IRS Commissioner John Koskinen referred congressional charges of corrupt Clinton Foundation pay-to-play activities to his tax agencys exempt operations office for investigation, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.
The request to investigate the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation on charges of public corruption was made in a July 15 letter by 64 House Republicans to the IRS, FBI and Federal Trade Commission (FTC). They charged the foundation is lawless.
The initiative is being led by Rep. Marsha Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican who serves as the vice chairwoman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, which oversees FTC. The FTC regulates public charities alongside the IRS.
The lawmakers charged the Clinton Foundation is a lawless pay-to-play enterprise that has been operating under a cloak of philanthropy for years and should be investigated.

“IRS Commissioner John Koskinen referred congressional charges of corrupt Clinton Foundation pay-to-play activities to his tax agencys exempt operations office for investigation...”
This goes nowhere.
ROTFLOL Stop! Stop! My sides oww ohh Stop! Please Stop! LOL
On a very simplistic level (of which 90% of voters are on), this IRS investigation of Clinton, helps Trump. I was concerned when Manifort said today that Trump wouldn’t be releasing his tax returns, but the new Clinton announcement totally neutralizes any argument. It’s a negative on the Clintons and a neutral for Trump.
This ahead of the new ‘email drop’ - the ones dealing with the lost IRS emails?
Time for a secret airport meeting between Koskinen and Bill Clinton to seal the fix.
Nothing to see here. Move on.
Initiated by angry Bernie supporters.
It’s going to be a bare bones investigation, for sure. ;)
We know where this Democratic in-house investigation will wind up. “no reasonable prosecutor would take anyone in the Clinton Foundation to court.”
Rep. Marsha Blackburn heads the inquiry, so there may be hope.
The head of the IRS is an Obama appointee. This investigation will end just like its FBI counterpart.
They want to be able to say that the investigation has been completed and everything was okay....before Trump arrives.
The delay in starting an investigation was caused by the careful manner in which the investigators wrote out the statement completely exonerating the foundation. Now that they have their result, they can begin the probe.
And he's been clean for these 14 years.
Freepers have always been able to break down the crimes of the Clintons.
If they clear the Clintons on this, I’m opening my own “foundation”.
