The reason Comey didn't pursue prosecution was because he said he didn't feel it was worth pursuing since it would be hard to prosecute someone based on carelessness rather than intent.
In order to know if she mishandled intel you have to know the content; so it was about both. However, the email scandal was an offshoot of the Benghazi investigation. The purpose of both investigations was a Republican strategy to make Hillary appear unfit for the presidency.
However, if we want to agree the content of the emils doesn't matter, but just the mishandling of intel, then the content of Trump's conversation doesn't matter, either. Just the mishandling of intel.
The reason I asked bfine is because he is portraying this as fake news because no one can cite a compromised secret. However, he couldn't cite a single secret Hillary compromised despite a couple years and a series of investigations. You would call that bias. But, at least bfine is keeping an open mind as he likes to say when he doesn't mean it.
