FBI Opens Investigation Into The Clinton Foundation — Again

Hillary Clinton is absolutely no stranger to controversy. Whether it's about Benghazi, or her emails that may have included confidential information of which she used her personal email address to handle - it's not new that she's a controversy in on herself.
The FBI has only recently announced, amid an extreme sway of controversy surrounding the Trump administration's potential ties to Russia as well as potential obstruction of justice, that they are now actively investigating the Clinton Foundation for the potential pay-to-play corruption while she was then-Secretary of State.
The inquiry by federal authorities stated that they are actively looking into reports that the tax-exempts were misused, and that Clinton donors may have been improperly promised political favors in exchange for their donations while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State for Barrack Obama; America's 44th President.
At the moment, it remains unclear what potential piece of evidence - if any - re-ignited the investigations into the Clinton Foundation's potential wrongdoings. 'The Hill', a major political news agency in the US, first reported the news and cited a potential witness to the political corruption scandal that is now rising.
A former senior adviser to Obama told CNN news, live on TV, that there shouldn't be any new developments and any new evidence to suggest that the inquiry should be reopened, saying that he believes Attorney General Jeff Sessions' boss, which would be the current President Trump, kept tweeting at the FBI to reopen the inquiry.
Well, here's where the editorial and opinion kicks in.
It would make a lot of sense if the Trump campaign and Trump presidential government pressured the FBI, via the President's statements on Twitter, to open the inquiry into Clinton. Ever since the Russia probe and obstruction of justice cases came to be; Trump and his supporters have been very vocal on switching the focus away.
Although many Republicans feel as though the inquiries into Clinton's wrongdoings should have never terminated, with their continuous denial that the terminations signified that there was nothing left to find, would it really change anything?
Say Hillary Clinton be prosecuted, arrested, charged, or anything else happen to her that the typical Trump supporter wants. What in the world would change for, let's say, anyone? Essentially, she's only a retired former-politician at the time being.
Sure, she ran the Democratic Party as their Presidential candidate for the 2016 election. Sure, you may consider it a shot in the foot to the Democrats in favor of slamming them for who they've supported in the past. But it really would not change anything, at all, seeing as Clinton's criminality wouldn't change the outcome of the Trump presidency, the 2018 midterms or even the Trump investigations.
Currently, federal authorities are also investigating the President for many crimes of which can be devastating to his presidency. If proven guilty, he can eventually be impeached. That is a real plausibility should Dems win the 2018 midterms of the Senate and the House of Representatives - and it isn't a far stretch.
And proving Hillary Clinton, the retired former-Democrat official, guilty of her crimes would simply not change the outcome of Trump's investigations. So why obsess over it? It's not a hidden fact that Fox News, Breitbart and Trump supporters in general have been obsessing over the Clinton investigations for a long time.
Now that Trump won the election, and Clinton stepped (mostly) away from the spotlight, it's time for them to realize that Clinton's wrongdoings won't change anything. It'd be a news flash that lasts a day, seeing as the major political stories right now should surround the elected President, not the former-opponent.
Meanwhile, threats of impeachment continue. Read our other stories to get briefed on news of the current President; instead of about the 2016 candidate.
