I think she was initially cocky because she's got a huge proportion of the vote simply because she's a woman and there are a lot of people that like to vote based on identity, just like name recognition.
But she fucked up too hard. I think the career politicians and the people pulling the strings are now trying to get her out and replace her.

She wiped hard drive not because she was stupid, but because she was smart. She knows that being convicted of mishandling top-secret material would be a lot worse than just being suspected of it. It is even possible that her emails were leaked, and that leak led to Benghazi. She would be lucky to avoid jail at that point, let alone continue running for president.

being a suspect is better than being indicted with damning revelation. that's the calculated risk that she took, presumably.
