    Rules and regulations - gross negligence is when somebody causes bodily harm or property damage because they didn't follow the rules and regulations (that they knew or should of known). Extreme carelessness is basically an act of stupidity. Cheers!

    Money.  If you are a regular person it is gross neligence, if you are rich and powerful and running for President then it is extreme carelessness.

    gross negligence

    n. carelessness in reckless disregard for the safety or lives of others, which is so great it appears to  be aconscious violation of other people's rights to safety. It is more than simple inadvertence, but it is just shy of being intentionally evil. If one has borrowed or contracted to take care of another's property, then gross negligence is the failure to actively take the care one would of his/her own property. If  gross negligence is found by the trier of fact (judge or jury), it can result in the award of punitive damages on top of general and special damages.

    I watched/listened to much of the Congressional grilling of James Comey. I thought he acquitted himself very well. He is a  Republican after all but he was attacked as if he were a Liberal.  I think he did well. Just because the recommendation he passed along from the FBI and himself wasn't to their liking they were quite rude. Now that is not to say they didn't bring up substantive issues. I just think they should have been less snarky and more polite when they did so. Here is the thing I don't get m2c.  As of now Hillary has remained MUM about this finding.  I think that is a huge mistake. The quieter she stays the louder the issue gets. Thank you for your very helpful and thoughtful reply. I appreciate it. This isn't over yet . Maybe it never will be. :(
