| Why you should take the new corruption investigation into the Clinton Foundation seriously |
| 2016-08-13 |
| BLUF: [Hot Air] Now, I know what you’re thinking. Why bother? Even if they turn up anything the DoJ will just toss it into the trash anyway, the same as they did with Huma Abedin’s embezzlement charges, right? Nobody could blame you for thinking that, but in this case you just may turn out to be wrong. The reason for that is the name of the individual who kicked this thing off in the Empire State in the first place: Preet Bharara. If you’re not familiar with Preetinder Singh "Preet" Bharara ‐ the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, centered on New York City and surrounding counties ‐ then you haven’t been following our ongoing coverage of his prosecution of numerous New York elected officials over the past few years. The man is absolutely fearless when it comes to persons of political power and maintains a reputation for the apolitical pursuit of justice generally only applied to the movie version of Eliot Ness. He’s knee deep into multiple investigations of corruption by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio while simultaneously digging through the offices of Governor Andrew Cuomo himself, as well as the entire executive branch of state government. |

| #11 Preet Bharara is the guy who subpoenaed Reason magazine to turn over the identities of some of the commenters on its blog. A federal judge did something fishy (forgotten what), and several commenters opined that "she ought to be taken out back and shot" or "she ought to be fed into the woodchipper". This was "threatening a federal official". I also believe Bharara slapped a gag order on Reason so they couldn't talk about this on their own site. |

| #10 Mr. Bharara should avoid subways and long walks along the rivers and parks. |

| #9 Wake me when she's actually indicted. That would be a truly epic "Ethel! My pills!" moment. |

| #7 Any cop can tell you "I've seen worse..." In this instance, that might be stretching it, but only a bit... |

| #4 Even if Preet is serious why should I expect anyone else to be? They've already killed the e-mail investigation. This will be no different. This will easily be dragged out past November and then she'll be president elect and/or pardoned by Obola for everything and anything. Nothing will come of any of this. Obola and his regime have put the final nails in the coffin of the rule of law. |

| #3 If you’re not familiar with Preetinder Singh "Preet" Bharara I wonder if he's on Twitter. |

| #2 The man is absolutely fearless when it comes to persons of political power and maintains a reputation for the apolitical pursuit of justice generally only applied to the movie version of Eliot Ness. Then one of the industries bankrolling Clinton - or one of the public sector unions - will have him shot. If you don't get that, you don't get 2016 America. |
