Thanks to DemMomma4Sanders for the thread as I didn't know about this.
As I mentioned above, the visas were something I'd run into with other research of the Clinton Foundation. Some of it was a different type of visa allowing cheaper labor (H-1Bs which became a sore point for me when the Latinos in Nevada supporting Hillary smeared Bernie who was fighting against such a thing taking American jobs that Hillary effectively supported in the Senate).
The Clintons left the White House effectively broke according to Hillary and somehow, a bunch of rich people, including other governments, gave them or their Foundation about $4 billion dollars since 2000. That's a lot of dough and pretty amazing panhandling results. Often, people get a wing of a hospital named after them or something for their money. Can't blame the authorities for taking a really close look at what was going on because it has quite an odor to it.
McAuliffe was a key money raiser for them and they're looking at what he did for them and others during his years as a Clinton Foundation director. That has to make the Clintons even more nervous as it's a sign the subpoenas of the Clinton Foundation might be bearing fruit. The timing of all this is frightening for her candidacy. I hope the Democratic party realizes it. Because there's no way there's enough time to clear her name of allegations should this hit the mainstream media in a big way before the election - even if she's innocent. The Republicans smell the blood in the water because they've launch six lawsuits for material related to this.
Judge orders Obama administration to release new Clinton emails
A federal judge has ordered the Obama administration to release new emails connected to Hillary Clinton before Democratic National Convention in July.
In an order late on Wednesday, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson told the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to hand over to the Republican National Committee (RNC) whatever records it could as part of an RNC’s open-records lawsuit on July 11.
After that, USAID will need to consult with the State Department about hundreds of other pages of documents, which could be released at some point in the future.
The RNC sued the aid agency in March, seeking two sets of communications: those between USAID officials and former aides at the State Department, as well as those between USAID and private domain names associated with Clinton, former President Bill Clinton and others including the Clinton Foundation. The effort appeared to be related to allegations that the former secretary of State’s family foundation had undue influence on USAID.
The RNC lawsuit was one of several it has filed seeking records connected to Clinton, the likely Democratic presidential nominee, in a preview of a battle sure to last through the general election.
The tough part of this situations is the Republicans do not need a conviction. All they need is good smear material for their allegations to be effective to sway voters. Should she survive and win the election, they may circle back looking for a conviction to impeach.
Timing is everything. If the GOP spring this in the fall, it could hand Trump the keys to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. At that point, Plan B is almost impossible to execute.
So this whole thing scares the crap out of me and we'd be wise to keep on eye on it.
