Should she win the biggest election of her life next week, Hillary Clinton could find herself in the biggest fight of her life from the get-go as president.

Republicans on Capitol Hill are readying themselves, stockpiling ammo to use against a would-be President Clinton should she defeat Donald Trump in next week's election, Politico reported.

And they plan to expend every last bit of it to get to the bottom of Clinton's email controversy.

"Even before we get to Day 1, we've got two years' worth of material already lined up," House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz was quoted by The Washington Post last week. "She has four years of history at the State Department, and it ain't good."

FBI Director James Comey's decision last week to reopen the investigation into Clinton's email server has emboldened Republicans even more.

Plus, with leaked reports in the press about alleged mutiny among FBI agents, tactics used or not used to investigate Clinton, and the Justice Department reportedly stymieing the FBI's New York field office probe into the Clinton Foundation, it's a treasure trove for Republicans to explore.

"They didn't do subpoenas. They didn't do search warrants. They relied on these agreements that limit what they can look at and how they can use that information,"
a Republican source told Politico.

"They certainly handcuffed themselves, and that can certainly be something people look into down the line, depending on what happens."

However, Ronald Kessler's reporting earlier this week debunked a lot of the speculation and innuendo surrounding the FBI's investigation, including the fact that all 25 FBI agents who worked the investigation agreed with Comey's decision not to bring charges in July.
