Senate Committee Launches A New Clinton Investigation
The Daily Caller ^ | 6/4/2017 | Richard Pollock

Posted on 06/04/2017 5:54:05 PM PDT by Voluntaryist

Senate Committee on the Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley has launched a new investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s effort to thwart a Bangladesh government corruption probe of Muhammad Yunus, a Clinton Foundation donor and close friend of the Clintons.

The Iowa Republican’s effort is the first new official inquiry of Clinton since her unexpected loss in the 2016 presidential election to President Donald Trump. Trump’s supporters often chanted “lock her up” during his many boisterous campaign rallies.

But upon assuming the presidency, Trump and leaders of the Republican-majority Congress displayed little appetite for reopening investigations of Clinton’s tenure as the chief U.S. diplomat and multiple persistent allegations of “pay-to-play” corruption involving the Clinton Foundation. Until now.

The Daily Caller News Foundation (TheDCNF) Investigative Group exclusively reported in May that Clinton sent top U.S. diplomats to pressure Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheik Hasina and her son Sajeeb Wazed in an effort to kill that country’s corruption investigation of Yunus and Grameen Bank. Yunus was then managing director of the state-owned Bangladesh bank.

Sponsored Links by In a June 1, 2017, letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Grassley repeated TheDCNF charge that Clinton threatened Wazed with an IRS tax audit if his mother did not back away from the corruption probe. Wazed has lived in the U.S. for 17 years.

“If the Secretary of State used her position to intervene in an independent investigation by a sovereign government simply because of a personal and financial relationship stemming from the Clinton Foundation rather than the legitimate foreign policy interests of the United States, then that would be unacceptable,” Grassley told Tillerson.

I continue to be amazed that people still say this. I never expected her to win. With each passing week leading up to election day it became clearer that she did not have a chance.

Seems to me that this alone would be an abuse of power if not illegal

Agreed and all of the polls were fake so they could run with the Russian nonsense post election. Trump was a much better candidate, they knew they were gonna lose early on (during the primaries), and when’s the last time an incumbent party won after holding the White House for 8 years prior to 1992?

More people voted for her, then Trump.

That should tell you something and the conclusion is bad.

All Grassley can do is hand over his findings to the DOJ.

Someone on 4 or 8 chan claims there will be an effort to impeach Trump in 6 months, ramping up after summer riots in 5 cities (already planned), after which time a FEMA provisional gov’t will be established and the Dems will attempt to reimpose 0bama.

This old man, he plays ten

He plays knick knack all over again

With a knick knack paddy wack

Give a dog a bone

This old man goes rolling home

Its all a charade. They all have been compromised.

Does anyone here really believe in the deepest parts of their soul, Hillary or anyone going to jail?

Does anyone really believe the media is going to allow the truth be told?

The level of corruption is very deep. I mean really . . . Robert Mueller, a man who was suppose to be bi-partisan . . . long and special relationship with Comey and Clintons. Its all Bovine Scatology

Although Hildebeast is probably guilty as hell of numerous felonies, nothing will happen to her. All this noise and BS is merely “Kabuki Theater”. Much to much money and far to many “Big Shots” involved for this to go much further. Lots of BS and BLATHER will fly around, but in the end, it will be a “Nothingburger”.

During the Bush administration I constantly heard, “The Rule of Law”...what rule of law? Crooked people like the Clintons and their cabal break laws with impunity...and skate.

You or I would be prosecuted to the fullest extent. Un-freaking-believable.

Maybe.

I’d not heard of the FEMA provisional gov’t before, though.
