Based on McAuliffe getting investigated, I think not. Look for Blumenthal to be added to the list of those who lost the FBI lottery soon.
The Guccifer deal is being finalized.

This is separate from the FBI investigation(s). This is internal to the State Department under the Federal Records Act.
The FBI investigations are for mishandling of classified information and (if leaks are to be believed) potential corruption in the form of “pay to play” via the Clinton Foundation.
This is NOT part of the FBI investigation so I don’t think we can draw any conclusions about the FBI investigation based on the internal State Department compliance review regarding the handling of records.
Based on what we know, the pin has been pulled on this and it will explode at some point. The FBI cannot force the DOJ to bring charges, but their job is to recommend charges and make the best case possible. A large portion of the FBI exists to protect classified information and despite “political guesses” I still believe they will fulfill their role. If they didn’t, it would undermine their own authority and damage their reputation. Contrary to the suggestions of many here and elsewhere, the FBI (as an organization) is apolitical.
This issue will not go away for the Clinton’s as long as Trump has a microphone. Romney or McCain would have hardly said a word about it..... break out the popcorn.
No, it's not. State always was going to be the easiest on HRC, so the fact that this report is criticizing her at all is significant. Now, State will not take any ACTION against HRC, of course. However, the content of the report itself is in indicator that the findings of the FBI investigation and the results of the Judicial Watch suit are also going to be negative for HRC. Now, even optimists like me always knew that State, which after all, facilitated HRC’s private server (at least indirectly), was never going to punish her for her bad behavior; the FBI, vis-à-vis the DOJ, and the courts, as a result of Judicial Watch’s lawsuit, are different animals. It is very bad news indeed for HRC that the detestable, corrupt Terry McAuliffe is now the subject of a DOJ investigation for activities linked in part to his involvement with the Clinton Family Foundation. Remember: HRC’s secret server also was the server for the Clinton Foundation. Remember also that HRC’s staff deleted about 30k personal emails from that server. But those emails all were about yoga and Chelsea's wedding, right? It couldn't be that any of them were about, say, donations from Chinese nationals to McAuliffe’s campaign by way of the Clinton Foundation or some other chicanery, could it?
Freepers who continually post the-Clintons-are-untouchable: start paying close attention. They are, at long last, in big trouble.
Probably true, but no one ever though for a second she would go down at the hands of the State Dept. The FBI knew she broke the rules from the get go, their investigation goes into much deeper sinister areas.
