OBAMA’S DOJ ON INVESTIGATION INTO CLINTON FOUNDATION: “SHUT IT DOWN:” I supposed I’m required to make a “shocked face” reference here, but would rather let the facts speak for themselves. JustTheNews is reporting details about the Clinton Foundation and Obama’s DOJ handcuffing (or just outright suffocating) proper investigations.
“The effort by the IRS to thwart the whistleblower case from going to trial was filed the same week Just the News reported that a bombshell memo recently uncovered by FBI Director Kash Patel shows the Obama Justice Department and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe roadblocked three separate probes into possible pay-to-play corruption allegations against the Clinton Foundation.
“Shut it down,” Obama Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates was quoted as saying in March 2016 in the memos.”
To be sure, there is a bit of irony in the fact that the current DOJ is opposing the whistleblowers’ lawsuit. But as a litigator, IMHO the opposition is not based on any weird motive to “save” Hillary, but instead arguing that because the IRS and DOJ never followed through on investigations (on the direct orders of Sally Yates and Andy McCabe) procedurally, the case is not yet ripe for review.
To me, the important thing is that there will sooner or later be a reckoning of the allegations made against the Clinton Foundation:
“The company has not registered under FARA and receives funds from and works on behalf of foreign governments,” one of the summary documents from the IRS’s initial review stated […] Another allegation the IRS memos mentioned for investigation was that the Clinton Foundation contributed to activities not allowed by its tax-exempt status, including abortions overseas. The ability of U.S. charities to fund abortions overseas is limited by a patchwork of U.S. laws and policies, particularly the Helms Amendment and the Mexico City Policy.”
To quote a great historian: “Oh, boy, is this great!”
