Close Clinton operative Terry McAuliffe is under federal investigation for campaign contributions from a Chinese billionaire who has also donated $2 million to the Clinton Foundation.
From CNN:
Virginia Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe is the subject of an ongoing investigation by the FBI and prosecutors from the Justice Department’s public integrity unit, U.S. officials briefed on the probe say.
As part of the probe, the officials said, investigators have scrutinized McAuliffe’s time as a board member of the Clinton Global Initiative, a vehicle of the charitable foundation set up by former President Bill Clinton.
There’s no allegation that the foundation did anything improper; the probe has focused on McAuliffe and the electoral campaign donations, the officials said.
Spokespeople for the Justice Department and the FBI declined to comment.
Among the McAuliffe donations that drew the interest of the investigators was $120,000 from a Chinese businessman, Wang Wenliang, through his U.S. businesses. Wang was previously delegate to China’s National People’s Congress, the country’s ceremonial legislature.

Former DNC head McAuliffe should have been imprisoned years ago. Remember “Global Crossing?”
What makes Brietbart think our country's legislature isn't pretty much ceremonial except in OBummer's first SOTU propaganda recital when someone yelled out... "YOU LIE!!!"
At the Foundation's lavish Morocco meeting hosted by a king, held early April, Bill Clinton was asked by a billionaire donor what Clinton was doing w/ the Foundations' donations.
The Foundation donor referred to the blizzard of adverse publicity that monies sent to the Foundation were not used as intended.
"What is this money for? What have you done with it?," he asked Clinton. The billionaire donor also told Clinton his daughter (a Foundation Board member) felt useless.....b/c apparently Board Members were not advised of some of Clinton's "charitable" activities.
"I just work here," Clinton responded. "I don't know." So if Foundation founder Bill Clinton did not know---and the Board did not know---who knew?
CONCLUSION If Foundation Board members were not advised of, and did not sign off on, expenditures of tax-exenpt Foundation donations, the Clintons have a legal problem that could involve violation of tax laws. Board members of Foundations are fiduciaries and are required to oversee the distribution of tax-exempt donations.
===============================================
NOTE TO ORTEL Several state and federal agencies the Clintons listed as donors told news outlets they did not contribute to the Clinton Foundation.
<><> EPA said there's no record of donations to the Clinton Foundation.
<><> The “Office of Minority Health and Human Services,” is listed but it's not clear what this donation referred to, or even which federal or state office it came from.
<><> The Arkansas Dept of Human Services received a donor "gift receipt" but said they never expended tax dollars to the Foundation. Wall Street investor and financial analyst Charles Ortel, who is preparing a 100-page report on the issue, says The Clinton Foundation's financial statements over the past six years have been fraudulent.
I hope Ortel realizes that the reason ANY offical documents are falsified is to cover-up even bigger crimes.
Yes, the very same person who the GOPe helped get elected.
Do you realize that your defeatist posts help the Clintons? Or do you WANT to help the Clintons...because you are a troll?
If you truly believe the Clintons and their cronies are untouchable, why are you engaged in debate? You have made your position known: HRC et al will never pay for their crimes to any degree: their political aspirations won't be derailed; they won't be indicted; they won't lose civil suits against them. Since you so believe, why don't you stop following these stories? Since you are all-knowing, why don't you just go away?
The reality of the situation is.....at this point, with respect to who holds power NOW, the Clintons are fairly safe. Come Jan., 2017, I am confident there will be a beginning of the end for the Clinton Crime Syndicate and their associated capos and other minor syndicates. BUT, only if we hold those capable of ending them hard and fast to the task of doing so.
McAuliffe is pro-abortion. He is allowed to receive Communion. From this, all rational people conclude that abortion is not evil, and supporting it is not a sin.
Segment on Kelly File next with author Of book on CLINTON foundation
Chinese man who contributed was a legal resident and could contribute. The investigation is directed toward a pay to play situation. Buying favors.
Is Humpty Dumpty about to fall? Just when it looked like she was un-electable!
I am really beginning to wonder if this FBI email investigation is actually a MUCH bigger and wider investigation looking into the Clinton Slush Foundation. Why else would it be taking so long?
There are many Freepers who would concur with what you are thinking about the email investigation leading down many avenues.
Further how much of that laundered money went to pay for super delegate votes?
Its pretty obvious hows this is all rigged now and how the rigging is rigged????
In my fantasy world where the Justice/FBI is not corrupt is that this email server has touched off a bit of a forensic accounting operation and it would have the network diagram of how all the money flowed - sadly that won't happen.
However there is a silver lining she has bought and paid for these delegates fair and square and most likely will get the nomination in a "messy" convention. She is Jeb Bush bad as a candidate when the media isn't shilling for her and even with all there attempts she plummeting.
In some ways Bernie might be more dangerous as his likability factor is much better than hers.
Either one I'm pretty sure Trump will beat like a drum come election day. Then if there was this investigation and evidence it might come to light then.
I actually am more scared of Bernie than Hillary. He may be a Marxist, but so far he is an honest Marxist, not a corrupt one like Hillary.
If Bernie ends up the candidate, however, it will present a stark choice whether Americans are going to follow Marxism or the present capitalist system.
The FBI’s getting warm....
Keep an eye on those "family ties" when it comes to laundering the foreign "Clinton Cash"
How much money got laundered through the Clinton Foundation?....All of it.
Is he related to Bob Loblaw?
