FBI's Clinton probe expands to public corruption track
2016-01-12
[FOXNEWS] The FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as The Liberatress of Libya and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Edward Everett ...
'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.

Inside the FBI, pressure is growing to pursue the case.

One intelligence source told Fox News that FBI agents would be "screaming" if a prosecution is not pursued because "many previous public corruption cases have been made and successfully prosecuted with much less evidence than what is emerging in this investigation."

#10  Seems to me you would have to do something before the primaries, after they start your hands are tied until she loses the primaries. If she wins I can't see anything going forward.

#9  If the investigation threatens to lead back to the White House and there is no way to stop it then Champ may have no choice but to pardon her. If I was the FBI director I'd be watching my back pretty damn carefully but if anything happens to him, be it resignation or ouster or accident, that's gonna look bad too. Even ABC might have to mention it.

#7  If 0bean pardoned her after she was indicted and before she was elected, I think/hope that would be the end of her and everyone associated with her.

It seems that if a prosecution is on its way, that it would come shortly before the general election. I don't see how the Donks could recover.

#6  Seems to me that any expansion of the investigation is merely a way to delay and dither.

Stretch it all out past the primaries and election, again.

It's a tried and true tactic by the criminals in politics.


But then I'm cynical.

#5  Resignation of the current FBI director in 5..4..3? Or, there is another dem candidate---one favored over Hillary by the current admin---to be unveiled?

#4  Old news, already.

By the numbers.
1. That a brazen lie
2. It's a brazen lie and what difference would it make.
3. Teddy Roosevelt killed mass quantities
4. He is as wanted on 12 systems
5. Bushitler
6. That's old news.
7. America is ready to Move On

#3  I've read that the FBI director is a straight shooter.

We may soon find out if this is true or not. Director Comey is in a rather tough spot. It is my understanding that there is already some some 'smoke in the teepee' at the higher levels at FBI main. As the evidence of wrongdoing continues to mount, it will be very interesting to see what transpires.

As the momentum for a non-establishment candidate continues and democratic defeat appears eminent, the Beest may decide to forgo another defeat scenario and opt out using the medical card.

If a formal indictment or Special Prosecutor surfaces, she may also play the medical card and excuse herself from the electoral process. I suspect this scenario is unlikely, so much so that Comey could even be replaced if it is threatened. In the end, Champ will come to the Beest's rescue. They are after all, birds of a feather.

Both however, are winning scenarios as far as I am concerned.

#2  Grifting is risky at the level you have decided to ascend.

I saw what you had already. So shady.

But what I want to get right is Benghazi.
This needs to be a criminal probe with a special prosecutor at this point.

To excuse this or suggest otherwise will bring more pain.

#1  I've read that the FBI director is a straight shooter. There seems to be overwhelming evidence of wrongdoing by Hillary with respect to her email server. If the same situation exists on the Clinton Foundation then it is going to be hard to restrain the Bureau. AG Lynch will be in a very tough spot. And so will sweet Hilary.
