Charles Grassley: New Evidence Proves Obama Stopped FBI Agents from Investigating the Clinton Foundation

BREAKING: Just-declassified FBI docs reveal that Andrew McCabe throttled the investigation of the Clinton Foundation in 2016, denying field agents evidence from Weiner laptop. HQ warned: "[Avoid creating] any impression we are investigating the Clinton Foundation or the Clintons"

NEW🚨: Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley released a detailed FBI investigative timeline to Just the News this weekend, documenting repeated political obstructions faced by agents probing potential pay-to-play corruption in Hillary Clinton's family foundation from 2016 through early 2020.

The newly disclosed records, provided by FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi, reveal agents' frustrations with barriers from FBI headquarters and the Justice Department, including orders from then-Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to halt overt steps without his approval and demands from then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates to "shut it down."

The timeline highlights early 2016 directives limiting investigations across New York, Little Rock, and Washington field offices, despite evidence of foreign donations potentially influencing State Department actions during Clinton's tenure.

It extends beyond a shorter 2017 timeline, showing post-election delays, statute of limitations concerns raised by DOJ officials, and reluctance from U.S. attorneys to pursue leads, even after Trump administration encouragement.

Grassley stated: "The mainstream media smeared any investigation into Hillary Clinton as unfounded nonsense, but in reality, line agents and federal prosecutors seeking to follow up on legitimate leads were sidelined by partisan leadership looking to save Clinton's reputation. That's a night-and-day departure from how the Biden Justice Department handled the Arctic Frost investigation against President Trump."

The documents underscore agents' reports of being told "NO" by FBI HQ when attempting to expand probes, including interviews with Clinton aides like Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin, which were never authorized.

Special Counsel John Durham previously contrasted this cautious approach with the rapid full investigation into Trump's campaign, noting the Clinton inquiries were hampered despite predication based on source reporting of foreign contributions for favorable treatment.


Grassley's report here.

Department of Justice (DOJ) records provided to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) offer a behind-the-scenes look at how top leadership during the Obama-Biden administration repeatedly interfered to prevent DOJ prosecutors and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents from investigating the Clinton Foundation's financial dealings.

"The mainstream media smeared any investigation into Hillary Clinton as unfounded nonsense, but in reality, line agents and federal prosecutors seeking to follow up on legitimate leads were sidelined by partisan leadership looking to save Clinton's reputation. That's a night-and-day departure from how the Biden Justice Department handled the Arctic Frost investigation against President Trump," Grassley said. "For too long, our Justice Department has chosen winners and losers instead of enforcing the law without regard to power, party or privilege. That must never happen again. I thank Attorney General Bondi and Director Patel for turning over these records, so the American people finally know how their Justice Department failed in the Clinton investigations."

The records, including internal emails and an investigatory timeline, were provided to Grassley in response to his oversight request and whistleblower allegations. Per the records:

On July 20, 2016--111 days before the 2016 election--an agent with the FBI's Criminal Investigative Division ordered that, "based on the sensitivities surrounding the Clinton Foundation," agents were prohibited from issuing subpoenas, conducting interviews or sharing information related to the case with other offices so as to avoid "[creating] any impression we are investigating the Clinton Foundation or the Clintons."

In November 2016, FBI Headquarters, while under the leadership of then-Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, stepped in to block the Clinton Foundation investigative team from accessing potentially incriminating evidence located on the laptop of Anthony Weiner, the husband of Hillary Clinton's political aide, Huma Abedin. McCabe, among others, recommended the information instead be routed to the FBI's "Midyear" investigative team.

After the investigation was reopened in 2017, Main Justice holdovers from the previous administration allegedly provided prosecutors in the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Arkansas (EDAR) with documents that omitted information regarding DOJ and FBI leadership's interference. Additional requests the EDAR made to the FBI in 2018 "ruffled some feathers" and didn't result in a response.

An EDAR prosecutor concluded "there appear to be conflicts of interest for the leadership [at Main Justice, including the Public Integrity Section,] related to the 2016 [Clinton] investigations that undermine any confidence we might normally have in looking to them for assistance."

It was/is worse than you will ever know. Used to live in Arkansas under the Clinton regime and the odd deaths, suicides, etc. that occurred stagger the imagination.

Like Fahmy Malak, Clinton appointed Medical Examiner for the state and incompetent POS, declaring that two yutes died by going to sleep on the railroad tracks by smoking too much dope and getting run over by a train.

Or a prominent supporter being driven by his wife who was just out of inpatient treatment for alcoholism somehow gets a firearm and shoots himself on the trip back home while the wife went inside somewhere at a stop out of state. Said supporter used to set up sex parties for Clinton when he came to that part of the state.

I got more stories if you want them. And that leaves out garden variety Clinton actions like propositioning seventeen year old girls at a reception for high schoolers at teh mansion. Told them to meet him at his Excelsior hotel suite. Trashing a political rival and having him put in jail via frameup. And more.

Then they took their corrupt evil shit nationwide.

But they couch it in the language of propriety, as if it's ethically questionable to investigate the Clintons.

The FBI used to have plenty of legitimate dirt on all sorts of scurvy douchebags in government.

Unfortunately the usual suspects in Congress went out of their way to stonewall them, the oval office occupants prevented any arrests through the DOJ, and often going after the individuals exposing the malfeasance. That’s classic Washington - investigate the investigators, character assassination.

It’s only gotten worse. Now, apparently the Fibbies aren’t in the business any longer of rooting out subversives, their job is to protect and provide cover for the very SOBs and ideological heirs who should have been arrested.

That is why I am done with the left and their cheerleaders in high places nor do I care what Trump says to them.

In fact, they often brag about defying him.

Yet the entire Obama and Biden regimes were rotted through with low-level employees, and all the top-level, committing all sorts of crimes on their behalf.

No leakage, no revelations, no trials, nothing. All of it, just gone.

All of these so called donors are seniors with the average being 80 years old. Amazingly these 20 persons have been accused of donating over 2.6 million dollars in over 187,000 separate donations. It should be noted that conventional wisdom indicates that these elderly persons had their identities stolen and that they did not actually make anywhere close to this ridiculous amount of donations/money. Investigations by many, including James O Keefe, Peter Bernegger and myself have shown that most, if not all, of individuals similarly involved are actually “straw donors” AKA “smurfs”.

Why do it? Easy.

Why do movie stars hang on as long as they can? It ain't money. They won't do it *without* the money, of course, but that probably stops being the driving factor after the first few years, absent tremendous foul-ups.

It's adoration. Celebrity is its own reward, and Chuck is going to get a *lot* of nice things said about what his staff produced for him to stick on his letterhead.

It's not about results, or action, or "making the world a better place" or money. It's about adoration and it's about power.

161 I think it's important to note that July 5th is when then Director Comey did that bizarre press conference where he outlined all the federal violations of Hillary Clinton relative to her home server and destroyed electronic devices along with, what, 33,000 emails. With the rationalization of having no "intent" of committing a crime.

It seems clear that Comey gave marching orders to McCabe to run interference on any Clinton investigation, because paired up with all that had been brought to light previously (including the July 5th press conference), it would have been too much for independent voters.

This is hilarious because a lot of independent voters pointed to Comey's press conference as a deciding factor in who they voted for...and not the way Comey wanted. And Comey was made the scapegoat by Clinton despite all he was doing to protect her.

University of California Davis economists calculate a 40 cents per gallon increase the moment Phillips 66 closes their Los Angeles refinery this December. Then another 81 cents when Valero shuts down four months later in April. That totals a $1.21 per gallon increase by August 2026, your 15 gallon fill-up jumps from $70 to at least $95.

The Stanford Energy Institute came up with even worse projections. They are showing potential spikes to $8 per gallon during supply disruptions.

UC Berkeley's Severin Borenstein, who has been tracking California energy markets for decades, warns these closures could create severe gasoline shortages with unprecedented price increases.

"The Wall Street Journal reveals a European intelligence agency has distributed internal evaluations regarding "commercial and economic plans" the Trump administration has been pursuing with Russia in private discussions.

This has allegedly intensified concerns among European officials that the White House is poised to compromise the continent's safety for American economic advantage.

Insiders informed the WSJ that European leaders are weighing severe countermeasures in response, calculated to trigger economic turmoil across the United States. The proposed strategy includes liquidating trillions in American government bonds held by European governments.

A swift sell-off could potentially trigger a crash in the value of the US dollar, instigate a liquidity crisis across the banking system, and cause a significant surge in borrowing costs."

242 As we're late in the thread, how about the DSA's dream platform in graphic form: https://shorturl.at/ahKGs

these are great first steps in a country like the US which has rejected the Social Democratic/Keynesian wave that swept up much of "The West". We shouldn't view this as the "end-all" be all. A quick look at the Social Democratic parties in Europe shows us why.

social democracy is the next step towards socialism. Eventually the dialectic of workers producing everything while private companies take the majority of the benefits will catch up to the capitalists. At least I hope this is true.

it's also possible to eradicate profit
EDIT: lol I don't know why I'm getting downvoted for pointing out this version of the future still involves profit (and executives too, for that matter), something I'm against as a socialist and would have assumed more people on this sub are as well 🙄

Also WORKER OWNERSHIP. Seriously until companies are owned equally by the workers this country is going nowhere but fascism

Let’s go further. All this, but with universal healthcare, universal housing, universal childcare and education. It’s more than possible.

246 Ok, speaking of the Olds.

So this last ti.e I went to the optometrist, my overall prescription did not change, but I got a pair of progressive lens glasses. I like them, but have noticed my... awareness cone seems to narrow considerably when wearing them as opposed to contacts or my regular glasses.

Then, I looked at the binary clock my sister got me a dozen years ago and noticed a huge difference. It has a panel of blue leds that you can figure out what the time is. I looked at them with the progressive and it looked like a field of stars with rays coming off. Put on the regular glasses, looked normal.

I guess the progressive messes with the astigmatism correction. Weird.

Ella Cook was just 19 years old — a Conservative, a Christian, and Vice President of the Republican Club at Brown University.

She was brutally killed by a shooter in what appears to be a targeted political attack.

If you still don’t see what’s happening, you haven’t been paying attention.

Just this year alone:

- Tricia McLaughlin threatened with public execution
- Two National Guard troops shot in DC
- The seditious six Democrats claiming President Trump telling the military to not follow orders
- Jay Jones openly fantasizing about murdering Republicans and their children wins election in Virginia
- Charlie Kirk assassinated on live TV, the left celebrated
- Attacks on ICE officers have skyrocketed over 1000%
- LA Riots and terror attacks [ . . . ]

The left’s violent rhetoric has turned into nationwide violence. If we don’t crush this threat now, we lose everything. It’s only escalating.

Enough is enough.

The last 24 hours of the investigation at Brown University have been a mess.

- specific people in a specific room of a specific building at a specific time were attacked - that’s local knowledge, not out of town knowledge.

- 6 hours later, the President of the university publicly states that she has no idea what the classroom was even being used for.

- cameras everywhere - none capture the suspect in any useful way.

- a person of interest is identified and the name leaked to the WaPo - the wrong man - who’s the leaker?

- now we learn that one of the victims was one of the few conservative voices on campus in a class being taught by a prominent Jewish professor.

- Brown also has an official policy of not exposing racial and ethnic descriptions from its safety alerts - eye witnesses may have seen the attacker and not known it.

Incompetence is too nice of a word. This is incompetence plus narrative bias - perhaps deliberate bias - greatly harming the investigation.

Italy has declared its gold is not for the EU to back the Euro, and Germany is bottoming out on its reserves. The UK holds a lot of USD but I don't think they want to print more Pounds to fill the hole a sell off would cause.

He said he thought one was Barnes.
At the preliminary hearing Barnes attorney said how did you know it was my client if he wore a mask . The driver said well I follow HE basketball and he was six foot six. The attorney said "is that all?" The driver said ," he was wearing a jacket that said RI State Champs and underneath it was embroidered"Marvin Barnes". Barnes pled

California no longer has any 'fossil fuel' plants for energy. They're geothermal, nuclear, wind and solar. They have to buy energy from surrounding states and still have brownouts and rolling blackouts every summer.

This is actually a very serious point, which almost no one in California at any level seems to realize yet. None of these new Data Centers, or any tech at all,, can or will be built there. They don't have the energy to run it. Which means almost all new investment in such things is going to be flowing to Texas and other places with lots of cheap, easy to get energy, with the promise of more in the future.

Silicon Valley may not realize it yet, but it's going to fade into a diminished "me too" shadow of what it once was.

If you're smarter than an 85 IQ, you could only read this stuff and come away with one or both of two conclusions, even in a full vacuum of subsequent historical knowledge about Marxism:

1.) This is a self-referential ouroborous of pretzel logic that presumes its own hypotheses. It's unlikely to ever work. In fact, it sounds stupid AF.

2.) Holy shit, this is the greatest scam in the history of grifting. Get me a picket sign and a revolver right away.

His family says he was “the most kind-hearted person” and their “biggest role model.”

In a documentary, a farm wife killed her husband and tried to make it look like suicide. He was shot in the face but his arms weren't long enough to reach the trigger. The lever action rifle had a round in the chamber so he must have shot himself in the head then worked the lever. The gloves he was wearing were to big to fit inside the trigger guard. But other than that, it was perfect.
