FBI's Clinton probe expands to public corruption track
fox news ^ | 01/11/2016 | By Catherine Herridge, Pamela Browne

The FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of private email as secretary of state has expanded to look at whether the possible "intersection" of Clinton Foundation work and State Department business may have violated public corruption laws, three intelligence sources not authorized to speak on the record told Fox News.

This new investigative track is in addition to the focus on classified material found on Clinton's personal server.

"The agents are investigating the possible intersection of Clinton Foundation donations, the dispensation of State Department contracts and whether regular processes were followed," one source said.

The development follows press reports over the past year about the potential overlap of State Department and Clinton Foundation work, and questions over whether donors benefited from their contacts inside the administration.

The Clinton Foundation is a public charity, known as a 501(c)(3). It had grants and contributions in excess of $144 million in 2013, the most current available data.

Inside the FBI, pressure is growing to pursue the case.

Some low level functionary will be assigned blame and made into the scapegoat.

I she ever serves a day in prison (which I doubt) it will be in a facility with amenities like Barack Obama’s vacation hotels.

Sidney Blumenthal is one of the Clinton characters that comes to mind. There have already been stories about him and Secretary of State Clinton.

If the Bureau sends their report to DOJ and Loretta Lynch declines to prosecute, the Watergate scandal will look like a minor incident in comparison.

Yes, expect another "Vince Foster" event in the near future.

The FBI’s NOT the RNC ... this isn’t opposition research.

Im getting tired of the what does it matter crowd - laws matter and if we insist laws matter, they eventually will. We are winning a Presidency in 2016 after having cleaned house in the past several as we built up to this. At some point and on some day - HRC will break enough laws to matter. The harder we push - the sooner it happens

No, but the Justice Department is run by Loretta Lynch who steps and fetches to Obama’s command.

Most rational people by this time have concluded nothing will come of this so called investigation. No wrongdoing and nobody indicted.

Does the RICO statute apply here? That would seem to be a sufficiently broad brush to catch even Herself. If the contributions to the Clinton Family Foundation Fund can be connected with specific actions performed or carried out in regards to the functions of the office of the State Department, it would be pretty hard to duck the consequences.

As they say, follow the money. No matter where it leads.

And it looks to be a long and crooked trail.

Follow the hundreds of millions and maybe billions of $’s the Clintoons got for their bs after Hill became SOS.

Those $’s were the real reason Clintoon set up her illegal server.

Those still infected by FCS (Fear of Clinton Syndrome) please understand this is an important development even if the media downplays it. The Public Corruption Unit is the one that puts scum like Granny in federal prisons.
