FBI Said To Probe If Hillary Clinton Violated Public Corruption Laws
In what may be the latest bad news for Hillary Clinton, whose various "previous life" scandals - from emails, to Clinton foundation donations - refuse to go away, the Hill reports, citing Fox News, that the FBI has expanded its investigation of Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server during her time as secretary of State to determine whether her Clinton Foundation work violated public corruption laws.
As The Hill caveats, the original Fox report is based on accounts by three unnamed sources. With that disclaimer in place, The Hill goes on to cite Fox that "the agents are investigating the possible intersection of Clinton Foundation donations, the dispensation of State Department contracts and whether regular processes were followed."
Until now, the FBI's investigation has been focused on the classified information shared in the emails. However, that may change. One of the Fox sources said that the FBI is especially eager to pursue a high-profile public corruption case in the wake of what they believe was overly lenient treatment of former CIA Director David Petraeus — who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor last year for mishandling classified information after it was revealed that he had given classified information to his mistress.
Clinton, who is the front-runner in the Democratic primary has denied knowingly sending or receiving classified information over her private server.
Critics of Clinton have questioned whether her work with her family's foundation during her time as secretary of State may have constituted a conflict of interest, and whether the foundation's donors wielded influence over her while she was in office.
Those critics are likely accurate following a report last week from The Intercept which calculated that according to public disclosures, by giving just 12 speeches to Wall Street banks, private equity firms, and other financial corporations, Clinton made $2,935,000 from 2013 to 2015:
To be sure, without this table the world would not have such exciting photo-ops as the one shown below, to understand just who the next US president is beholden to:
Intercept then added some amusing color to the above tabulation:
Clinton’s most lucrative year was 2013, right after stepping down as secretary of state. That year, she made $2.3 million for three speeches to Goldman Sachs and individual speeches to Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley, Fidelity Investments, Apollo Management Holdings, UBS, Bank of America, and Golden Tree Asset Managers.
The following year, she picked up $485,000 for a speech to Deutsche Bank and an address to Ameriprise. Last year, she made $150,000 from a lecture before the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.
To put these numbers into perspective, compare them to lifetime earnings of the median American worker. In 2011, the Census Bureau estimated that, across all majors, a “bachelor’s degree holder can expect to earn about $2.4 million over his or her work life.” A Pew Research analysis published the same year estimated that a “typical high school graduate” can expect to make just $770,000 over the course of his or her lifetime.
This means that in one year — 2013 — Hillary Clinton earned almost as much from 10 lectures to financial firms as most bachelor’s degree-holding Americans earn in their lifetimes — and nearly four times what someone who holds only a high school diploma could expect to make.
All of the above excludes the over one hundred millions others have spent to legally bribe and otherwise purchase goodwill from the person many anticipate will be the next US president.
Which brings us to square 1: if the FBI does indeed crack down on Hillary for "violating public corruption laws", then it will have to likewise charge every other US politician, all of whom are nothing more than muppets for sale to the highest corporate bidder. It just so happens that the biggest source of funds when purchasing political goodwill, happens to be on Wall Street, which also explains the unprecedented bailout of Wall Street during the Great Financial Crisis.

They will "find" her not guilty of wrong-doing.
Hang the bitch! ;-)
Looney
Naa, she's hardcore Marxist. Put a bullet in her brain (wherever it's located) and make Bill pay for the bullet......
Don't forget about this email that should be front page news.

I guess its clear that Goldman supports her.
wonder if my buddy, RICO, knows about this...
"FBI" "Probe" "Laws"
The real question is 'Why doesn't the FBI arrest her before she commits another crime?'
Answer: Because she's going to be their boss soon and they want to keep their cushy jobs.
Under what department does the FBI operate? And who heads that department? No chance in hell anything will happen. Better odds of winning 1.3B in the powerball.
Yep, the FBI is a bit player in this kabuki.
Does the kenyan nigger want to destroy her, or doesn't he? That is the question. If he decides to support the party, the FBI will clear her of all wrongdoing. If he hates her enough, she will be indicted. That is all there is to it.
Hillary has a vagina, so it's obvious she did notrhing wrong.
I'm telling you this guy is protected from up on high by the Prince of Darkness.
Kaiser who?
It is all to clear her.
Corruption would involve multiple two-party dealings. They would have to go after the donors too at some point - this will never happen
"She had a cold..."
Paraphrase of what was said of Yuri Andropov before...you know...
A Criminal Fraud UNITED STATES, CORP. INC. subsidiary "FBI" investigating another Criminal Treasonist Psychopath Hillary.
It's a Criminal System, run by Crimianls & owned by Criminals.
Case Closed.
Arrest, Tri, Convict & Execute the Cunt in our Free Rublic Courts.
Honestly, how do you single out Hillary for "public corruption" when the entire Federal Government is bought-and-paid-for? If you pull on this thread, the entire sweater is going to unravel.
This just seems like a distraction from the email server prosecution, which is a straightforward, slam-dunk, felony conviction. And maybe that's the point-- dilute the FBI's attention and resources so they wind up with nothing by going after everything.
Saving face. That's all it is. The government can say they "investigated," and thus Hilary can "put this behind her" as she "ascends to the SCHLONG" excuse me, "throne."
Perhaps Impeachment is an experience to be shared between husband and wife.
Why would you recommend hanging, when you brought a guillotine? It is sometimes said, your first thoughts are the best.

Probe the Insufferable Cunt
Witch hunter type probing before the ducking chair ?
It would be the first prick she has probably seen since Chelsea was conceived.
isn't that what Huma's been doing with the strap-on for the last decade?
Keep her on the ballot!
The time has come to elect a President that is a traitor, tax cheat, fraudster and all around evil souled person. Oh wait? This isn't 2008 is it?
The FBI is not a monolith, people get sorted by what they are willing to do or overlook.
Osama Bin Ladin is still cited by the FBI as having anyting to do with 9/11, which I interpret as honest insiders resisting the Israeli-Neocons in the CIA.
There are good Amerians who value the Constitution everywhere.
When middle America starts beating pots and pans at 9PM, Israeli-Neocons start closing up shop and visitng Israel for an indefinite visit. The Deep State and police forces cannot resist us, we outnumber them, out gun them, out innovate them.
Give the risk takers cover, we can start ending this reigh of terror-producers.
Well, I'm not getting my hopes too high but here are a couple of salient articles outlining her treason.

I recommend at least reading the last article posted and ask yourself how the fuck that information got to Blumenthol? If NSA is this corrupt, and they most likely are given their relationship with Israel, how the fuck can we break free of this shit show?

Does a bear shit in the woods?
Yep, you got that right everyone. People pay to hear and be close to this woman.
I'm not lying.

Exactly, Brainwashed, MK Ultra'd Sheep applauding Open Criminality, Treason & War Crimes. Chilling to say the least.
Sorry, but they could give two shits what she thinks. Just a favor to be paid back at a later date.
Hilly is an innocent lamb Baaaaaa!
If the powers in DC want to stem the rising tide of anger pointed their direction, a great start would be imposing the law at all levels of society.

Hillary is corruption.
Besides her Lesbianism she is rotten to the core.
After all the pussy she's eaten, by now she's got to be like one giant bag of HPV.
Don't be standing next to her when she pops!
@ Yogi,
Hillary is a Criminal.
There, fixed it for you. And, please stop sugar coating it with the word "Corruption."
While they are at it, i think they should also probe the person that picks out her outfits everyday!
Not Too Big To Jail.
Corruption is OK if Hillary is the one that's corrupt.
Not enough lipstick in the world to make this pig look good.
This has been the real story all along; the security violations are just icing. She put the country's government for sale, the ear and the office of SecState on the block for any teapot dictator that could pay Bill's speaking fee. 20% of Dems would vote Trump - this could put that number at 30% (which leaves a mindnumbing 70% that would vote for that pig-eyed sack of shit).
Most Dems are brain dead from the non-stop brain washing of the TV. They do what they are told. My people die for lack of knowledge.
and amazingly enough, this story breaks as bernie sanders has caught-up to her in iowa and is leading in new hampshire. if the democratic party whinds-up nominating a socialist, its a real fucking sad day for the democratic party. even sader state of the U.S. demographic as a whole in-that you will essentially have at least roughly 40-45% of the country voting for a guy who would have no problem with 70-90% tax rates & giving away "free shit" to those who ask for it (vote for him). i mean, after all, isn't this what the founders/framers of this country were running / went to war over getting away from?
Independents make up over a third now. So you have a half of a third. 16.65% Dems that are out of their mind, not that the other 16.65% that support Hillary aren't out of their mind either. Don't forget a good piece of that is College "kids" that haven't had the cold hand of reality slap their face yet.
