F.B.I. Director James Comey Recommends No Charges for Hillary Clinton on Email

FBI不建議就“郵件門”起訴希拉里

WASHINGTON — The FBI director, James B. Comey, said Tuesday that the bureau would not recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton for her handling of classified information while she was secretary of state, lifting an enormous legal cloud from her presidential campaign less than two hours before she boarded Air Force One for her first joint campaign appearance with President Barack Obama.

華盛頓——聯邦調查局(FBI)局長詹姆斯·B·科米(James B. Comey)週二表示，聯邦調查局不建議因希拉里·克林頓(Hillary Clinton)在擔任國務卿期間處理機密信息的方式對其提出刑事指控。這一表態爲克林頓的總統競選撥開了一片巨大的法律烏雲。不到兩小時後，她便登上空軍一號，準備同貝拉克·奧巴馬總統進行首次聯合競選亮相。

But in an extraordinary day of political drama in Washington, Comey rebuked Clinton as being “extremely careless” in using a personal email address for sensitive communications.

但在華盛頓，這是非同尋常的一天，充滿政治戲劇色彩。科米指責克林頓用個人電子郵箱收發敏感信息的行爲“極其大意”。

To warrant a criminal charge, Comey said, there had to be evidence that Clinton intentionally transmitted or willfully mishandled classified information. The FBI found neither, and as a result, he said, “our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.”

科米表示，要證明有必要提起刑事指控，須有證據表明克林頓故意傳送或不當處理機密信息。他說，FBI並未發現這兩種情況，因此，“我們認爲，明智的檢察官不會提起這樣的訴訟。”

Comey was more forthcoming and sterner than he usually is in public appearances, laying out several previously undisclosed findings from the FBI’s investigation:

科米比平時在公開場合現身時更主動，也更嚴厲，提到了FBI之前未公開的幾項調查結果：

■ Of 30,000 emails Clinton handed over to the State Department, 110 contained information that was classified at the time she sent or received them. Of those, Comey said, “a very small number” were marked as classified. This finding contradicts Clinton’s repeated assertions that none of the emails were classified at the time Clinton saw them.

■ 在克林頓移交給國務院的三萬封電子郵件中，有110封郵件中的信息在她發出或收到時屬於機密。科米表示，在這些郵件中，被標記爲機密的郵件“數量非常小”。這一結果反駁了克林頓反覆強調的說法，即她看到那些郵件時，沒有一封屬於機密。

■ The FBI discovered “several thousand” work-related emails that were not in the original trove of 30,000 turned over by Clinton to the State Department. Three of those contained information that agencies have concluded was classified, though Comey said he did not believe Clinton deliberately deleted or withheld them from investigators.

■ FBI發現了“幾千封”和工作有關的電子郵件，它們未在克林頓最初交給國務院的那三萬封電子郵件之內。其中三封郵件中的信息被相關機構斷定屬於機密，不過科米表示，他不認爲克林頓是故意刪除或向調查人員隱瞞那些郵件。

■ It is “possible,” Comey said, that hostile foreign governments may have gained access to Clinton’s personal account. He noted that she used her mobile device extensively while traveling outside the United States, including trips “in the territory of sophisticated adversaries.”

■ 科米稱，敵對外國政府“有可能”進入了克林頓的個人賬戶。他指出，克林頓在國外時大量使用移動設備，包括在“技術精良的敵對國的領地”。

■ Clinton used multiple private servers for her personal and government business, not just a single server at her home in New York that has been the focus of news reports for more than a year.

■ 在紐約的家中，克林頓處理個人和政府事務時使用了多臺，而不僅僅是一臺私人服務器。這一年多來，克林頓位於紐約家中的那一臺服務器一直是新聞報道關注的焦點。
