There were a lot of problems with Hillary’s email server. The major criminal liability was the fact that classified information had been sent and received in many of those emails, though Comey ultimately decided that this was not intentional on Hillary’s part.
There was also concerns about security and email retention. The retention issues were kind of funny; the official sequence of events was:
1. Hillary’s chief of staff and lawyers go through her emails and send all the work related ones to the State Department for archiving.
2. Hillary’s chief of staff then asks PRN (the company managing the server) to set a 60 day retention policy.
3. Months pass.
4. The server comes to public attention, and a Congressional committee investigating the Benghazi fiasco subpoenas Hillary’s emails.
5. The guy at PRN realizes he never actually turned on the retention policy so he panics and starts deleting emails with BleachBit.
