5. Republicans promise more of the same for President Clinton: Never-ending investigations

Republicans have already suggested how they're going to sabotage the beginning of a President Clinton's term: they want to bog her first 100 days down with all the stuff they are refusing to do this fall, to make sure she can't use her mandate on new, bold, popular initiatives. So the first 100 days will be eaten up with the detritus of the end of President Obama's term. They have a plan for the rest of her time in office, too. Investigations.

House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) wants answers on the deletion of Clinton emails he says may constitute "destruction of evidence" — and he's willing to use subpoenas to get them. House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) is working on a bill to pull the security clearance of anyone who broke rules governing confidential information, a jab aimed squarely at Clinton and her top aides.

And there’s percolating interest among congressional Republicans in sniffing out any connections between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department — a potential new Clinton probe inspired by reports showing foundation donors securing access to Clinton as secretary of state. CNN reported in August that FBI officials wanted to probe the Foundation connection for conflicts of interest but was slapped down by Justice officials.

Republicans have also signaled interest in diving deeper into questions of whether Clinton or her aides perjured themselves on the email matter.
