Clintons Hit with Bad News as Judge Issues Order on Criminal Investigation of Their Foundation

A U.S. tax court judge has ordered the Internal Revenue Service to disclose if it criminally investigated the Clinton Foundation.

This ruling was part of an ongoing case involving whistleblowers who have long alleged wrongdoing on the part of the charity that bears the name of former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Judge David Gustafson pointed to a “gap” in IRS records and said that the agency’s claim to have never criminally investigated the Clintons’ charity “was not supported by the administrative record and thus constituted an abuse of discretion.”

Although most of the details of the case involving the Clinton Foundation and two whistleblowers, Lawrence W. Doyle and John F. Moynihan, have remained sealed, Gustafson authorized the release of his April 22 ruling, which remanded the case back to the IRS Whistleblower Office, to investigative reporter John Solomon’s outlet Just the News.

“The WO must further investigate to determine whether CI [criminal investigative division] proceeded with an investigation based on petitioners’ information and collected proceeds,” the ruling stated. “It seems clear we should remand the case to the WO so that it can explore this gap.”

Just the News noted that the judge also declined Doyle and Moynihan’s request to accept a deposition from an Arkansas state official or to compel discovery in the case. Gustafson determined that to do so would have been “outside the scope of proper discovery” and cast cold water on any hopes of a revelatory trial.

Here is my understanding of the Clinton Foundations. If anybody know it to be different, please educate me.

There is like 23 Clinton Foundations. The one in New York is probably run clean, but it’s the last to get the money. The other 22 filter the money, with a necessary processing fee, between each step, until about 5% of the original donation hits New York.

That’s whey 200 million in Haiti relief becomes a 5 million dollar hotel investment in Haiti, and no relief.

Having escaped prosecution for their last 627 (give or take) scandals and felonies, I’m guessing they’ll probably be okay, and simply move on to their next criminal enterprise.

The Clinton Foundation is a red-herring target. That crime cabal hasn't been funneling money since Killary Klinton lost her selection in 2016 the Election of 2016.

A U.S. tax court judge has ‘ordered the IRS to disclose’ if it criminally investigated the Clinton Foundation.......

Quick answer will be yes....proving it will be just another never ending scuttle the deck chairs and run it all down the field.

It is important to note that an agent might want to make a criminal referral, but his/her supervisors/s could decide against it. Or the Criminal Division could decide to not accept the referral.
My language might not be technically precise, but I think you get the idea of how it is difficult to know what happened. Unless you are Jeffrey Epstein ...... LOL

For decades Justice Thomas has been my favorite person in DC.


Call it an appreciation for his respect of the Constitution, a man crush, being able to relate to him being a man of God, or whatever. I wish everybody in DC and local govt was like him.

They’ll just destroy evidence and nothing happens to them. Because laws are only for the chumps. Not them.

“A U.S. tax court judge has ordered the Internal Revenue Service to disclose if it criminally investigated the Clinton Foundation.”

Response: “Yes, we found nothing.”

Case closed
