I agree that Hillary Clinton should be subject to the law just like everyone else; that's not my point.
The FBI has the power to influence elections if it chooses to. Re-opening the investigation 11 days before election day fits the profile of trying to influence the election; it's an "October Surprise". But 'fitting the profile' is not conclusive and it's also very possible that re-opening it now was apolitical. We don't know enough right now to prove it either way.
My point is that we should seriously consider the possibility. Nobody wants the FBI trying to influence elections. Recall that another institution, the Supreme Court, decided a recent Presidential election on a party-line vote. A core value of the U.S. is that voters decide, whether or not I happen to agree with their decision. I'm afraid that could slip away if we turn a blind eye.
