While FBI Director James Comey may have decided not to recommend indicting Hillary Clinton, he did prove conclusively on Tuesday that she did indeed violate the law and lied publicly and repeatedly about doing so. Here are the most shameful lies Comey’s press conference exposed:

Lie #1
Clinton claimed she set up her private server out of a matter of convenience so she could use just one mobile device. She wanted to have all of her communications streamlined, so she decided to forego her official State Department account in order to use her own personal system.

TRUTH: Not only did Clinton use more than one mobile device — she also used more than one email server. “I have so far used the singular term, ’email server,’ in describing the referral that began our investigation,” Comey said. “It turns out to have been more complicated than that. Secretary Clinton used several different servers and administrators of those servers during her four years at the State Department, and used numerous mobile devices to view and send email on that personal domain.”

Lie #2
“I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email,” Clinton originally said in March 2015. “There isn’t classified material. I’m certainly well aware of the classification requirements, and did not send classified material.”

TRUTH: Clinton emailed classified material repeatedly. “From the group of 30,000 emails returned to the State Department, 110 emails in 52 email chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received,” Comey said. “Eight of those chains contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; 36 chains contained Secret information at the time; and eight contained Confidential information, which is the lowest level of classification.”

Lie #3
Clinton’s home-brew private email server was permitted under State Department policy at the time it was set up.

TRUTH: Comey put to rest any claims that Clinton’s private server was kosher. “None of these emails should have been on any kind of unclassified system,” he said. “Their presence is especially concerning because all of these emails were housed on unclassified personal servers not even supported by full-time security staff, like those found at departments and agencies of the U.S. Government — or even with a commercial service like Gmail.”

Lie #4
Obama’s State Department cooperated fully with the investigation, handing over every email the FBI requested.

TRUTH: The State Department did not hand over every requested email, and some of the ones they didn’t produce contained classified information. “The FBI also discovered several thousand work-related emails that were not in the group of 30,000 that were returned by Secretary Clinton to State in 2014. We found those additional emails in a variety of ways. Some had been deleted over the years and we found traces of them on devices that supported or were connected to the private email domain,” Comey confirmed.

Lie #5:
Clinton’s email server didn’t put national security at risk. Even President Obama has supported this lie, telling Fox News in April that “Hillary Clinton was an outstanding secretary of state. She would never intentionally put America in any kind of jeopardy.”

TRUTH: Comey confirmed on Tuesday that Clinton did indeed put America in jeopardy. “We do assess that hostile actors gained access to the private commercial email accounts of people with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact from her personal account,” Comey said. “We also assess that Secretary Clinton’s use of a personal email domain was both known by a large number of people and readily apparent. She also used her personal email extensively while outside the United States, including sending and receiving work-related emails in the territory of sophisticated adversaries. Given that combination of factors, we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton’s personal email account.”

Hillary may have escaped having to explain her actions to a federal judge, but she will still have to explain her litany of lies to the American people.
