Hillary Clinton should not face charges in connection to her use of a private email server, FBI Director James Comey announced Tuesday. The announcement means the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee won't face prosecution from the Justice Department for mishandling classified information while she was Secretary of State.

Comey said there is no indication Clinton intended to break the law but did criticize what he called the "extremely careless" handling of classified information.

Attorney Gen. Loretta Lynch earlier said she would follow FBI guidance on whether Clinton would face charges.

The announcement set off a wave of protest, with one of the harshest coming from Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby.

"Director Comey noted multiple infractions and patterns of violation of the laws and policies guiding national security information. The Obama Justice Department has pursued charges against reporters, mid-level employees, and members of the military when confronted with the mishandling of classified information. As you review the evidence, I expect you to hold Secretary Clinton to the same standard," Shelby wrote in a letter to Lynch.

We want to hear from you. Do you agree with Comey's decision? Will it have any impact on who you are supporting in the 2016 presidential race?
