Who's behind the FBI a investigation of the Clinton Foundation? SURPRISE!

FIBBIES for DRUMPF!

Go figure.

Apparently the agency is about to implode behind the lack of leadership.

The rigged system, you know.


BUSTED: Trump's Campaign Boss Tied To FBI's Review Of The Clinton Foundation

The FBI has come under sustained and deserved criticism for the past week due to public pronouncements regarding Hillary Clinton. They demonstrated a blatant double standard by releasing vague but damaging statements about Clinton a few days before an election. Those statements have allowed Clinton's opponents to smear her, but leave her little of substance to rebut. However, the FBI refused to discuss investigations of Donald Trump's shady connections to Russia saying that it's too close to an election.

Now the New York Times is reporting that the FBI's inquiry into the Clinton Foundation was built on discredited reporting by a well-known anti-Clinton hack. The Times writes that the FBI's case:

"...had not developed much evidence and was based mostly on information that had surfaced in news stories and the book ‘Clinton Cash,’ according to several law enforcement officials briefed on the case."
Some background is required on the book that the FBI has apparently embraced as the cornerstone of their inquisition. Clinton Cash was published last year as an attempt to connect donations to the Clinton Foundation with the personal finances of the Clintons. The book was harshly criticized for containing numerous factual errors and failing to document its thesis.

For instance, the book alleged that Clinton played a "central role" in approving the sale of a uranium company. It further alleged that she did so in return for a donation to the Clinton Foundation. In fact, the records show that Clinton didn't weigh in on the matter at all. What's more, the sale required the approval of nine different federal agencies, so Clinton's participation would have had minimal impact. The book's author later admitted in an ABC News interview that he had no evidence to substantiate his charge. That's just one of many examples of the author's dishonesty.

And speaking of the author, he is a long-time Republican activist named Peter Schweizer. His resume boasts stints with Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, and George W. Bush. He has a history of making false allegations that often require retractions. One of his previous books was saddled with this audacious and absurd title: "Makers and Takers: Why Conservatives Work Harder, Feel Happier, Have Closer Families, Take Fewer Drugs, Give More Generously, Value Honesty More, Are Less Materialistic And Envious, Whine Less...And Even Hug Their Children More Than Liberals." And...inhale.

Schweizer may seem like a peculiar choice for the FBI to hinge their case on. But wait up - it gets worse. Schweizer is also the president of a conservative "think" tank called the Government Accountability Institute (GAI). The GAI conducts studies that have about the same low level of credibility as Schweizer's books. It's purpose is to stream their poorly-sourced, partisan propaganda into the media. The chairman and founder of GAI is Stephen Bannon. Bannon is currently on leave from his job as chairman of Breitbart News so that he can run Donald Trump's campaign for president.

So in summary, the FBI is basing their Clinton case on a widely debunked book, written by a disreputable Clinton foe, whose boss is a right-wing propagandist, and the CEO of Trump's campaign. You may want to go back and read that sentence again slowly. It describes a severely maladjusted law enforcement agency that is improperly politicizing its work.

And if that weren't enough, recall that the Times also mentioned news reports as among the FBI's sources. Presumably they are referring to reports like the hour-long special Fox News did on Schweizer's book. It's one thing when dimwitted wingnuts fall for malarkey from people like Schweizer and Fox News. But it's much more depressing - and dangerous - when the FBI does it.

It's about to get REAL with FBI involved.

And everything so far has been fantasy?

Guess what. Comeys ass will be fired on Day One.

You're lying again, you Mussulman-luvin, Hitler worshipping, lying, hypocritical, racist, cum-gobbling golem fucktard, HDDB, DEM.

It's hildebeest's campaign manager's connections with Putin that are being scrutinized by the FBI, you Mussulman-luvin, Hitler worshipping, lying, hypocritical, racist, cum-gobbling golem fucktard, HDDB, DEM.

Tony Podesta: Dined with hildebeest, lobbied for Putin's ally

Who is he: Older brother of John Podesta, with whom he founded what is now The Podesta Group of which he is chairman; social acquaintance of the hildebeest’s; Democratic fundraiser

The FBI and the Justice Department are investigating possible ties to alleged corruption involving the former president of Ukraine - and Podesta's firm is one of those targeted.

Perhaps surprisingly, the investigation also lapped at the Trump campaign, as its then chairman Paul Manafort stepped down in August when it was revealed that his company was also being investigated.

The broad-based investigation is looking into whether U.S. companies and the financial system were used to enable corruption by the party of former pro-Russian Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych, CNN reported.

The Podesta Group hired an independent legal firm to investigate whether it had been misled by the Center for a Modern Ukraine, a not-for-profit group linked to the ousted Ukrainian government, a spokeswoman for the group said in a statement to Reuters in August.

The key to the FBI investigation is that Manafort and his deputy Rick Gates may have been paid by the Yanukovych government to push its case in Washington without declaring that the money came from abroad.

One of the firms Gates appears to have hired to help push the Center for a Modern Ukraine was The Podesta Group.

The FBI will therefore look at whether Podesta knowingly or negligently breached laws requiring all foreign attempts to influence U.S. politics to be registered.
Yanukovych was ousted as Ukranie's leader in 2014 - and is exiled in southern Russia, after long-term accusations that he was a friend of Vladimir Putin.

The older Podesta, his brother's emails disclosed, remains extremely close to John, sharing the use of an apartment in New York until earlier this year. Official records also show he is a 'bundler' for hildebeest who had raised $62,000 by the end of June.

It is a long-standing relationship. One email forced out of the State Department showed how in 2012 the hildebeest Foundation used the then Secretary of State to host a dinner at her home where attendees included donors - and Podesta.

"But according to a 2014 report by the Congressional Research Service, “there are no statutory conditions on the President’s authority to remove the FBI Director.” In other words, the President can indeed fire the FBI director. An FBI director can also be removed by congress, through the impeachment process."
