Smoke Always Leads to the Fire as FBI Revelations Prove Clinton Was Protected by the Obama DOJ theepochtimes.com/smoke-always-l… via @epochtimes
The disgraced FBI agents who helped launch the witch hunt against President Donald Trump have shed disturbing new light on the corrupt mishandling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation, exposing the urgent need for a second special counsel investigation.
When Hillary Clinton jeopardized national security by sending and receiving classified materials on a private, unsecured email server, the DOJ went out of its way to ignore evidence that should have led to the filing of criminal charges.
The double standard was revealed by recently-released transcripts of closed-door congressional testimony from Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, and it demonstrates the serious need for a comprehensive investigation of its ow
The American people deserve to know how political pressure was allowed to influence federal law enforcement activities, and what the DOJ and FBI will do differently in the future to prevent partisan bureaucrats from abusing their powers in this way.
Many of the same officials who deliberately concealed relevant facts from the FISA court about the Steele Dossier are still running the show at the highest levels of federal law enforcement to this day.
Their job security sustained a major blow, however, with the release of the transcripts of the closed-door House committee interviews of Strzok and Page.
The most damning revelation came from Page, who confirmed under oath that the Obama DOJ ordered the FBI not to charge Hillary Clinton for gross negligence in the handling of classified information—a blatantly political attempt to bury Clinton’s email scandal before the election.
The DOJ also took steps to bury evidence of Clinton’s wrongdoing. According to Strzok, the DOJ “negotiated” an agreement with Hillary Clinton’s legal team that prevented the FBI from accessing emails on her private servers relating to the Clinton Foundation
The New York Times reported in 2015 about allegations that then-Secretary of State Clinton accepted donations to her foundation from Russia in exchange for a favorable ruling from the U.S. government on the Uranium One deal,
The Uranium One Deal gave Russia a massive stake in uranium production. Since then, additional sleuthing has provided even more evidence that Clinton illegally used the foundation as a political slush fund.
In response to the revelations made by Strzok and Page, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has called for the appointment of a second special counsel to investigate “potential crimes” related to the DOJ’s handling of the Clinton investigation
Senator Graham says two questions need to be answered: Did DOJ officials stop the Clinton investigation in an effort to help her win the 2016 election? And did they start the Russian investigation against Trump as an insurance policy in case he won?
