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.

The only real solution to this problem is scorched earth. When they all gather together, that's the time to strike.

2016 - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania...
but the media told me banks are run by republicans
Put all the financial crooks in prison. I have a feeeling we'll do just fine without them.
Please keep flooding the internet with pictures of Hillary and the banking executives as well as John Corzine.
thanks!
The fuck you mean " If " ...really?
Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether she broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with the classified protocols - she did. :winks: But you can't hold a two party system responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole system? And if the whole system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our institutions in general? I put it to you, - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to her, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen! [Otter, Animal House]

I have come not to praise Caesar, but to bury him . . . For they are all honorable men .
Undeniable. But that will also leave no doubt in the sheeples minds of the two forms of "justice" in the system today.
Theirs and then ours.
I hope she rots in prison.
In any event, if she drops out of the race, it will be for "health" reasons.
You can forget any meaningful prosecution.
Hillary has MS. She won't last a full term no matter how many infusions of Libyan baby blood she inhales straight from the tap each morning.
Two likely outcomes:
1) They will investigate right up until the statute of limitations and then find nothing right before it expires.
2) They will investigate and find her guilty of no wrongdoing.
Not a likely outcome:
3) Hillary actually gets prosecuted.
At this point, she is too valuable to the establishment as a last-ditch hope against Trump for them to allow little things like the FBI and the Law get in her way.
There are NO Stature of Limitations for War Crimes, Treason.
Still won't stop her stupid supporters from voting for her (not that it matters). If anything ever comes from this (which it won't) I'll be shocked.
Who would "probe" hitlery?

They just need to stop, the bitch should have been swinging by a rope a long time ago. She will get a pass, corruption,theft,murder are a Clintion/D.C. way of life.
Most likely they'll end up giving the cunt an award.
On Beelzebub's scale of pure evil(1-10) Hillery rates a 10+
put her hobbit fat ass in jail and my opinion of the doj and fbi will go up six notches from the bowels of hell overnight.
She looks like a fat pear
My eyes!!!
Banksters paid $2.4M just 'cause they like hearing the sound of her voice.
Banksters paid $2.4M for funnelling hundreds of billlions of $$$ into their accounts.
Anyone who "forgets" to report a $10 million "foundation" contribution to IRS ... would NEVER break any other law or process for money, would they?

Famed attorney Alan Dershowitz has retained former President Bill Clinton’s FBI director to help show Clinton was not present at alleged sex orgies thrown by his former client, a convicted pedophile and close Clinton friend.Clinton’s friendship with a convicted child sex predator, Jeffrey Epstein, again is coming under increased scrutiny, thanks in part to a recent civil lawsuit for defamation filed in Florida against Dershowitz by representatives for two of Epstein’s alleged victims. Dershowitz served as Epstein’s lawyer during Epstein’s criminal trial.
Not only has Bill Clinton’s name come up in the court proceedings, but Dershowitz, one of the key figures in the case, says that he cannot conclusively deny that Clinton was present at lavish sex orgies thrown on a Caribbean island by Epstein. What’s more, one of the victims said that Bill Clinton in fact was present at an Epstein island orgy.
Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting prostitution from a minor. Though he was represented at trial by Dershowitz, he still had to serve 13 months in prison on an 18-month sentence.
Flight logs also connect Clinton as they show he made multiple trips on Epstein’s private plane, including a September 2002 jaunt to Africa with actor buddies Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker. So does Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts, who claimed that she was used as a sex slave by Epstein and his friends, said that she met Bill Clinton on one of his trips with Epstein when she was only seventeen, but that she did not have sex with him.
Super-lawyer and Clinton and Epstein pal Dershowitz recently testified in circuit court in Broward County, Florida. Transcripts of his testimony reveal that Clinton administration FBI chief Louis Freeh has been called in to run interference. Freeh served as FBI director from 1993 to 2001, during almost the entirety of the Clinton presidency.
Freeh is representing Dershowitz , who recently has been at the center of civil claims involving allegations that he had sex with underage women on Epstein’s private plane and at parties on Epstein’s private island, including at times when Clinton also was on the island.
I don't give a fuck about her server, I don't give a fuck about Bengazi. Let's focus on what matters, she is one of the most corrupt high level politicians on the entire planet.
I see I made a new friend
Americans need to start asking how all those Congress people got so rich while they were in Office..
who am i Kidding go back to your Sports people, loose your job more time to watch TV win win for you Loosers
Imagine paying all that money to listen to an audible cunt! You know that these bankers can't stand her one let alone barely look at her but to actually listen to her is just as nails on a chalkboard makes one want to wretch.
I suspect even lesbians have to hold their breath when it coms to Hillary. I mean who would want toddle in that gulley is beyond me?
Hillary Jane Rottencrotch wants to fist for the American people. And no that is not a typo!!!
For the record I tried
2.9 M for her to speak...what would it cost for her to shut the fuck up? Go fund me page?
Maybe Obama can put Ken Lay on this matter in order to investigate thoroughly.
ken starr, not ken lay
and her old friend that smuggled documents in his pants just passed away.
David Bowie?
One theory: If it looks like Trump is going to win the GOP, and the only one who could stop him in the general election would be Hillary, then Hillary will NOT be indicted.
A Trump vs Hillary could be "arranged" for a Hillary "win" regardless of the actual vote, because the vote might be close enough to rig it in favor of Hillary, whereas Trump vs Sanders or an alternative would be too big a popular landslide to rig a Sanders/Bush win.
Trump will tear her apart and then have her indicted after he wins.
Her only hope to stave off prosecution is Alzheimers.

(& her kool-aid drinking supporters actually believe blm stands for something else!)
"Conflict of Interest"
Is there any other political interests?
I've been saying all along that the Clinton Foundation exists to launder the money made from selling US foreign policy to the highest bidder.
And don't forget the bribes to be had by the military-industrial complex who also benefit from all these go aheads for sale of military hardware to these donors's countries.
Yes, "speaking fees" is a euphemism for "bribe."
Perhaps Blankfien wanted to tap her knowledge of cattle futures?
She sold us out. It's banana republic shit, what she pulled. Unbelievable to have come from the "greatest nation in the world." And still she's got a good shot at becoming President of the United States. There apparently is no amount of corruption that can disqualify her.
That look on Blankfein's face says only one thing; I OWN YOU!
But also look at Hillary's expression. She is having an orgasm thinking about the amount of money she is going to make with Blackfein.
Grifters
Why this fucking cunt of a supposed human being has not been;
Jailed
Shot
Strangled
Stabbed
Beaten to the point of leaving her a mass of goo
...is beyond me
That's because you have not sold your soul to Satan yet. Otherwise, you'd understand completely.
Hills is gonna love that Federal Prision Snatch.... riiightttt... Obozo will pardon her...what was I thinking...
I could forgive him anything except the following:
Not leaving office on 1/20/17
Pre-emptively pardoning Hillary a la Richard Nixon.
Although it would be deliciously ironic for her.
Has William Banzai done an Orange is the New Black meme yet?
It may be possible that Director Comey has decided not to side with the part of the deep state that is pushing for HRC. His comments on the refugee vetting process during a congressions hearing was the first indication. There may be more or less unknown and undeclared heroes for liberty scattered throughout Government.
As always, the Clinton crime family breaks new ground in corruption on an annual basis.
The purpose of the Clinton Cash Foundation is to proactively hoover up political payoffs BEFORE she gets elected, not AFTERWARDS. Apparently, you get a discount if you buy now. Once she's elected, it's full price, baby.
Since all former politicians speaking income is based upon their career in public "service", I think that they should have to choose between two alternatives-- you get your pension or else all your speaking income belongs to the Treasury. As long as you're still on Uncle Sam's payroll, no moonlighting for you.
