Senate Committee Launches A New Clinton Investigation
The Daily Caller ^ | 6/4/2017 | Richard Pollock

Posted on 06/04/2017 5:54:05 PM PDT by Voluntaryist

Senate Committee on the Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley has launched a new investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s effort to thwart a Bangladesh government corruption probe of Muhammad Yunus, a Clinton Foundation donor and close friend of the Clintons.

The Iowa Republican’s effort is the first new official inquiry of Clinton since her unexpected loss in the 2016 presidential election to President Donald Trump. Trump’s supporters often chanted “lock her up” during his many boisterous campaign rallies.

But upon assuming the presidency, Trump and leaders of the Republican-majority Congress displayed little appetite for reopening investigations of Clinton’s tenure as the chief U.S. diplomat and multiple persistent allegations of “pay-to-play” corruption involving the Clinton Foundation. Until now.

The Daily Caller News Foundation (TheDCNF) Investigative Group exclusively reported in May that Clinton sent top U.S. diplomats to pressure Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheik Hasina and her son Sajeeb Wazed in an effort to kill that country’s corruption investigation of Yunus and Grameen Bank. Yunus was then managing director of the state-owned Bangladesh bank.

Sponsored Links by In a June 1, 2017, letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Grassley repeated TheDCNF charge that Clinton threatened Wazed with an IRS tax audit if his mother did not back away from the corruption probe. Wazed has lived in the U.S. for 17 years.

“If the Secretary of State used her position to intervene in an independent investigation by a sovereign government simply because of a personal and financial relationship stemming from the Clinton Foundation rather than the legitimate foreign policy interests of the United States, then that would be unacceptable,” Grassley told Tillerson.

“Hillary is not worried.”

With the way the Clinton’s operate, maybe Grassley is the one who needs to be worried.

Start writing these A-holes and show that you want the Investigation Into Nothing to stop. If they want to investigate, investigate Russia’s payoffs to the Clintons.

I am writing a letter to every Republican Congressmen on the Intelligence Committees to put a stop to the coupe attempt.

surprised Trump would go along with such corrupt culture....

He said HE would probably not go after her - and HE isn't. He chose the right people for the right positions to do so - get it yet?

Hopefully Grassley is not as INCOMPTEENT as ISSA, GOWDY, Chaffetz, etc.....PATHETIC REPUBLICAN INTERROGATORS!!!

They can investigate and interrogate - and they have done a great job - BUT THEY can't prosecute....that's the DOJ's job - and they sure couldn't get Holder or Lynch to do it.

get it?

It's a different ball game now - hang on

More people voted for her, then Trump. That should tell you something and the conclusion is bad.

More illegals and double voters voted for her than for Trump.

THAT should tell you something...

Agreed. Or more like, they knew that if between the “never Trump” Republicans, the screeching media and foreign leaders, and themselves, they couldn’t turn off the public to Trump’s message, they were going to lose. But Trump was only expressing what they all have been trying to suppress.

Wrong.

More votes were cast for her, from a tiny percentage of RAT counties. The rest of the map is red.

That should tell you something.
