I might not be the most informed person when it comes to behind-closed-doors politics, BUT, if I was to speculate on this I would say there could be two possible reasons for this silhouette show. Those being either
1. It's all a BS distraction from something else, as our government is notorious for slight of hand acts to hide their actual intentions.
OR
2. There are multiple government agencies that are NOT on the same side and we could be witnessing a sort of battle between them. Instead of using bullets to kill people, they're using information to kill careers.
While it's always questionable if our government is on the same page with itself; I would be more apt to believe we are being distracted from something else while the FBI is running around closing and reopening this whole email case thing.

Claims have been sprouting all day about Clintons home being raided (before FBI announcement) and Snopes was quick to debunk it. www.snopes.com...
Maybe someone slipped some BS information around too soon or we are being played. Time will tell.

The article was posted 4 hours before the OP caught wind (so it says). Nothing to really indicate that anyone would be preemptively aware.
Understood. The combo of Fox News's report and Donald Trump restating it over and over today, could have prompted the FBI to move up their schedule and conduct raids before evidence could be destroyed.

Why do people think snopes is THE definitive, end all, judge of the validity of... well.. anything? Who the hell are they? Who funds them?

It could take up to 48 hours for the raids to actually take place. Planning and logistics, in concert with local agencies take time. So, just because you don't see raids by the morning don't blow it off. And I would suspect if they arrested anyone before the election it would be aides, staff, civilians, etc. Before you go for the gold you are going to need cooperating witnesses. Making arrests is how you get people in the position to cooperate.
However, at this point I can't rule anything out. And for people that mentioned calling media and acting as an agent, what legitimate journalists do is contact their sources they have developed a long term relationship with in LE. So, no you don't get a call saying, "Hey, I am an anonymous FBI agent and this is happening". Well, maybe beforeitsnews would do something like that.
