hotair | Finally, let’s stop focusing on the fact that this meeting was inappropriate because Clinton’s wife
is under investigation by Lynch’s Justice Department. I mean, that’s
bad, but it’s actually letting Lynch and Clinton off the hook a bit. By
focusing on the appearance of conflict because Hillary Clinton is being investigated, we are willfully overlooking the very real conflict in the fact that Clinton himself is under investigation, as the Grand Poo-bah at the Clinton Foundation. (Fox News)
The FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’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 new investigative 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.
Yes, the investigation into the intersection of Clinton Foundation
donations and the State Department slimes Hillary Clinton since it
happened during her tenure as Secretary of State, but what about Bill
Clinton? If the State Department and Hillary Clinton acted improperly or
illegally by commingling staff and by granting favors to Clinton
Foundation donors, isn’t the Clinton Foundation, and Bill Clinton
equally guilty of wrongdoing?
This may explain why the day after the surreptitious meeting in
Phoenix, Lynch’s Justice Department informed a judge they were going to drag their feet on the release of emails connecting the former president’s foundation and the State Department: (Daily Caller)
Department of Justice officials filed a motion in federal court late Wednesday seeking a 27-month delay in producing correspondence between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s four top aides and officials with the Clinton Foundation and Teneo Holdings, a closely allied public relations firm that Bill Clinton helped launch.
If the court permits the delay, the public won’t be able to read the communications until October 2018, about 22 months into her prospective first term as President. The four senior Clinton aides involved were Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Michael Fuchs, Ambassador-At-Large Melanne Verveer, Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, and Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin.
I guess when all of this adds up, it’s clear why Lynch and her FBI
agents were so intent on keeping this inappropriate meeting private.
