FBI Sources: Clinton Foundation Case Moving Towards "Likely an Indictment"
2016-11-03
I'll believe if/when I see it. And a post-election Champ just might pardon everyone. It does beg the question of why the New York State AG ordered the Trump Foundation shut down for "irregularities" while letting the Clinton Foundation continue. Then again, I think we all know why...
Fox News Channel's Bret Baier reports the latest news about the Clinton Foundation investigation from two sources inside the FBI. He reveals five important new pieces of information in these two short clips:

1. The Clinton Foundation investigation is far more expansive than anybody has reported so far and has been going on for more than a year.

2. The laptops of Clinton aides Cherryl Mills and Heather Samuelson have not been destroyed, and agents are currently combing through them. The investigation has interviewed several people twice, and plans to interview some for a third time.

3. Agents have found emails believed to have originated on Hillary Clinton's secret server on Anthony Weiner's laptop. They say the emails are not duplicates and could potentially be classified in nature.

4. Sources within the FBI have told him that an indictment is "likely" in the case of pay-for-play at the Clinton Foundation, "barring some obstruction in some way" from the Justice Department.

5. FBI sources say with 99% accuracy that Hillary Clinton's server has been hacked by at least five foreign intelligence agencies, and that information had been taken from it.

#18  @#'s 13 / 15 - Getting the story out that the laptops had been destroyed was, in hindsight, brilliant.

#16  Can't do it JQC, only a MOD has the necessary seniority to deal with FrankG.

#15  #13 The FBI has had AW's computer for nearly 6 weeks if reports are true.

In addition to the AW/HumaA computer, the FBI is reported to have Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson's computers too. Searching the latter computers would imply the immunity agreements have been violated by Mills and Samuelson.

#14  #12 "prongs" should not be used in a Weiner-related comment

Time for a "Go to your room. Frank G."

#13  I can't see any scenario where a Democrat in the Oval Office will allow anyone of any status to be charged with a crime. If Clinton is elected this story will be debunked as media hype and Mitch and Paul will dine in the White House with Hil & Bill.
The FBI has had AW's computer for nearly 6 weeks if reports are true. It's hard to believe they haven't done something by now other than CYA.

#11  Three-prongs to investigation: 1. Weiner schlong problem with underage girls, 2. RICO-level corruption in the CF and CGI, and 3. mishandling (maybe treason and espionage) of classified info?

#9  When the "Obama DOJ" stands for everything but Justice for all, it's pretty hard to demand fielty to their political decrees. Comey should never have said it was "closed" in July but the Weiner investigation saw new info and I think he had to note that. Note Judge Napolitano has been wrong on MANY things before, but never unsure

#8  From Judge Napolitano column"
At the time he sent his Friday letter, Comey had not yet seen the contents of the Weiner laptop because the search warrant authorizing FBI agents to access its contents was not signed until Sunday. If he saw something incriminating before he wrote his letter, he saw it unlawfully; yet his duty was to bring what he saw to the Department of Justice, for which he works, not to hint about it publicly to Congress.
Comey's progress report to Congress is prohibited by the internal regulations of the DOJ and the FBI -- and by the canons of legal ethics that regulate lawyers. Comey had no obligation to send the letter at any time; moreover, sending it last week was a direct violation of DOJ and FBI rules that prohibit all public announcements about candidates for public office within 60 days of Election Day.

#7  @#6: Zero didn't let anything go forward. He may have been aware of the investigations, but could not stop them (although DO"J" appeared to have done their best.).

FBI Directors are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate for 10-year terms. This give some protection against Political influence.

Zero couldn't remove Comey without some seriously nasty evidence. Mr. Comey impresses me as a "Boy Scout" with a squeaky clean CV and, therefore, somewhat immune to dismissal pressure.

It's going to be an interesting 5 days.....

#6  If Zero was going to pardon them anyway, why did he allow the FBI to investigate in the first place? Why has he not fired Comey?

#5  Bobby, think Nixons pardon by Ford, he was never convicted of anything.

#4  O can't pardon her without a conviction, because the Constitution says she is innocent until proven guilty. To pardon her without a conviction of a specific crime would make her look guilty!

#3  Doesn't immunity fade if they find out the person lied.
Posted by: rjschwarz   2016-11-03 00:44  

#2  Gonna be hard to find a mid-range person who doesn't already have immunity...
Posted by: Steve White   2016-11-03 00:35  

#1  Indictment of who is the question. Most likely a mid-range person that is expendable so McKacklepants can take the throne.
