Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, an important ally of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, funneled nearly $700,000 in donations and support to the campaign of the spouse of an FBI official who then oversaw Clinton's email investigation.
The Virginia governor's office was full of denials about the connection on Sunday.
"Any insinuation that his support" for state Senate candidate Dr. Jill McCabe, wife of FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, "was tied to anything other than his desire to elect candidates who would help pass his agenda is ridiculous," a spokesman for the governor told the Wall Street Journal.
McAuliffe's PAC donated $475,000 to Jill McCabe's campaign in 2015 and the Virginia Democratic Party, which is heavily influenced by the governor, donated an additional $207,788 worth of support to her unsuccessful bid for office.The FBI insists that Andrew McCabe "played no role" in his wife's campaign. Months later he was promoted from associate deputy director to deputy director which gave him an "oversight role in the investigation into Secretary Clinton's emails."
The McCabes together did have one meeting with McAuliffe in March of last year, in which the governor and other state Democrats urged Jill McCabe to run for office.
After that meeting, Andrew McCabe reportedly sought ethics advice from the FBI and followed it. He not only refrained from campaigning on his wife's behalf but recused himself from public corruption cases in Virginia, currently including an investigation into possible foreign influence peddling by McAuliffe himself.
The article states that there is still a 3 year old investigation ongoing at the FBI involving foreign financing of McAuliffe's gubernatorial election and that McCabe is not involved. Rudy Guilliani this morning stated that McCabe was and still is in charge of that investigation.
nothing to see here for you little people....move on along.
More evidence that corruption goes deep into the FBI, in addition to the fact that the Director of the FBI is a traitor to the United States of America.
President Trump will need to dismantle the FBI, and form a new law enforcement agency.
Poor Nixon. He was so minor league compared to this gang. As long as there is a shred of doubt that it might actually be legal, they do not care what it looks like.
And this sets the Ethical example for the rest of the country and the people.
A fish rots from the head
Why the shock? After eight years virtually every Federal agency is under the control of the Obama commissars. That control, combined with a compliant, propagandist press that ignore malfeasance, results in a very corrupt government that has lost the trust of the people.
Live fish don’t rot
That man, mcauliffe, that woman, and that payoff, may be the one thing that was the turning point in not indicting hillary. comey either was corrupt from day one, or he became one in a hurry with that kind of money and that kind of persuasion.
hillary got off from a damning and sure indictment and arrest.. and instead, she is running for the President of our country. Unbelievable!! one man could have such a powerful way to turn this into a circus of the worst kind.. with the clown of all clowns.
Nah, you are surely kidding?
In any other nation in the world, this would be a criminal offense. But in the US under Democrats, this is permitted. This is why the Fascism if the Democrats must be stopped
Not one word about this on NBC “news” this AM!! Perhaps Mr. Trump’s team should have mailing or TV infomercials ASAP explaining this whole new level of corruption. There must be some stubborn voters who will finally say “enough” when they hear this.
Only dishonorable people work for the FBI.
it has been that way for longer than people think.
if you know people who work for the FBI don’t associate with them.
you shouldn’t associate with bad, rotten people.
Trump actually mentioned this in his speech in St Augustine yesterday and believe it or not the local rag mentioned it within the coverage of his speech. I was floored. Of course though, there was no headline and one had to drill down into the article to find it.
Two Kinds of Plunder
Mr. de Montalembert [politician and writer] adopting the thought contained in a famous proclamation by Mr. Carlier, has said: “We must make war against socialism.” According to the definition of socialism advanced by Mr. Charles Dupin, he meant: “We must make war against plunder.”
But of what plunder was he speaking? For there are two kinds of plunder: legal and illegal.
I do not think that illegal plunder, such as theft or swindling — which the penal code defines, anticipates, and punishes — can be called socialism. It is not this kind of plunder that systematically threatens the foundations of society. Anyway, the war against this kind of plunder has not waited for the command of these gentlemen. The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. Long before the Revolution of February 1848 — long before the appearance even of socialism itself — France had provided police, judges, gendarmes, prisons, dungeons, and scaffolds for the purpose of fighting illegal plunder. The law itself conducts this war, and it is my wish and opinion that the law should always maintain this attitude toward plunder.
The Law Defends Plunder
But it does not always do this. Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Thus the beneficiaries are spared the shame, danger, and scruple which their acts would otherwise involve. Sometimes the law places the whole apparatus of judges, police, prisons, and gendarmes at the service of the plunderers, and treats the victim — when he defends himself — as a criminal.
Socialism Is Legal Plunder
You would use the law to oppose socialism? But it is upon the law that socialism itself relies. Socialists desire to practice legal plunder, not illegal plunder. Socialists, like all other monopolists, desire to make the law their own weapon. And when once the law is on the side of socialism, how can it be used against socialism? For when plunder is abetted by the law, it does not fear your courts, your gendarmes, and your prisons. Rather, it may call upon them for help.
/”The Law” - Bastiat
We, the national socialists of The United States of America, plundered some folks. We bankrupted your republic. We took control and used it for our own purposes.

And Bill Clinton met with Loretta Lynch on a plane in Arizona.
This stuff isn’t subtle. The Clintons had all the right kind of meetings with all of the right people and they ensured that Hillary would be above all laws.
That’s the country America has become.
Shock? No. outrage? Buckets full.
Nixon was a Boy Scout compared to these goons.
DRAIN THE SWAMP!
Then roundup the aligators for Cajun food and boot making.
