Comey called Clinton's use of private email and the State Department's handling of classified information "extremely careless," but he still advised against prosecuting Clinton.
Spicer told CNN in an interview after his tweet that any other staffer at the State Department would have been charged . "Any other employee that works at the State Department that did what she did would have their security clearance pulled and would be facing charges," Spicer said. “This is absolutely ridiculous.”
"If she followed the law like everybody else and used a State Department account or used even a private system like the director pointed out like Gmail, this wouldn't be a problem," Spicer said. "She chose to set up a system for herself around the rules that were established for everybody else for a reason, and that reason is because she didn't want people to know what she was doing."

Axelrod: 'Fair Game' For GOP To Use FBI Comments To 'Question' Clinton
David Axelrod, a former senior adviser to President Obama, on Tuesday said that it's fair for Republicans to use FBI Director James Comey's comment that Hillary Clinton was "careless" with classified information against the former secretary of state during the presidential campaign.
"It is fair game for Republicans to question Hillary Clinton based on the words of the FBI director," Axelrod said on CNN shortly after Comey announced that the FBI does not recommend bringing charges against Clinton.
Axelrod noted that Republican National Committee spokesman Sean Spicer focused on what the FBI's findings show about Clinton's judgement.
"Sean Spicer took the words of the FBI director and used them as you would expect the opposition to use them and honed in on what Comey called the carelessness and recklessness and so on. That's to be expected," Axelrod said.

Ex-DOJ Spox: Comey Broke Rules With 'Outrageous' Presser On Clinton Emails
A former Justice Department spokesman under former Attorney General Eric Holder called FBI Director James Comey's press conference announcing he would not recommend charges against Hillary Clinton over her email servers "absolutely outrageous."
In a series of posts on Twitter, Matthew Miller said the FBI and DOJ are "supposed to speak in court," not press conferences.

@matthewamiller
Absolutely outrageous presser by Comey. DOJ/FBI is supposed to speak in court. If it won't make statements in court, it shouldn't make them.

Miller also tweeted the presser was symptomatic of Clinton yet again getting "worse treatment than anyone else would."
He also suggested that Comey's announcement violated DOJ rules about disclosing information about ongoing investigations.

Time to see the wave of paranoid GOP unreasonableness.....starting with these assholes......
When I said this to a Trump supporter who cited "Crooked Hillary's" emails, he said he didn't think much of Bush. Way to get out of his irrational thinking.
And he took the unprecedented step of injecting his personal opinion (to carry water for the GOP).
Here is the reality I see:
- she is not an IT expert; all she knew is that she needed secure, accessible email
- the state department did not offer the above
- she can't say it, but the state department funding is abysmal, which accounts for why they still had an email system that was not particularly secure or accessible outside the actual state department - pathetic, but that is reality
- the State department sever was definitely hacked; despite Comey's completely inappropriate speculation, there is absolutely no indication that her server was hacked
- as usual nobody (including Comey) seems to give a shit that Powell and Rice did the same thing. For some odd reason 
he did not have an opinion about their actions, just Clinton's
Sorry, Sean, but you set yourself up for that one!
