It's beyond me why it doesn't die because if you look at it from the big picture,

A high ranking public official has staff set up email so they can do their job.
They do their job, life goes on.
Well after leaving that job, some reporters stir up a kerfuffle over classified info that might have been in some of the emails that went to what amounted to a private server.
The government is embarrassed into investigating the matter due to the level of publicity.

The BS fans will crucify this post, that's fine. But ask yourself a few questions:

Is anyone alleging the mail server set up was done by Hillary? No
Is anyone alleging Hillary dictated a private server or any particular technology be used? No.
Is anyone alleging Hillary masterminded or otherwise directed how to pull the emails, clearing the server? No.
Is anyone alleging Hillary was the originator of an e-mail that used classified information? No.
Is anyone alleging Hillary forwarded an e-mail that used classified information that was marked classified? No.
Is anyone alleging the use of private e-mail accounts by others in this job was illegal as those e-mails would be on servers out of the control of staff? No.
Is anyone alleging any damage occurred by use of private e-mails by Hillary or her predecessors? No.

In the end I get it's great theater, fun to hit her over the head with, but it has no possibility of resulting in escalation...none.
