#1 ... her paid agent was spreading unsubstantiated charges to get to the FBI to investigate her opponent ...

It should be noted that the FBI was eager and very willing to comply which one could argue is a violation of the FBI Ethics and Integrity Program, Section 7. Political Activities. Or does that only apply to the little people?

#2 So, why is Mueller's team so intent in linking Trump to Russia? Never mind, just a rhetorical question.

#3 #2 - to cover Hilly's involvement in the Russian uranium deal?

#6 ...to cover Hilly's involvement in the Russian uranium deal? To mask Hilly's involvement in the origins of the dossier? To divert attention from Russia's investments in Hilly's slush fund?

All of the above, plus time delay. Over time news becomes overtaken, memories fade, evidence is lost, and people even become deceased.
