Well it is impossible to separate the Presidential politics and speculation that Clinton has committed a crime. I highly doubt she would be scrutinized so closely by the FBI if she was not running for President. And politically speaking, I suspect that a cloud of suspicion as to Clinton's guilt or innocence is worse than the likely outcome. Heck, General Petraeus admitted that he passed top secret info to a lover/reporter and he got a slap on the wrist.
I guess the country can live with the uncertainty of a Clinton indictment at the moment... but I hope whether she is or is not to be indicted gets resolved one way or the other before the Democratic Party Convention. Objectively, I can't think why Americans would hope for a nominated Presidential candidate to be indicted for any crime during the fall campaign except any other reasons other than partisan ones.
Trump is going to find out the negative aspect of having a cloud of suspicion hanging over his head as we approach the November election. His own cloud of culpability over the Trump University legal proceedings will continue through election day. (The judge in the case won't rule until after the election). I don't think that is helpful to the democratic process either.
Clinton has admitted that setting up a private server was not a good idea and says she regrets it. Trump continues to defend his innocence in the improper financial procedures attributed to Trump University. Personally I wish all this be cleared up before the fall campaign for the sake of the nation. But I fear that is too much to ask.
