Several FBI Field Offices' Pushed DOJ to Probe Clinton Foundation After ‘Clinton Cash'
2016-08-12
[Breitbart] While the federal investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was Secretary of State was underway, "several FBI field offices" asked the Justice Department to investigate the murky connections between the State Department and the Clinton Foundation, but were shutdown, according to a report by CNN.
"Several FBI field offices approached the Justice Department asking to open a case regarding the relationship between the State Department and the Clinton Foundation, according to a law enforcement official," CNN said late Wednesday.

"At the time, DOJ declined because it had looked into allegations surrounding the Clinton Foundation around a year earlier and found there wasn’t sufficient evidence to open a case," the report continued.

Federal officials were urging the Justice Department to expanded its probe to the Clinton Foundation following the release of The New York Times bestselling book Clinton Cash, authored by Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer. Clinton Cash first revealed the global nexus of influence peddling involving million dollar donations from foreign entities to the Clinton Foundation that often coincided with favorable State Department actions while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State.

#9  #6 Trump will have to do an Erdogan imitation and purge State, Justice, the CIA, and Defense.

He might consider cleaning up the media too. They have abdicated their role in a free society.

#8  I believe Hillary pretty much promised Lynch a Supreme Court appointment if she would make the 'email' charges go away. Why do you think Bill and Lynch met, in super secrecy, to talk over 'grandchildren'?

The media will howl but we know that both Clinton and Obama purged those departments his first term in office. If Trump doesn't get rid of the spies and true believers in those departments, his Presidency will be a rerun of both Georges (who played nice and didn't purge those departments in an attempt to show bi-partisan cooperation)

#5  Lunch should be frog marched out of her office for obstruction. Same goes for much of Clinton's staff, and the senior leadership at the IRS.

Never going to happen.

"We totally asked Cheryl Mills if there was anything hinky going on and she assured us 'no'. Case closed"

#3  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Hillary Clintobn said that Loretta Lynch would be an exceptional candidate for the Supreme Court.

#2  All roads eventually lead to Obama, then to his puppet masters. Therefore, he must remain stainless, without blemish, and pure.

#1  At this point Loretta Lynch is obstructing justice rather than furthering it--the worst kind of political hack. Some pundit recently said they yearned for the Eric Holder days. I can't get on board for that. Holder was held in criminal and civil of Congress for lying--another obstructionist of the law.
