"Kim had a reason to believe that this information could be used to the injury of the United States and to the advantage of a foreign nation"
There was a TS picture of NK on there. Huma Abadeen had access to her device (someone who was born in the USA, but raised in Saudi Arabia) as evidenced by signatures on some emails "from" Hillary. And even if there wasn't that, they should have the ability to prosecute her for all of the false statements made during the investigation (which would be under a completely different statute).
For all the worry about foreign powers influencing the USA, it's undeniable that she and Colin Powell schemed in such a way that jeopardized OPSEC. That will remain an issue as long as people can get away with it.

Why mention that she was raised in Saudi Arabia? She is a US citizen who obtained security clearance in 2009, during which the FBI would have thoroughly checked her background. Before you go even further off the reservation, she doesn't have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood either. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/...
Let's look at the Kim case because the indictment so clearly draws out the difference with the Clinton case. From the indictment:
"The indictment charges that
Kim had a reason to believe that this information could be used to the injury of the United States
and to the advantage of a foreign nation and that Kim knowingly and willfully communicated,
delivered or transmitted that information to a reporter for a national news organization, who was
not entitled to receive that information."
It continues:
"Count Two of the indictment charges that on or about September 24, 2009, Kim denied to
agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation that he had had any contact with a named reporter
for a national news organization since meeting the reporter in or about March 2009. The
indictment alleges that Kim actually had repeated contact with the reporter in the months
following the March 2009 meeting. The indictment charges that Kim knowingly and willfully made a materially false, fictitious, and fraudulent statement and representation to the FBI in
violation of I8 U.S.C. § IOOI(a)(2)."
Kim knew that giving the national security information to a reporter would get that information seen by a foreign nation to its benefit (violation of the Espionage Act). Then he lied about it to the FBI (violation of I8 U.S.C. § IOOI(a)(2)). Clinton did neither.
> Why mention that she was raised in Saudi Arabia?
Because it shows how easily the information could escape the US to other countries, even inadvertently. I haven't claimed anything regarding the Muslim Brotherhood, nor was I aware it had been claimed regarding her.

That North Korean photo we're talking about was discussed with one of her press guys and none of these people who accessed this were cleared for TS information other than Hillary herself. Huma was found emailing Wiener from Hillary's device in at least one case (probably how his laptop got roped into that).
> Gowdy discusses quite a few such statements with Comey here:
Again, none of those statements were made to the investigators or under oath.
> Because it shows how easily the information could escape the US to other countries, even inadvertently.
Again, that is the FBI's job to determine when doing the security clearance background check.

What North Korean photo are we talking about? This is the first time you've mentioned it. I suspect you are talking about http://www.wptv.com/news/political/clinton-email-on-north-ko..., which was neither Top Secret nor sent to a news reporter. If it wasn't sent to a news reporter, why do you think this email is anything at all like Kim's case?
"The rumor was not that ODNI had completed the review and determined only one was not TS and the other was, but rather that they had only reached a definitive conclusion on the one (we think the North Korea email that supposedly relied on satellite imagery) and were still deciding on the other."
