Clintonworld’s Top 5 Active FBI Investigations

November 7, 2016 by John Hayward

There are enough active investigations of Hillary Clinton and her inner circle to merit a list of the most important ones. In short, just about everyone tied to Hillary Clinton is the subject of a serious investigation. Not all of them were are the beneficiaries of those curious preemptive immunity deals tossed around by FBI leadership, to the consternation of some agents.

1. Clinton Email Scandal: As everyone knows, this supposedly de-railed investigation was dramatically hoisted back onto the rails by none other than Anthony Weiner – the accused pedophile who ended up with a huge trove of State Department emails on his computer, which the FBI seized because Weiner has been sending sexually explicit messages to a 15-year-old girl.

Not only is the Clinton email investigation back on the rails, it’s chugging along at high speed. It was reported on Monday that the FBI has “accelerated its timeline” for reviewing Weiner emails linked to Clinton.

2. The Anthony Weiner Investigation: The poor judgment displayed by Hillary Clinton in allowing vital government emails to slip onto Anthony Weiner’s computer is absolutely breathtaking.

Furthermore, Clinton’s top aide Huma Abedin has trotted out the shopworn all-purpose Obama administration excuse that she knew nothing about the situation until she heard it reported on the news. That should disqualify her from ever obtaining any sort of security clearance, if Hillary Clinton had not already rendered information security a joke.

Both Abedin and Clinton could be in legal jeopardy, depending on what emails the FBI finds lurking in the diseased corners of Weiner’s laptop. Weiner himself is absolutely in jeopardy, the kind that puts perverts in jail for long stretches of time. He has every reason to make a deal with law enforcement.

He might have a lot to deal with. How did 650,000 State Department emails end up on his computer? The simplest explanation might be that Carlos Danger (as he once liked to be called) was stockpiling leverage to use against his now-estranged wife and her boss, The Smartest Woman Who Ever Lived.

3. The Clinton Foundation Probe: We’ve learned an FBI probe of the Clinton Foundation for possible financial crimes and influence peddling has been in progress for over a year. As the Wall Street Journal put it, some of the investigators were “frustrated” because FBI leadership seemed “uninterested in probing the charity.”

This is an investigation that could rope in a lot of people in Clinton’s inner circle, besides Hillary and Bill Clinton themselves. Abedin is a player, and so is Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, and another key aide, Philippe Reines. Bill Clinton’s old “body man” Doug Band – basically the Littlefinger of Bill Clinton’s financial empire, for you Game of Thrones fans – and even Chelsea Clinton could end up answering some tough questions.

Much will depend on whether the Clinton Foundation is scrutinized in isolation, or whether charges of influence peddling are pursued, at which point Hillary Clinton’s entire retinue from her days in the Senate and State Department would have reason to feel nervous.

4. The Podesta Brothers: Most of those WikiLeaks bombshells the Clinton media is ignoring with such furious intensity are to, from, or copied to John Podesta, the CEO of Hillary Clinton’s campaign, and probably the most powerful figure in Clintonworld not named “Clinton.”

In one of the latest WikiLeaks revelations, Podesta is caught telling Cheryl Mills, “We are going to have to dump all those emails,” and it would be “better to do so sooner than later.” That sounds ominously like a conspiracy to destroy evidence in multiple federal criminal investigations, depending of course on which emails he was talking about, and what he meant by “dumping” them.

Podesta’s brother Tony, and the brothers’ Podesta Group lobbying firm, are involved in an FBI corruption investigation related to the deposed president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych. The allegations boil down to illegal lobbying activities. Former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort also has a company that figures in the same investigation, so people across the 2016 political battlefield get to feel nervous about this one – but Podesta’s pipeline into the Clinton machine means more highly-placed people in her camp could become part of the investigation.

5. Terry McAuliffe’s Campaign Donations: The Clintons’ old friend Terry McAuliffe, currently the governor of Virginia, has been under FBI investigation for over a year by the Public Integrity unit over campaign fundraising and donations. Part of that investigation involves his time with the Clinton Global Initiative.

The events of greatest interest, until now, were some curious foreign donations, but now we’ve got the eye-popping sums of money McAuliffe steered to Virginia state senate candidate Jill McCabe, whose husband just happens to be Andrew McCabe, who just happens to be a top FBI official, and who just happened to end up in charge of the Clinton Foundation investigation.

This controversy doesn’t seem to be fading despite rote denials of impropriety and swift media assurances it was all a big nothingburger. Some of those dismissals are based on Jill McCabe receiving her pile of McAuliffe money before her husband became involved with an FBI investigation of the Clintons, but not all of it was donated before that point, and it hardly strains credulity to assert that the Clinton machine was making down-payments for favors it knew full well it would need later.

There have been calls for McCabe to recuse himself from the Clinton Foundation probe, and House Oversight Committee chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) has a few questions.

The fascinating thing about these five investigations is not just that so many prominent people from the Clintons’ orbit are caught up in them – the UK Daily Mail suggests a few more, lower-profile names – but that all of these cases could have trails leading to Anthony Weiner’s computer.

It will take a long time to go through all the material of interest, but meanwhile Weiner has suddenly become the key figure in Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid. It seems safe to say nobody saw that coming.

Clintonworld is looking like a carload of bandits in a chase film from the 1970s, heading for the state line with pedal to the metal, a swarm of cop cars roaring through the dust right behind them. Can Hillary Clinton and her crew hit the White House in a squeal of shredding tires and win total political immunity before the law catches up with them? Stay tuned for the big finale on Election Day!

FBI Clinton Foundation Probe Finds ‘Avalanche’ Of Corruption Evidence Against Hillary

November 4, 2016 by Francesca Chambers, White House Correspondent For Dailymail.com

But agents fear Justice Department will stop her going on trial

• Clintons are accused of running a pay-for-play operation out of State that favored donors to their charity – a charge they have denied
• Feds are ‘actively and aggressively pursuing’ a case, Fox’s Bret Baier said Wednesday, and they have an ‘avalanche’ of evidence
• FBI’s pursuit of the case is rooted in recordings of a suspect in a different corruption case who spoke about foundation’s alleged dirty dealings
• The FBI, under the leadership of director James Comey, believed those conversations were enough to move forward with the probe
• Justice Department prosecutors disagreed because the source was not an employee of the Clinton Foundation
• The law enforcement agency has at least four other investigations open that involve the Clintons and their close friends, as well 

An FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation is advancing rapidly – unless the Justice Department interferes, two sources familiar with the probe told Fox News.

The Clintons are accused of running a pay-for-play operation out of the State Department that favored donors to their charity – a charge they have denied.

But the feds are ‘actively and aggressively pursuing this case,’ Fox’s Brit Hume and Bret Baier reported Wednesday, and they have an ‘avalanche’ of evidence.

A Wall Street Journal report says the FBI’s pursuit of the case is rooted in recordings of a suspect in a different corruption case who spoke about the Clinton Foundation’s alleged dirty dealings.

Hillary Clinton boards her campaign plane at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix today. Coincidentally, she was taking off from the same airport that her husband met Loretta Lynch at in June for a tete-a-tete that caused headaches for both sides.

The FBI, lead by James Comey, is ‘actively and aggressively pursuing this case,’ the sources said. Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s Justice Department keeps telling the FBI to stand down, a second report revealed

The FBI’s pursuit of the case is rooted in recordings of a suspect in a different corruption case who spoke about the Clinton Foundation’s alleged dirty dealings

The FBI, under the leadership of director James Comey, believed those conversations were enough to move forward with the probe, the Journal says. Justice Department prosecutors disagreed because the source was not an employee of the Clinton Foundation.

They considered the talk to be hearsay and did not think it would be enough to sway a grand jury.

Fox is now reporting that federal investigators have collected ‘a lot of’ evidence, including Wikileaks emails to and foundation officials.

The law enforcement agency has at least four other investigations open that involve the Clintons and their close friends, as well.

The FBI’s probe into the foundation is much larger than has previously been reported, the network says. Some witnesses are being interviewed for a third time.

It is a ‘very high priority,’ Fox’s sources said.

The Journal says that as recently as August 12 the FBI was told to stand down by DOJ in a terse phone call.

‘Are you telling me that I need to shut down a validly predicated investigation?’ the FBI’s deputy director Andrew McCabe reportedly replied. The Justice Department official on the other end of the line said, ‘Of course not.’

That was before Wikileaks began publishing hacked emails from Clinton confidante John Podesta’s account ripping the lid off foundation operations.

McCabe’s wife’s Virginia senate campaign was backed heavily by a political action committee belonging to the Clintons’ close friend Terry McAuliffe. Hillary Clinton headlined a fundraiser for the PAC, Common Good VA, a month before it started donating to the FBI official’s spouse.

The McAuliffe PAC gave Jill McCabe $467,000 for her losing bid. The Virginia Democratic Party donated another $207,788 to her. All told, McCabe received $675,000 from the two entities.

Andrew McCabe was promoted to his current position at the FBI in February, around the time the bureau and DOJ began to butt heads over the Clinton Foundation.

Republicans have suggested McCabe went too soft on Clinton in her email investigation, which ended last summer without an indictment but restarted last week as new messages were uncovered, because of their personal connection.

House Oversight Committee chairman Jason Chaffetz reportedly asked McCabe to recuse himself from the case.

The Wall Street Journal’s reporting indicates that the Justice Department, led by Attorney General Loretta Lynch, is holding up the Clinton Foundation probe.

In February, the FBI presented its case to DOJ public-integrity prosecutors. Lawyers at the Justice Department thought the case against the Clinton Foundation was too weak.

‘The message was, “We’re done here,” ‘ a Journal source said.

Don’t Forget: the Communist Party USA Endorsed Hillary Clinton!

By Jerry Johnson November 7, 2016

Hillary Clinton has proudly received the endorsement of the Communist Party USA!  Why do I say “proudly”?  Well, as far as I know, she has never denounced the endorsement.

Communism is a hateful, envious political philosophy which has led to the deaths of millions of people worldwide.

“You recall the Communists, yes? The folks who produced Stalin and Mao [and Putin]? The advocates of a political philosophy that is described in The Black Book of Communism as being responsible for ‘between 85 million and 100 million’ deaths? in ‘the most colossal case of political carnage in history.’ Ring a bell? The Soviet Union? The Cold War? The Iron Curtain? Korea? Vietnam? The Khmer Rouge? Come on, you remember.” —USNews.com

I’m betting most of you never heard that Hillary received this endorsement.  Why?  Because Hillary’s media refused to cover they story and they didn’t want to give a black eye to their candidate.

Writing for NewsBusters.org, Jeffrey Lord notes,

“So with all this attention to Trump on David Duke, surely you read the news about John Bachtell, right? He endorsed Hillary, and the headlines were everywhere. Oh, wait, sorry. Mr. Bachtell’s Hillary endorsement was apparently not newsy enough to make the mainstream media headlines.  Curious, yes? If the endorsement of Trump by the ex-head of the Ku Klux Klan is big news, one would expect a Hillary endorsement by the [current] head of the Communist Party USA would be a big deal as well.”

Seriously!  The Communist Party’s racist policies in Russia during the reign of Stalin led to the murder of millions of Jews in a bloody frenzy that made Hitler and the Nazi’s green with envy.

Just to be fair, The Washington Times ran a brief story (and by brief I mean a few paragraphs), but it wasn’t picked up by the lame-street media. And even though the article was brief, there are a few quotable mentions.

Communist Party USA Chairmen John Bachtell “…said in a lengthy essay for ‘People’s World’ that America needed a third political party committed to uphold labor — but until that time comes, communists ought to work with Democrats, especially in the coming elections.” — WashingtonTimes.com

“It’s true both parties are dominated by Wall Street interests … [but] the Democratic Party is also home to labor, African Americans, Latinos, other communities of color, women, most union members, young people and a wide range of social and democratic movements … [and] labor and other key social forces are not about to leave the Democratic Party anytime soon…This necessarily means working with the Democratic Party,” Bachtell wrote. — ibid.

Though most Democrats would not be full-fledged Communist, the Communist Party USA has a kinship with them due to the extreme socialist tendencies within the DNC.

Socialism is the first and kissing cousin of communism.  And it was the Democrat Party in which Bernie Sanders found his base of support.

“…the communist goal wasn’t to ‘build the Democratic Party,’ but rather ‘the broad people’s movement led by labor that utilizes the vehicle of the Democratic Party to advance its agenda.” — ibid.

“And the way to do that, he said, was to grab the support of those ‘people that can help shape election contours and debates … [and] building movements in the electoral arena.’” — ibid.

Where is the outrage?
