One thing you can bet on is that if one of these entities tells Trump that there is a criminal case to be made against Hillary, Trump's not going to quash it like, say, Obama is known for doing.

Exactly. Trump is playing it smart. And it's smart to kick that can down the road for now. Just wait and let the FBI do it's job. In the meantime he can throw an olive branch to the liberals to placate them, and have time to work on more important items, such as the economy. A rising economy will gain him a lot of ground.
If the FBI drops the investigation; then so be it, he can say let it go or assign a special prosecutor. If the FBI indicts, then she stuck her own head in the noose, and he has fulfilled the campaign promise while at the same time not directly going after her.
