Prosecutor on Special Counsel Jack Smith's Team Shut Down FBI Investigation into the Clinton Foundation in 2016 |
2024-01-09 |
[AG] A top prosecutor on Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team recommended that the FBI shut down an investigation into the Clinton Foundation in 2016, despite ample evidence of suspicious activity related to hundreds of thousands of dollars in foreign transactions, Fox News reported. In his May 2023 report on the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation, Special Counsel John Durham identified Ray Hulser, the former chief of the Department of Justice’s Public Integrity Section (PIN), as the official who "declined prosecution" of the Clinton Foundation. Hulser now serves on Smith’s team currently prosecuting former President Donald Trump for alleged crimes related to January 6. According to Durham’s report, in late 2014, the FBI began investigating a "well-placed" confidential source’s claims that two foreign governments had attempted to make illegal donations to buy influence with Hillary ahead of her presidential campaign. By early 2016, three different FBI field offices, in Washington, D.C., Little Rock, Arkansas, and New York, had opened investigations into the Clinton Foundation for "possible criminal activity," but Hulser shut them down, claiming there was "insufficient predication" for opening the investigations. He reportedly declined to prosecute during a meeting on February 1, 2016. |

#2 If the court rules against Trump, that he does not have Presidential immunity, and Trump goes on to win the Presidency, will Obama have Presidential Immunity? |
