1. Might change her mind if more accusers step forward? Strikes me as odd. Why say that now?

Almost appears like a threat. Carrot given, threat to take away.

How many RW pseudo-journalists are scouring the woods now?

5. Im a huge Franken fan, but I understand her point.

She’s saying that, if this was an isolated incident, then she thinks the apology suffices (even if they don’t agree on part of the incident). But if he had/has a pattern of similar behavior, then she might view resignation as necessary.

2. Franken immediately and openly apologized to Jackie Speier.

Jackie Speier accepted Franken's apology. Speier said Franken should not resign the Senate.
IMO case closed.

6. Leeann Tweeden is the one who accused Franken. Don't know where Jackie Speier comes in.

4. what else can she do

that was an unexpected develepment.
Investigations may expose ties to the right wing
then everyone will doubt her claims.
