Al,
I think Comey laid out a pretty good rationale in congressional testimony for why it was not prosecutable...
And I already gave you the counterargument. He's using "intent" as a rationale not to prosecute, but I already pointed out that intent is irrelevant when it comes to gross negligence.

Unfortunately, I didn't save any links from "non-right-wing" media sources which disputed Comey's reasoning, and stuff like that is kind of tricky to Google since there aren't any unique keywords that can narrow down the search.

But this poll says a lot. 56% vs. 35%:

Poll: Majority disagree with not charging Hillary Clinton

Meanwhile, there is a Marine who is going to employ the #hillarypass in his defense against charges that he disseminated classified info:

Marine’s defense for disseminating classified information will cite Hillary Clinton’s case

Any way you slice it, the decision not to prosecute Hillary came down to sheer politics. Comey just didn't want to rock the boat. Keep the status quo, business as usual, to heck with the "little peeple"
