Report: FBI expands investigation of Clinton
http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/265402-report-fbi-expanding-clinton-investigation-to-look-into-public-corruption
?itok=1IVI8Bv0
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, according to Fox News.
The report is based on accounts by three unnamed sources.
"The agents are investigating the possible intersection of Clinton Foundation donations, the dispensation of State Department contracts and whether regular processes were followed," one of the sources told Fox.
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.
The FBI's investigation up until now has been focused on the classified information shared in the emails.
The State Department has released over 3,000 emails from Clinton's private server, 1,340 of which were deemed classified at some level.

Although redacted almost in its entirety, the e-mail is important because it contains Clinton’s private e-mail server address, hdr22@clintonemail.com. Had the State Department disclosed the e-mail at the time of the 2014 FOIA request, it would have exposed Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server to conduct official State Department business in the early fall of 2014. The timing is significant because the disclosure would have occurred several months before the Clinton campaign says she deleted several thousand “personal” e-mails.
The public was not made aware that Hillary was using a private e-mail server until early 2016!!
But, it gets worse, today the State Department released this warble garble ---
The State Department generally does not comment on matters in litigation. Here, however, there is confusion arising from an administrative error in recent correspondence in which the Department said that the document in question was withheld in November 2014. That is incorrect. The complete facts surrounding this document are set forth in a public court filing from July 2015. As described in the attached filing, the Department received the document in June 2015 from members of former Secretary Clinton’s senior staff, and did not withhold it until that time. The Department regrets any confusion and will be sending corrected correspondence to Judicial Watch.
So, Judicial Watch responded ----
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said, “The State Department can’t keep track of its cover-ups.” Fitton added, ” These changing stories are why two federal court judges granted us discovery.”
I didn't know until today that 2 federal court judges had granted Judicial Watch discovery.
Remember those who said that there was nothing to these FOIA requests?
Obviously, they were wrong!!!!

In a "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" kind of way if they ignored that nonsense.
