EXCLUSIVE: 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 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.

OK, Game on!
The bad thing about this is that it ought to break during the general election, not during the primaries. If Hillary goes down, we could wind up with a new Democrat nominee who will not be as tainted with scandal. Well, if it’s Bernie, we will win.
the plot sickens. If this is true, this could spell the end of her campaign. No one deserves to be publicly humiliated more than Hillary by being forced out of the race because of her corruption and her illegal activity.
If she does manage to hang on, and ride this thing out, people have to decide whether or not they want as president a woman who will always be bogged down in some sort of scandal or corruption or illegal activities.
Bernie could win Free Stuff
Please, please, please....
And if it’s Martin O’Malley? Joe Biden? Elizabeth Warren?
This is ridiculous. It was a public fraud syndicate. Clinton paid her operatives from her 'charity'.
She called their work 'charity' at times. But they were on the payroll as operatives, and that's what they did.
It would be like the Corleone Crime Syndicate getting to operate as a 501(c)(3) charity.
They do get "imaginative" points for that one.
Biden
I think I’m getting an election.
As much as I distrust and despise all FedGov police forces... this FBI probe could go a long way towards restoring my trust in FBI (only**), if they stay the course and reach the only just conclusion.
** I will ALWAYS despise and distrust the EPA police, USDA police, DHS police, BATF police, etc. Those federal “police forces” are IMO illegal and unconstitutional and I will always oppose them.
” it ought to break during the general election”
Perhaps O wants to get her in hot water sooner so he can offer a pardon before he leaves office... in exchange for her swiss bank account.
Obama uses this as a excuse to get Joe Biden in the race for president. If the Clinton’s try to take anyone down with them there is probably enough wrong doing to throw both Bill and the Hildebeast into jail.
This could take down the liar, the pervert, and Ms Hubble.

Sen Grassley wrote in a June 13 letter: It appears that one of Abedin's clients, the Clinton-connected Teneo Strategies, may have been compensating Ms. Abedin for gathering information from US government sources for the purpose of informing investment decisions of her consulting clients - or in other words, political intelligence. This raises important questions about whether Abedins dual role was adequately disclosed to government officials who may have provided her information without realizing that she was being paid by private investors to gather information.
Grassley's letter recounted:
<><> Abedin allegedly sent or received more than 7,000 emails on her US government account that involved Teneo's Doug Band, a close confidante and travel companion of the globe-trotting Bill clinton;
<><> one email exchange involved Teneo's Doug Band pressuring Abedin to encourage her State Department boss, Hillary Clinton, to facilitate a White House appointment for one of his clients. Judith Rodin, then-president of the Rockefeller Foundation, "donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation," Mr. Band allegedly noted in his email to Ms. Abedin.
<><> email evidence allegedly suggests that Ms. Abedin and another Hillary aide, Cheryl Mills, colluded to find a way to ensure the US govt paid for Ms. Abedin's travel to and from New York.
<><> multiple allegations received by Sen Grassley's Judiciary Committee indicated Abedin had actually taken leave during her time as a govt employee, casting doubt on whether Abedin should have received $33,000 in taxpayer money.
<><> allegations surfaced that the State Dept personnel rule was quietly bent to permit Abedin to collect her government paycheck while wielding her influence to the benefit of her other employers.
<><> Hillary Clinton jetted to Ireland with Abedin at her side for her last official trip before exiting the State Dept, during which Hillary attended an event hosted by a major Clinton Foundation donor that had been promoted by Teneo (for which Abedin then-served as a "consultant")
<><> Abedin's special employment status gave her heavy influence over Hillary Clinton's State Dept daily schedule and travel plans at the same time Abedin served as a senior adviser at Teneo, and performed other duties at the Clinton Foundation.
<><> Abedin using information about Hillary's travel schedule in discussions w/ her clients, could be a serious breach of US ntl security, since even the calendar amd travel plans of the Secy of State is considered classified information.
<><> Abedin was among several key aides to Hillary Clinton that hosted email accounts on a private server in the 2016 presidential candidate's Chappaqua, New York home, in violation of federal records laws.
REFERENCE Abedin worked as a full-time staffer to Hillary Clinton January 2009-June 2012; she was then given a "special government employee" designation and took on roles at the Clinton Foundation and Teneo.That designation is designed to allow individuals who fill "an unmet government need for rare or unique expertise" to retain their private-sector positions while receiving compensation from the government.
Abedin is currently vice-chair of Hillary's presidential campaign committee.
