“...so the next approach is to make it appear as if she simply goofed up a little on minor things...”
I disagree. For the AP, this article is very tough on HRC. I think the media know that if the State Dept report was that scathing, the FBI report will be much worse (since the FBI has more ammo). The media are preparing the real possibility HRC will be indicted, which Rudy Giuliani puts at 60%.
They can't indict her until the "investigation" is complete. They're estimating that that will take approximately 47 years.
