WaEx: Hillary Clinton’s campaign spokesman said he did not know whether the Clinton Foundation is presently under investigation for allegations of corruption amid reports that the FBI is looking into the charity.
“There’s no basis to believe that. I have no knowledge of that,” Brian Fallon said Wednesday evening during an appearance on Fox News.
“There’s no evidence to that effect,” he added, calling reports about the investigation “baseless.”
FBI Director James Comey dodged questions last month about whether a reported probe of the Clinton Foundation had concluded with the investigation into Clinton’s private emails, which closed on July 6 without yielding criminal charges for anyone involved.
“You can’t read anything at all into Director Comey’s inability to answer that question,” Fallon said.
The Justice Department alum said law enforcement officials are forbidden from addressing questions about potential investigations in a public setting.
Fallon also denied reports from last week that the Internal Revenue Service has opened an inquiry into the Clinton Foundation. MORE
Well, I have all the faith in the world that the IRS, FBI and the DOJ will conduct a fair, professional and impartial investigation of the Clinton foundation……
Oh wait, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
I have absolutely no faith in the IRS, the FBI, or the DOJ.
Period.
He’s right, they’re not conducting investigations. They’re conducting Kabuki Theater.
They are officially under investigation until James Comey’s Swiss account #32778-615-409786 is fortified by a eight figure amount.
I realize that the situation sucks, but it is a price we pay for having other than a third world government.
Just as we would not like to see the full force of the US government brought down on Trump were he to lose, it can’t be done to Hillary either.
Jailing the losing party is only done in the most corrupt political systems.
Until someone can come up with a better way that prevents reprisal, we are stuck with this.
Trump is also benefiting from this, though hardly as much as Hillary is, he has years old cases that he was scheduled for testimony on and that have been put on hold for months, or 4+ years, or 8+ years.
“Jailing the losing party”
Only libs reduce things to not-really-what’s-happening, but maybe idiots will buy it, status.
