Will this be resolved before the election?

Almost certainly not.

It’s now reported that the “pertinent” emails found on a laptop belonging to Huma Abedin, Mrs Clinton’s chief aide, and her estranged husband Anthony Weiner number around 650,000.

That means that it will be almost impossible to analyse them all within a week.

The FBI will be looking whether classified information was shared in an unsafe manner. If no classified emails were found, then the 650,000 emails are irrelevant.
