They would love a Clinton Foundation under the media microscope side show going into the mid terms and demand at least equal media time as the Russia probe.

Benghazi and the emails did a lot of damage to Hillary as a candidate. Trump could not have won without that damage.

They can impeach Trump to save themselves saying "Impeaching Trump shows that we're the party to clean up Washington and now we're going to get Crooked Hillary".

These are ruthless people. They'll do anything to cling to power. Looking back at Nixon sabotaging the Vietnam peace talks, Reagan Iran hostages/contra, Willie Horton ad, swiftboating John Kerry, etc - this is what these GOP people do to get power.
