Re: Espionage Act

Clinton's personal server for State Department email correspondence violated federal law, government-wide regulations, and State Department instructions, none of that having anything to do with the espionage act. Those federal laws and standards did not apply to Mike Pence during his service as governor of Indiana, and by all reports I have seen, including this one, he complied with the applicable Indiana laws.

As far as whether Clinton's actions were damaging, in view of reports of the fundamental vulnerability of clintonemail.com, including in The Register, along with secure erasure of the servers' disks and destruction of all backups before the servers were examined by government forensic specialists, the only safe and reasonable conclusion is that everything on the server came into possession of at least one foreign intelligence service. That no evidence was found (if true) is of no consequence.
