It's hard to understand the strategy here: I'm sure that Goodlatte and Chaffetz expect Clinton to win the election.
I assume that if they could secure an indictment before 8 Nov they'd pursue it, but it would be seen as such a blatantly partisan attempt to sway the election that I'm not sure they would get much traction from it. Perhaps they hope to lay the groundwork for impeachment, but, although the House might vote for it, the Senate would never convict.
