knowing that some of the information she received might be classified, constitutes gross negligence
No it doesn't. Gross negligence is a different standard. Go read up on it. Wiki has some good starting points. Cornell has good archives and a fully functional search feature.
However, somehow that does not qualify as "gross negligence" under 18 USC 793.
See above.
He did not explain how that could be the case
He did address it indirectly if you paid attention. He referenced a case that had gross negligence. http://www.politico.com/blogs/under-the-radar/2016/07/heres-the-other-gross-negligence-case-comey-cited-in-clinton-email-testimony-225266

If you know anything about cybersecurity, then you know that having any classified material on an unprotected server constitutes gross negligence. To me, these two cases are very similar. Having that material on an unprotected server is the same as leaving those documents out in an unprotected room.
edit: and btw, murder does require intent. Without intent, the charge is manslaughter.
