainly falls into that category.
