Mike Pence Urges Fed Probe Into Whether Clinton Granted Political Favors to Foundation Donors
Fox News ^ | August 14 2016

Posted on 08/14/2016 5:04:12 PM PDT by drewh

Republican vice-presidential nominee Gov. Mike Pence on Sunday suggested a federal investigation into whether Hillary Clinton, during her tenure as secretary of state, provided political favors to foreign donors to her family’s Clinton Foundation, saying “the American people have a right to know.”

The Indiana governor argued that emails made public last week suggested such a connection between State Department officials and major foreign donors to the foundation but acknowledged that Clinton’s involvement remains unclear.

“It looks that way more and more every day,” Pence said. “That's what we need to find out. … This is exactly the kind of pay to play politics the American people are sick and tired of. It is just one more example of the way I do believe that the Clintons have been operating over the last 30 years.”

He also argued that some FBI officials wanted an investigation, but President Obama's Department of Justice “apparently has shut that down.”

Missouri Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill, a strong Clinton supporter, said later on “Fox News Sunday” that only two emails were released and that they provided “no evidence” that any of Clinton’s State Department decisions were influenced by foundation activities.

However, McCaskill acknowledged that the department under Clinton putting foundation donor Rajiv K. Fernando on a sensitive government intelligence advisory board without him having the requisite experience was “not such a good idea.”

You’re going to have to find an unreasonable prosecutor to charge the Clintons with anything.

Thank you, Mike Pence, for making this “suggestion”. Of course, nothing will be done but keep talking about it because over and over and over again it might start to sink in to the American voting psyche. We can hope.

This like asking the Mafia if it can investigate one of their capos for criminal activity.

The Feds are too partisan right now. We need some honest, independent investigators and prosecutors who aren’t interested in protecting the DNC and Clintoon Crime Family’s asses. Hopefully, Trump will be able to clean up the Holder and Lynch “DOJ”. It’s too racist and partisan.

Questions for Hillary:

Will all of your cabinet members have private email servers. So that they can control what is subject to FOIA and they can just destroy any incriminating emails?

Will all of your cabinet members have private foundations that accept donations from people who have business before their departments?

Well, as soon as Mr. Pence can find where Comey is hiding, he can ask for that investigation. That man’s credibility is zero. After that blatant whitewash of crooked Hillary, an honorable man would have resigned in shame.

I agree, and one who isn't worried about committing Arkancide, or visiting Fort Marcy Park.

Whether? If?

Let me help you... this woman does not know how to tell the truth... and she’s as corrupt as you will ever find.. she goes back to Whitewater, Rose Law Firm, Arkansas, Mena airport Travelgate, Vince Foster and a whole lot of others....she knows how to do this... and she has no plan to stop. She has gotten by with it all this time... by now she even fools herself..

Will anyone ever stop this family? Trump is our best chance and they know it... trying to get him before he gets them... they are the zenith of all Washington politics stand for and it is about to topple all because of this man, Trump. He’s not a politician and he doesn’t sound like one... he’s the outsider who makes these ridiculous true statements... doncha know you are truly an outsider if you are honest and running for President...

Let the court of public opinion decide then. Spread this information far and wide. Talk about it often, post it to social media. Raise awareness. Many times, stories that don’t die get picked up by the msm and get reported just because they’re making waves on social media, talk shows, and alternative media.
