No surprise at the Democrat rot that infests the DOJ and many other Washington DC bureaucracies. They protect their own at the risk of making a mockery of our institutions.
The whistleblower affidavits, internal emails and other documents reveal that then-FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe and others “obstructed investigative activities” into Hillary and Bill Clinton’s main philanthropic organization, Grassley said in a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi laying out the findings.
Two months before the investigation began, in Janaury 2016, McCabe’s wife, Dr. Jill McCabe, had accepted more than $675,000 in “monetary contributions” and “in-kind contributions” from a political action committee run by then-Virginia Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe — a Clinton Foundation board member — and the Democratic Party of Virginia’s main fundraising committee.
McCabe recused himself from the FBI investigation in November 2016, but not before officials told an agent in the bureau’s Criminal Investigative Division that “based on the sensitivities surrounding the Clinton Foundation,” agents were barred from subpoenaing “additional records related to the Foundation [or] the Clintons,” “conduct[ing] any interviews related to the Foundation or the Clintons” or “shar[ing] any of the Foundation bank account info with any other offices,” Grassley noted.
Other emails obtained by the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman found the FBI did “not want to create any impression we are investigating the Clinton Foundation or the Clintons,” a directive that came from “higher, i.e., the DD [deputy director].”
Additionally, documents from September and November 2016 showed that the Manhattan US Attorney’s Office obtained a search warrant for former Rep. Anthony Weiner’s laptop and requested a briefing on it as part of its separate “Midyear Exam” probe into Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified information while secretary of state.
