2016 Postmortem

Yes, I know it takes two thirds of the Senate voting to remove the President from office and that is very unlikely to happen.
It only takes a simple majority of The House, and a House committee, to send it to the Senate.
It seems safe to assume that the (R)s will still have a majority in The House. Why would they not mar the first hundred days (or so) of a Pres. H. Clinton's administration with Impeachment hearings? I doubt there will be any political backlash since their base will love it and they will be as far removed from the mid term election as possible if they do it as soon as the new Congress starts.
There are 22 emails that are classified top secret right now. Either those will all need to be declassified to prove they did not pose a security risk or it is going to look like she mishandled sensitive information.
Isn't this really the very best any Clinton supporter can hope for? No indictment, Hillary wins the nomination and goes on to win the General. Then she is greeted with this.
