23. "it should also" is not definite -it's a statement of probability meaning it probably will come true

Given what charges would do to her candidacy/the democratic process for elections and the country, with them through the emails by the end of January, the FBI are very unlikely to wait until the general election is underway to charge her. They're already been through two thirds of her emails. There's no need to wait if they found criminal wrong doing. They can always add to the charges later. (Something like that would probably leak anyway)

Crux, Bush, Rubio & Clinton February FOIAs

Didn't find any FOIAs on Bernie but that doesn't mean they're not out there.

The point of the above is they're all under some scrutiny. I'd concede with all of Hillary's emails out there, she's probably guaranteed some trouble - maybe not from the FBI or from the government investigations - but maybe, simply from from the GOP using the emails to infer bad things - the email gives their video some credible basis to spin BS from. They have tens of thousands to pick from. And therefore, Hillary is a higher risk. And I'd also concede with all of them, that the best time to nuke them with bad news is when they're in the general. But I do not see the FBI doing that. Could see the Senate investigation trying for that.
