Today I watched a half hour of the House committee's emergency hearing about the FBI decision not to prosecute Hillary Clinton. About half the time I was looking at some loathsome creep making an argument too stupid to repeat. What Clinton did was not criminal. What Gen. Petraeus did was criminal because he sent classified material to someone not in the government (to his girlfriend who was writing a book about him). Clinton's communications were with other members of the United States government, not to the Chinese or Russian governments.
This is a fake scandal. The worst we can say about Hillary is that the secretary of state was unwise to use a private server, and that we don't know why she did it. My guess is that the Clintons are a little paranoid, which has made them obsessively secretive; of course, they do have genuine political enemies of a sort that make human people's skin crawl. What it comes down to is this. The Republicans and the Clintons have engaged in a 20-year-long battle over who deserves the Oligarchy's backing, and few things get worse than siblings fighting over an inheritance.
