I agree with you, but I think she needs to be indicted if the e-mails prove her to be culpable. Ideally she will win the election, and if the e-mails prove damning she will be indicted and hopefully impeached and forced to resign, leaving Tim Kaine to finish off her term, which IMO would be the best case scenario for the country.

That's pretty presumptive. The last FBI investigation into her emails went a year and found nothing. Given that she's been running for president the last decade or two and republicans will pounce on her over any little misstep, do you really think she'd intentionally do something that could ruin her chances of winning or staying president? Remember that intention is important in law...

Incorrect, they found no one who was "willing to prosecute"

So they found effectively nothing, which is all they'll find here.

Or nobody was willing to commit political suicide and bring her to justice.

I'm sure there are thousands of republicans chomping at the bit to do just that...

These are independent events. Investigating for a year, handing out a bunch of immunity agreements and finding yourself out of people to prosecute says nothing about the new evidence at hand.

In what way is what I said presumptive?

Impeachment doesn't mean she will be forced to resign. Look at what happened with Bill Clinton. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_of_Bill_Clinton

I understand that, that's why I said "impeached AND forced to resign" :)

If the Senate convicts, the impeached individual is removed from office, they don't need to resign (and I guess won't save face by doing it once they are impeached).

Obama will pardon her a la Carter with Nixon.
