FBI Launches Investigation Clinton Foundation for ‘Pay to Play’

12

Long, long overdue.

For years, the Clinton Foundation was the repository for cash payments in exchange for political favors and more.

Russia sent millions to the Clinton Foundation – the irony is the Mueller is looking into bogus Russia collusion charges.

Among other things:

  • the mysterious multimillion-dollar Foundation gift from an obscure Indian politician that coincided with Senator Clinton’s reversal on the nuclear non-proliferation treaty;
  • how Secretary of State Clinton was involved in allowing the transfer of nearly 50 percent of US domestic uranium output to the Russian government, benefiting large donors to the Clinton Foundation;
  • how multimillion-dollar contracts for Haiti disaster relief were awarded to donors and friends of Hillary and Bill;
  • how Bill received large payments for speeches from foreign businesses and governments with matters pending before the State Department;
  • how the Clintons’ joint visit to Colombia was followed by the grant of lucrative logging rights to a Canadian billionaire, a top Clinton Foundation donor;
  • how Bill received $2 million for speeches from the largest shareholder in the Keystone Pipeline project, even as Hillary played a role in approving it.

Justice Department investigating Clinton Foundation over ‘pay to play’ allegations

FOX News, January 4, 2018:

The Justice Department has launched a new investigation into allegations the Clinton Foundation used “pay to play” politics while Hillary Clinton was U.S. secretary of state, Fox News has confirmed.

A source familiar with the investigation told Fox News late Thursday the investigation is being led by the U.S. Attorney’s office and the FBI in Little Rock, Ark.

Fox News also has learned investigators are looking into whether the Clinton Foundation violated tax law. Accusers of “pay to play” have claimed the foundation promised favors in exchange for donations or pledges of cash or gifts.

The Hill, which broke the story Thursday evening, added that FBI agents have taken the lead in the investigation and have interviewed at least one witness in the last month.

JUDICIAL WATCH: EMAILS SHOW CLINTON FOUNDATION ‘PAY FOR PLAY’ SCHEME

The witness said that agents inquired specifically about donations to Clinton entities and official government actions during Clinton’s leadership of the State Department under President Obama, according to the Hill.

The Hill reported that law enforcement officials said there will be “additional activities” relating to the investigation in the coming weeks.

In a statement to Fox News, Clinton Foundation spokesman Craig Minassian suggested that the organization had done nothing improper.

“Time after time, the Clinton Foundation has been subjected to politically motivated allegations, and time after time these allegations have been proven false,” Minassian said. “None of this has made us waver in our mission to help people.”

Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill told Fox News that the investigation is an attempt by the Trump administration to distract the public.

“Let’s call this what it is: A sham,” Merrill said. “This is a philanthropy that does life-changing work, which Republicans have tried to turn into a political football.  It  began with a long-debunked project spearheaded by Steve Bannon during the presidential campaign.  It continues with Jeff Sessions doing Trump’s bidding by heeding his calls to meddle with a department that is supposed to function independently. The goal is to distract from the indictments, guilty pleas, and accusations of treason from Trump’s own people at the expense of our justice system’s integrity. It’s disgraceful, and should be concerning to all Americans.”

Late last year, Attorney General Jeff Sessions told prosecutors to evaluate “certain issues” raised by congressional Republicans cocerning alleged unlawful dealings related to the Clinton Foundation, leading to speculation about the potential appointment of another special counsel.

In September, the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch said that emails from Clinton aide Huma Abedin’s account showed Clinton Foundation donors requesting and receiving favors from the State Department.

Federal investigators are also reviewing Clinton’s use of a private email server when she was secretary of state, according to The Daily Beast.

as guilty as they are, will be tough to prove when they use 3rd parties to pay them off for “other things”. But I hope they get nailed.

Hildebeast should be in jail over her private emails and destroying evidence. Is this all a ruse to skip over that, AGAIN????

what else do we need to nail her? everything on video??? sheesh.

Hello, CommonCents. Actually, the investigation into the Clinton Family Charitable Foundation was never closed. It has remained open since August and is still handled by the Little Rock FBI office.

I’m sure Hillary and Bubba have greased more wheels over the years. I, for one, hold little to no faith in the FBI or the DOJ. The Clintons criminal activity has been going on for numerous years; nothing touches these two should-be felons. I fear, they have been enabled by the aforementioned and others. Americans’ are gullible if believing the law for those in power and Joe and Joanne America is identical to that of the Clintons or others power-brokers. There are numerous others sharing culpability with the Clintons/Bonnie and Clyde. The gang will cover each other’s hinys unless the investigation is intensive and on the level.

I, as said, hold little faith in the investigators and their handlers; likely, the Clintons.

Even if it were all on video, she STILL wouldn’t be prosecuted, unfortunately.

Ho hum, more space filler. When there is serious legal action progressing through the courts, mention it.

It’s another dog & pony show from the US Injustice Dept.

“Let’s call this what it is: A sham,” Merrill said. “This is a philanthropy that does life-changing work,….” The level of insanity by people surrounding the Clintons is astounding. They are utterly incapable of ANY introspection and cannot, under any circumstances, ever admit any fault. Anywhere. They do exactly what they are accusing Trump of doing.

Considering how corrupt the FIB team is, I don’t expect much to happen BUT SHOCK ME. I’d like to be wrong and shammed.

Perhaps that recent fire at her home was to destroy more evidence. It used to be shredding documents, then wiping servers clean and maybe now FIRES?

I’d like to see any of that investigating actually happen before I believe it.

It is interesting to note that those massive donations to the Clinton Crime Family Foundation dried up when her political career did. One of these days, the Clintons are going to get what they so richly deserve (pun intended) and my only hope is that I am around to see it.

I think they misread the message. Pay to Prey. Which just now should be just shortened to PRAY. Pray Hillaryous does not get hanged without diapers on.

Or fecal and urine will dribble down her leg.

Or she and Bill could choose the “Mussolini” method. Get hanged UPSIDE DOWN.
