What about the Clinton corruption investigation?

Since FBI Director James Comey delivered a blistering indictment of Hillary Clinton's email practices on Tuesday, and then outrageously declared that no "reasonable" prosecutor would bring charges, it seems that many in the press view the matter as closed. But there was one big thing Comey didn't mention in his statement, and which the media seems to have forgotten also: Clinton's email practices are potentially only the tip of the iceberg of her illegal activities.
