I don't know if this would be a good idea or not. It's one thing to brief them on a concluded investigation where the facts and circumstances are known as much as can reasonably be know, but drawing conclusions while an investigation is in progress could easily give the false appearance of guilt or innocence (i.e. what Comney did).

I think the answer here is that you elect Trump, wait for the investigation to be completed then impeach him and however far down corruption goes if proven true. If the electors do not elect trump there will be a civil war.
In this scenario you could end up with a Paul Ryan presidency.
