Fool, the first sentence of that particular law deals with the intent issue.
Whoever, for the purpose of obtaining information respecting the national defense with intent or reason to believe that the information is to be used to the injury of the United States
There is absolutely no evidence HRC had intent or reason to believe that the information would be used to injure the United States.

18 USC 793(f)
Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information, relating to the national defense, (1) through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, or (2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer—
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.
Think General Petraus, counselor. I'll think about him, and a Navy Lieutenant Commander I know who lost his commission and his security clearance, and was fined because a SUBORDINATE left a safeguarded drawer containing CONFIDENTIAL(not even SECRET, or TOP SECRET and above)material open overnight. The subordinate lost his security clearence, which under certain circumstances is a career ender. But ask either of these three if they were treated unjustly and they would say no. I know this for a FACT, because I understand that they violated a law, and for some people, violating a law has consequences. I also know that none of these men had any INTENTION to do harm to the U.S. Now, if this is your idea of the best person for the job of POTUS, someone who is UNQUALIFIED to hold even the lowest security clearance, you go ahead and vote for her lying ass, because stupidity isn't a crime, but there are consequences for it. And take your "intent" and shove it.
