Clinton Foundation receives a subpoena from State Dept. Investigators!

Looks like big, big trouble is coming is.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/11/politics/hillary-clinton-foundation-subpoena/index.html


CNN)—A representative for the charitable foundation set up by Bill and Hillary Clinton confirmed they received a subpoena from the State Department's Inspector General, but said they are not the focus of the government watchdog's investigation.

The Washington Post first reported on the subpoena Thursday, saying it was sent to The Clinton Foundation last fall, and sought "documents about the charity's projects that may have required approval from the federal government during Hillary Clinton's term as secretary of state," as well as records on Clinton aide Huma Abedin. The Post report said there is no indication the Inspector General is looking at Clinton herself.


A foundation representative would not comment on details of the subpoena. The representative did say that the investigation has been narrowed since the initial subpoena and that the Clinton Foundation was not the focus of the Inspect General investigation.

A spokesperson for the Inspector General's office declined to comment

4. That's what I'm thinking. It had to happen - sooner or later. There's too much of "THAT" there.

7. Seriously. And if it was Bernie under FBI investigations, do you think TPTB would be standing aside

to let him run for the Democratic Party nomination? HELL NO.

I wonder how long they're going to allow this to continue?

8. Must be that "vast right-wing conspiracy"

Or is it a "vast left-wing conspiracy" now? I can't keep up.

I have an alternative theory: the Clintons being profoundly corrupt creatures of the establishment, and the existence of anti-Clinton bias, are not mutually exclusive.
