I'm not 100% sure about her decision, but can see her thoughts here.
She wants everything out on the table, and if nothing much there (what I suspect), she moves on.
If nothing gets released, she then declares the matter closed and moves on.
But it could back-fire: She does not want this to go back-and-forth, and dominate the last 10 days of the election.
My gut says there's nothing of criminal consequence there, to begin with. WikiLeaks hasn't sunk her, and the FBI found nothing worthy of criminal prosecution with her other plethora of emails, so there's little likelihood of problems with the few she had with Huma.
So all-in-all, it's probably a reasonably good gambit on her part.
Well, not exactly. Anyone under investigation would love the FBI to just lay out all the information they have before an indictment. The FBI wouldn't do that, and she knows it, because doing so closes avenues of investigation. She made a request that she knows the FBI can't fulfill.
