Watching Comey's announcement from yesterday again, it seems like while Clinton wasn't recommended indictment by the FBI, Comey outlined plenty of evidence of the "wrongs" surrounding the server. The FBI report basically tore her a new one by decimating her email claims to the people and press (meaning she lied) and calling her and her staff careless and incompetent.

My questions are; does this have any effect on Hillary's integrity as a candidate? And are the emails still relevant despite the non-indictment?

("but trump tho" shouldn't be an answer.)

Hillary Haters gonna hate.
Hillary Lovers gonna love and reply "but Trump though."

My guess is the vast majority of those in between won't care too much about these details but will just note that she hasn't been charged with any crime.  

Those in between who are older will likely note that both Clintons have been involved in many cases of shady behavior but neither have been charged with anything except for Bill Clinton being impeached (but not convicted) for perjury in a situation where the majority of the American public were more unhappy that the Republicans were clearly playing politics with the whole situation than with anything Bill Clinton got up to.

How those people who do take note beyond that she wasn't charged with anything but are concerned with the obvious fairly frequent questionable ethical conduct of Bill and Hillary Clinton I can't say, but my guess would be most will say "But Trump though."

Yes.

I will be satisfied when I receive a full narrative from Clinton and her IT staff disclosing her justification for deciding to maintain a private email server, how she used it to conduct her work and personal business, and security precautions they took.

Until then, I regard her as having put sensitive state data at risk in a reckless manner by using rogue channels of electronic communication, for God-only-knows what reason, in a way that had the potential of being untraceable and unaccountable to the American people.

Except for the claim which she set up her email system because she only needed to carry one, Comey's contradictions of Clinton's statements all stem from the fact that, among over 30,000 emails, there were a small percentage that fell outside the norm, that her statements accurately characterized. It's like Clinton saying, "Everything in the documents are spelled correctly" after checking them for spelling and then Comey coming through and finding spelling errors. Her broad characterizations of 99.6% of the emails were accurate.

The FBI investigation found the work related emails that weren't turned over were not were not willfully omitted, so no, she was telling the truth to the best of her knowledge.

You'll never get the honest answer. She wanted to structure things to avoid public scrutiny. Not to mention the investigation that is still ongoing over influence peddling and the Clinton Foundation.
