FBI director James Comey would not comment Thursday when asked directly by Congress, under oath, whether his department is still investigating Hillary Clinton in connection with possible corruption related to the Clinton Foundation. Comey had announced Tuesday that he would not recommend prosecuting Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified information, despite the fact that her behavior was extremely careless.
However, Comey did not say anything about investigation into the Clinton Foundation, which now still appears to be ongoing.
That investigation involves suspicions that the former Secretary of State abused her role to solicit donations for her familys private charity including donations from some foreign governments.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, chair of the House Committee on Government Oversight and Reform, asked: Did you look at the Clinton Foundation?
Comey responded: Im not going to comment on the existence or non-existince of any other investigations.
He also said he would not answer whether the Clinton Foundation was tied into the investigation of Clintons email server.

Yeah, throw us a bone, Jim. Take all the time you need to investigate — four years into her administration. Hell, drag it out until after her reelection.
And 50% of the electorate would still vote for her.
We can add
“I Love To Stay In Shape And Don't Want to Fear My Exercise Equipment For The Rest Of My (potentially shortened) Life”
We all know how that will turn out.
He continued...It’s just so hard scheduling Bubba and Loretta.
Sorry, APPARENTLY corrupt jerkwad. (I’m “little people” so laws apply to me. Don’t want a defamation suit versus a fed.)
After Comey’s shameful performance, he tries a little CYA.
No one’s buying it.
Yup
All I can say at this point is, don’t let the bastids get you down. I’m not.
“Still trying to demoralize the troops?”
Are you still head of the James Comey fan club?Do you still sleep with your FBI binkie?
As many Republicans tried today, to their credit, to emphasize, Hillary's actions don't make sense absent a clear intent to deceive. On a side note, I have to say that Jason Chaffetz was on fire today. That final exchange he had with Comey was electric, and should be used as material for campaign ads from now until the election.
Jimmy boy, you done screwed the pooch.
There’s no going back or getting back at this point.
Enjoy your thirty pieces of silver.
This was one reason why I've never believed that Donald Trump was ever serious about this campaign. Arsonists, child molesters and even trial lawyers ought to hold a level of public respect higher than what Washington, D.C. has given us over the last 25 years.
Some enterprising congressman should have taken the opportunity to give the fell just that - a bag with thirty pieces of silver for his betrayal of our country.
so why didn’t Comey just come out and say there were no other investigations in progress regarding Hillary?
My guess is he left it hanging to avoid having to answer questions about the Foundation. This way they don’t have to investigate and they don’t have to defend why they did not investigate.
I love my country. So yeah, this is getting me down a little bit.
But I’m also a Texan. If these jerkwads aren’t stupid enough to make any noise here. They kind of tried and failed. So I’m not too down.
Thanks for the sentiment.
They also need to lock on to why the FBI hasn't investigated any of the other staffers involved who apparently misused classified information. Comey appeared totally caught off guard when asked about this. It was obvious to me that they hit a nerve there, so they need to keep pursuing it.
The “If” is an iPhone glitch.
Really? Isn’t THAT interesting...20 years!!!!
So what? The investigation is two pronged. The racketeering is the other prong. Comey wouldn’t comment on Hilary’s aides. The racketeering was never covered by the media like the emails. It’s still ongoing.
