FBI Director James Comey’s announcement Tuesday that he would not recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton for her “extremely careless” handling of classified information rankled Republicans who were hoping the Justice Department would indict the presumptive Democratic nominee.

“Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case,” Comey said of his decision not to recommend an indictment to prosecutors at the Justice Department.
