To that blockbuster decision from the fbi after a yearlong investigation james comey decides not to recommend charges against Hillary Clinton but blasts her for reckless handling of classified information on her private email server. Abcs senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas brings us the latest from washington. Good morning, pierre. Reporter good morning, george. In one of the most dramatic moments of 20 years of covering the fbi, the fbi director took center stage, no one knowing what he decided with the power to affect the outcome of the 2016 president ial election. The decision about the clinton email investigation so sensitive and critical to the president ial race, fbi director james comey kept the white house and his boss, the attorney general in the dark. They do not know what im about to say. Reporter in a dramatic hastily arranged press conference he announced the results of thousands of hours of fbi investigation. Our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. Reporter but despite that recommendation the fbi director gave a blistering assessment of clintons decision to use private email to conduct government business. There is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive highly classified information. Reporter former secretary clinton has maintained that she never sent or received emails that were marked classified but tuesday comey said the investigation found 110 emails that contained classified information at the time they were sent and received. And whether they were marked classified when she received them or not comey hammered clinton for leaving government emails vulnerable to enemies. Any reasonable person in secretary clintons position or in the position of those with whom she was corresponding about those matters should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation. Reporter still, comey said the investigation failed to meet a critical legal standard. According to comey there was no evidence of for. Clearly infenceal and willful mishandling or vast quantity, indications of disloyalty to the United States or efforts obstruct justice. We do net see those things here. Reporter bottom line, clinton aides may have been careless but comey could not make the case that their behavior was criminal. Meantime, pierre, this technically this report from the fbi director is just a recommendation to the Justice Department but effectively this is over, right. Reporter we expect the career prosecutors will agree with comey that charges arent warranted so the likelihood of a criminal case against her is effectively over. Pierre thomas, thanks very much. George, the fbi report getting major reaction on both sides of the aisle as president obama joins Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail for the first time. Abcs cecilia vega is in charlotte, North Carolina, with the latest. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter robin, good morning to you. The reactions on this one could not be more different for Hillary Clinton and her campaign. There is a sense of relief this morning, but for the republicans led by donald trump, they see a rigged system and say Hillary Clinton lied. Just hours after the fbi slammed Hillary Clinton for her email use she was on air force one with president obama all smiles as they hit the campaign trail in North Carolina. I am with her. All im with her. Im with her. Reporter clinton getting a commanding boost of confidence from the commander in chief. He knows a thing or two about winning elections. Take it from me. [ cheers and applause ] reporter and it could not have come at a better time. Im ready to pass the baton. [ cheers and applause ] and i know that Hillary Clinton is going to take it. And i know she can run that race. Reporter two former rivals now a united front. Everybody can tweet but nobody actually knows what it take s to do the job until you sit behind the desk. Reporter no mention of that fbi investigation. Clintons team saying in a statement we are glad this matter is resolved and that it was a mistake to use her personal email and she would not do it again but her opponents not about to let it go from House Speaker paul ryan. This certainly does underscore that she believes shes above the law. Reporter to Donald Trump Holding his own rival North Carolina rally. We now know that she lied to the country when she said she did not send classified information on her server. She lied. Reporter going after clinton and the system. Today is the best evidence ever that weve seen that our system is absolutely totally rigged. Its rigged. Reporter and sources tell me this fbi news came as a complete surprise to the Clinton Campaign that they watched it unfold on television along with everyone else. Were also told that the president and Hillary Clinton did not discuss the fbi investigation during that air force one ride here to North Carolina, george. Were told they talked about grandchildren. Very deliberately no doubt. Thanks very much. More on the law and politics with our chief legal analyst dan abrams and our political analyst matthew dowd and lets begin with the law, dan, that standard that the fbi director said, no reasonable prosecutor would bring charges. He seems to be suggesting legally this wasnt a close call. So on the one hand i think for a long time the clinton supporters have been minimizing the significance of what happened here and i think james comey made that quite clear in laying out a sort of moral indictment. Scathing. Of Hillary Clinton. She broke rules. She violated norms. But that is not necessarily criminal. And then he laid out at the end the criminal standard. Were talking about espionage law here. People are saying, well, gross negligence. Thats the espionage act and basically what james comey is saying is you want to prosecute someone under this misdemeanor or this felony of the espionage act, you need a level of intentional willful conduct that simply didnt exist here. Matthew dowd, politically this was tough stuff from james comey and seems to hit secretary clinton on three front, competence, protecting National Security and the big one, honesty which is what youve already got the rnc putting out videos this morning hitting the five big lies they say james comey exposed. Well, i think its really tough stuff. She survived a potential fatal blow which means she still stays in the race but was basically told by the fbi director shes not guilty of a crime but shes not innocent of wrongdoing and to me it reminds me a lot of tom brady the he survives to play the game still but his reputation has been sullied. In this case its almost the best of circumstances for the gop and the rnc which means she continues to run. She doesnt suffer a fatal blow in the course of this so nobody else is substituted in the race but she is damaged, i think, by what the fbi director did. What about you hear a lot of clinton allies suggesting that five months from now on election day, the only thing people will remember is that she wasnt charged. I dont agree with that. I think what it is, it adds to the story on the story is can we trust Hillary Clinton in the course of this . I think shes still favored i think to win the race and still favored after this to win the race but she is damaged in this and that will survive. Youve got the suggestion from the speaker of the house, paul ryan that she shouldnt get these Intelligence Briefings over the rest of the campaign. As a practical matter wont happen. Not practical and i think well expect to see this move now into the political realm out of the league. Thanks very much. Back to robin. Now to a big headline overseas. The vatican saying pope francis has met with the parents of that American College student whose body was found in romes tiber river. Abcs lama hasan is in rome now with those details. Good morning, lama. Reporter good morning to you, robin. Yes, it was a remarkable moment overnight. Pope Francis Holding a private meeting at the vatican with both solomons parents this as we learn new details about the Murder Investigation right here in rome. This morning, the vatican confirming pope francis had a private meeting with the parents of beau solomon murdered this week while studying abroad in rome. In a statement the pope expressed his deepest sympathy and compassion and his closeness in prayer to the lord for the young man who died so tragically. Right now italian investigators are piecing together the mysterious death of solomon. Police arresting a homeless man, massimo galioto, suspected of aggravated homicide after the 19yearolds body was pulled from this river. The american came this way, she said. One could see he was upset. According to italian tv this woman was living in a tent with the suspect and says she watched the scuffle unfold. [ speaking a Foreign Language ] they were pushing each other, she said. The boy pushed back and then it ended badly. Solomon was a cancer survivor major in personal finance at the university of wisconsin madison, his life cut short just a day after he arrived for his Exchange Program at john cabot university. So hard to hear about your best friend. Didnt really even get a chance to say goodbye to him. Reporter well, this morning Italian Police confirming to abc news massimo galioto, the homeless man suspected of murdering beau solomon is expected to appear in court later today. George. Okay, lama, thanks very much. Also overseas breaking news in the Oscar Pistorius case, the olympian sentenced to six years in prison for killing his girlfriend on valentines day, 2013. Abcs Alex Marquardt is in london with the late et. Good morning, alex. Reporter good morning. Pistorius has now already been taken to prison directly from that courtroom. This sixyear sentence is pretty surprising given that its less than half of the maximum of 15 years for murder which is what the prosecution had asked for. Pistorius was stonefaced as it was handed down, none of the tears weve seen from him throughout the three years in court. The judge said there were substantial and compelling reasons to not give the maximum sentence including his genuine remorse. Pistorius might not even serve the full six years. Hes able to apply for parole after half his sentence and could be out in three years. Alex marquardt, thanks. To amy with the other top stories. Could be good news. Security lines at the airport may be speeding up soon. The tsa will soon test c. T. Scanners to inspect carryon luggage and human screeners wont have to look at screenings of every single bag.

That is the single deadliest attack claimed by isis worldwide. The interior minister says he is resigning because of a lack of coordination among security forces. And some new safety concerns surround the socalled selfdriving cars made by tesla. A driver claims his car was in autopilot mode when it rolled over in pennsylvania friday. You may remember that a driver of a tesla model s on autopilot was killed in a crash in florida. It uses radar to steer and match speeds. A rare sight off cape cod, a fishing boat captain snapped this photo of a 30foot killer whale. Experts say they cannot recall ever seeing an orca so close to the new england coast. And in sports a clean sweep for the chicago cubs. Their entire infield has been selected to tart in next weeks allstar game. Matching the record held by the 19634 cardinal, a total of seven cubs have been chosen as allstars this year. Finally, well, being honest pays off. Someone left 187,000 in cash in the backseat of a boston taxi but veteran cab driver buzzy maccausland said he never considered keeping a dollar of it and turned it over to police and found the owner apparently living in a homeless shelter. Just got all that cash from an inheritance. He gave buzzi 100 bucks for his honesty. You know what he should do with that 100 bucks, play the lottery. Pushing his luck. Why not . You know what, honesty does pay off. Speaking of lotly so does the Mega Millions climbing to over half a billion dollars and abcs t. J.
