Hillary
Clinton has been under investigation – off and on – since 2015. First, for her
unauthorized email server, and later, for pay-for-play allegations associated
with her time as Obama’s Secretary of State, including Clinton Foundation
connections to the Uranium One scandal. In November 2017, then-Attorney General
Jeff Sessions appointed US Attorney John Huber to investigate Uranium One and
other Clinton matters. The official letter of appointment can
be found here.
And those investigations have been ongoing ever since.
There
have been spurious reports related to those investigations over the past two
years. For example, there were several Uranium One whistleblowers who testified
before Congress, as
reported here.
And there were “boxes of evidence” supposedly being loaded onto a DoJ-chartered
aircraft in 2018, as
reported here.
But nothing from official DoJ sources on the status of the investigation(s),
and certainly nothing from Huber himself nor anyone directly involved in his
investigation into “Uranium One and other Clinton matters.”
Then,
suddenly, CNN
reported
that Huber’s investigation isn’t leading to “formal criminal investigation.”
A
Justice Department review of business dealings tied to Hillary
Clinton — championed by President Donald Trump and his allies — has wound
down with officials not finding enough evidence to recommend the formal opening
of a criminal investigation, according to current and former US officials.
The
Justice Department has not formally closed the review, which was led by US
Attorney John Huber of Utah, the officials told CNN.
A
spokeswoman for Huber deferred comment to the Justice Department’s spokeswoman,
who declined to comment. The Department of Justice also
declined to comment to the Washington Post, which first reported that
Huber’s review had essentially come to an end.
Did
you catch that the CNN report was based on unnamed “current and former US
officials”? I’m just not buying the spin. Who are those officials, and what is
the purpose behind the unsubstantiated leaks? How many times are we supposed to
swallow a “breaking CNN news report” based on information from unnamed sources
that is later proven to be completely false?
And
then there is this brand-new information from Judicial Watch: “State Dept
produces to Judicial Watch new emails just found by the FBI. Includes
classified info and revelation Clinton used text messaging for government
business.”
Cynical me says that the CNN report was a
spin-job intended to get out in front of the Judicial Watch revelations, as
well as the typical gaslighting of those of us who have been praying for harsh
justice to be delivered to Hillary Clinton. Documents galore, whistleblower
testimony, official emails, and who knows what else has been uncovered by the
FBI and Huber’s investigators, plus tons of information collected by intrepid
independent investigators that is already in the public domain. And no criminal
prosecutions?
We’re
supposed to believe that Huber’s team doesn’t already have those emails given
to Judicial Watch, or, worse, that they do have them but decided to not pursue
a criminal prosecution? I’m not buying it and am going to wait for official
confirmation from DoJ that Hillary Clinton is in the clear. And then there were
those Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information and Special Access Program
emails that were on her unauthorized email server….
The
end.
