6. I agree...it's so clearly a partisan move.

There was nothing requiring Comey to update Congress...he chose to do so 11 days before the election.

My bottom line has always been (and has been reinforced by the recent wikileaks) that Hillary has known for years that she was going to run in 2016. She also knew that the repubs would investigate her every sneeze, so she would have done nothing that she considered the least bit suspicious on any level. She has been, in essence, auditioning for this job since 2008. Therefore they are not going to fine anything intentionally criminal.

Further, every single government agency had trouble transitioning to the new email technology in the early 2000s. Some still have not done so successfully. If you did an in depth investigation into any of these (I have personal knowledge of the VA and the IRS) you would find far worse in the way communications took place in the same era.
