FBI launches new Clinton Foundation investigation
The Justice Department has launched a new inquiry into whether the Clinton Foundation engaged in any pay-to-play politics or other illegal activities while Hillary Clinton served as secretary of State, law enforcement officials and a witness tells The Hill.
FBI agents from Little Rock, Ark., where the foundation was started, have taken the lead in the investigation and have interviewed at least one witness in the last month, and law enforcement officials said additional activities are expected in the coming weeks.
The officials, who spoke only on condition of anonymity, said the probe is examining whether the Clintons promised or performed any policy favors in return for largesse to their charitable efforts or whether donors made commitments of donations in hopes of securing government outcomes.
The probe may also examine whether any tax-exempt assets were converted for personal or political use and whether the foundation complied with applicable tax laws, the officials said.
One witness recently interviewed by the FBI described the session to The Hill as “extremely professional and unquestionably thorough” and focused on questions about whether donors to Clinton charitable efforts received any favorable treatment from the Obama administration on a policy decision previously highlighted in media reports.
The witness discussed his interview solely on the grounds of anonymity. He said the agents were from Little Rock and their questions focused on government decisions and discussions of donations to Clinton entities during the time Hillary Clinton led President Obama's State Department.
Bingo! That is the jurisdiction of the Eastern District of Arkansas, where Trump's man took office last October 10.
We don't need to appoint another special counsel, which would only tie up and further delay justice. We need what we now have in place -- aggressive new United States Attorneys building and prosecuting criminal cases. Justice is served by grand juries and trial courts, not by leaks and press releases. Many of us don't recognize justice because we haven't seen it in years.
Thanks man
Still haven’t found any mention of other grand juries related to Obama era scandals. It seems the most obvious to investigate would be FISC abuses. I think the tampering (if any) with evidence concerning the FBI 302’s on the Flynn interrogation will be open and shut. I've read that judge sullivan has no tolerance for prosecutor shenanigans.
