It's illegal to lie to Federal investigators, regardless of who you are. You can lie to the cops, and maybe piss them off, but lying to FBI is a specific crime. People are prosecuted for it all the time, I'll post if I can think of a good example.
Are you aware that it is a criminal offense to lie to a federal government official? Title 18 of the US Code, Section 1001,
a favorite of federal prosecutors, makes it unlawful to lie to a government agent, even if you: · made the false statement without the obligations of an oath, · didn’t receive warning of the law or its consequences, · were not trying to cheat the government out of money, · or lied about something that was not materially influential to government matters.
The Law Federal law makes it illegal to intentionally make false statements in any matter “within the jurisdiction” of the government. With the ever far-reaching powers of the federal government, much of what you say or lie about can be construed as a lie within government’s jurisdiction.

So if you tell the FBI something, you're legally "under oath"? You don't have to be sworn in?

They didnt use a private server in their basement in violation of government policy or laws. They didnt send classified info like Clinton did. They didn't delete emails. They didn't delete emails in violation of a hold order. They didnt delete emails in violation of a subpoena. They didnt claim they turned over all emails only to find thousands more they didnt. They didnt send SCI material via email. They didnt divert their emails to a server thats not cleared to have any classified material on it.
Finally they didn't continue to lie.
Your comparison is invalid.
I should add here that we found no evidence that any of the additional work-related e-mails were intentionally deleted in an effort to conceal them. Our assessment is that, like many e-mail users, Secretary Clinton periodically deleted e-mails or e-mails were purged from the system when devices were changed. Because she was not using a government account—or even a commercial account like Gmail—there was no archiving at all of her e-mails, so it is not surprising that we discovered e-mails that were not on Secretary Clinton’s system in 2014, when she produced the 30,000 e-mails to the State Department.

If true I don't see how Clinton is going to survive this latest revelation. It would prove she lied to the FBI with regards to classification's used in emails to denote classified info.
