FBI's Clinton probe expands to public corruption track

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/01/11/fbis-clinton-probe-expands-to-public-corruption-track.html

The FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of private email as secretary of state has expanded to look at whether the possible “intersection” of Clinton Foundation work and State Department business may have violated public corruption laws, three intelligence sources not authorized to speak on the record told Fox News.

This new investigative track is in addition to the focus on classified material found on Clinton’s personal server.

"The agents are investigating the possible intersection of Clinton Foundation donations, the dispensation of State Department contracts and whether regular processes were followed," one source said.

Clinton, speaking to the Des Moines Register, on Monday pushed back on the details of a second investigative track. According to reporter Jennifer Jacobs, Clinton said Monday she has heard nothing from the FBI.

yet. The reporter is not your typical Fox spinner, but an actual credentialed journalist. video at link with author

Corrupt corporate owned MSM may be trying to deep six the story until after Iowa and NH or Faux News is making shit up again. You just never know now with our corrupt MSM. Since they're HRH shills, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they've buried it until later.

saying something nice about Bernie and news coverage after a Bernie Blackout for 8 months(?) though I don't personally trust a damn thing any DC insider says. They're all corrupt to the core (except the usual handful), IMO...Biden included.

But, yes, if this story is true - she's in trouble because I've read about her quid pro quo deals for The CGI while SOS. IT LOOKS really, really bad. Definitely a conflict of interest.

largesse. Of course it is. There are certain rules about foundations, and a lot of gray areas, that some will push. I have no doubt this is and has been done. They did not set up the foundation for the poor and underfed. That some will go there, surely. But they need a regulator because that family lies and cheats like there was no consequence.

At best, shady. At worst...well who knows.

The FBI is also not through with the email affair, either. Those who worked for her and cleaned their servers are now being look into. There is no end to their trail of mayhem, money and madness.
