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?
