It was just reported this week that the Justice Department turned down Federal Bureau of Investigation requests to investigate the hyper-corrupt Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.

Federal Bureau of Investigation officials wanted to investigate whether there was a criminal conflict of interest with the State Department and the Clinton Foundation during Clinton’s tenure. Victor Pinchuk had also made donations to the Clinton foundation. She goes on to denote herself as a “loyal friend” and again asks for the friend to be seriously considered.
Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group, released 296 pages of emails from the Democratic presidential nominee, including 44 that Judicial Watch says were not previously handed over to the State Department by Clinton.
An investigation had also been considered previous year after the publication of the book “Clinton Cash”. “The idea that this poses a conflict of interest is absurd”.
Why did the Federal Bureau of Investigation recommend that the Department open a case on the Clinton Foundation? Another, $42,000 was donated to the Desert Classic Charities, a non-profit that organizes the Carebuilder Challenge charity golf tournament with the Clinton Foundation.
The emails cover mainly the first three months of Clinton holding the office of Secretary of State – and precede those comments she made during a trip to a number of African countries in which she condemned government corruption.
Bill’s role in a potential Hillary Clinton administration ought to deserve special scrutiny, given his ties to the Clinton Foundation and the fact that he has been cagey about how his relationship to the foundation would change if Hillary is elected president. He was an early supporter of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 bid for president, giving maximum contributions to her campaign, and to HillPAC, in 2007 and 2008. After Barack Obama bested Clinton for the 2008 nomination, Fernando became a major fundraiser for the Obama campaign. Clinton has refused to release the transcripts of those speeches. The emails show how the Clinton Charitable Foundation worked to reward its donors with access and influence at the State Depertment.

Both the former secretary of state and her husband listed speaking and writing in the occupation box of their married-filing-jointly 1040. Mrs. Clinton has acted improperly-perhaps even criminally. However, on the other hand, we have Donald J. Trump, a man who makes outlandish, controversial, bigoted statements, who may or may not be wholly unqualified for the office, and who operates outside of accepted, predictable norms. As you know, he’s a key guy there and to us and is loved in Lebanon.
