Just speculating, but I don't think anything will happen before the election to cause Clinton to step down.

On the other hand, if she (or anyone else) is elected and then prosecuted and found guilty of a Federal crime, the vice president would move up to president, based on the line of succession.

So, Kaine would be president if Clinton needs to step down after being elected. Or, the flip side, Pence would be president if Trump needs to step down.

FBI just came running out of the dressing room and dropped a flying elbow off the top ropes.

FBI won't reopen an investigation unless it's something pertinent.

What the FBI actually said was

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, asked Comey at the July 7 congressional hearing, "Did she lie to the public?"

Comey responded, "That's a question I'm not qualified to answer."
Who is qualified to answer it ?

How do you know she's a criminal conspirator?

So, she is GUILTY and should not be running for office.

The point is, they should have arrested her before we got this far.
I'm not re-litigating all that.

They'd better have something. Something indisputably criminal. Otherwise, Director Comey is essentially tampering with this election.

It's a good thing you're basically not voting by casting your ballot for a 3rd party candidate seeing as you don't even know which vice president is which.

If Russia is indeed behind the wikileaks emails, it is pretty sad that it took pressure from Russia for the FBI to actually do its job. If this does not speak to the corruption in Washington, then I don't know what does.

Even Republicans are already criticizing Comey for his partisan attempt to influence the election:

And Comey omitted a key fact:
