THE HUFFINGTON POST PREDICTS SANDERS NEXT DEMOCRAT NOMINEE AFTER FBI INDICTS HILLARY

Late last summer, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, James Comey, met with John Giacalone, the bureau official responsible for everything from counterterrorism to counterintelligence across the U.S. Giacalone, a fireplug of a man who started out as a New York City field agent battling organized crime in the 1990s, wanted to brief Comey on a high-profile issue that had been referred to the bureau by the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community. Emails found on the private, unclassified server used by Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State contained classified information; Giacalone’s National Security Branch wanted to investigate how the secrets got there and whether anyone had committed a crime in the process. Comey was clear about one thing. “He wanted to make sure it was treated the same way as all other cases,” says Giacalone, who left the bureau in February. TIME MAGAZINE

Hillary Clinton Emails: Your Questions Answered

Obama was confronted about 2,000 email exchanges that had to be redacted for containing classified information when they were released by the State Department. Those emails were found to have passed through Clinton's private email server.

“What I also know, because I handle a lot of classified information, is that there are -- there’s classified, and then there’s classified,” said Obama, emphasizing his second use of “classified.” “There’s stuff that is really top secret, top secret, and there’s stuff that is being presented to the president or the secretary of state that you might not want on the transom or going out over the wire but is basically stuff that you could get in open-source.”

When confronted about the investigation earlier this week, Clinton laughed off the prospect that she would be put in handcuffs when it concludes.

On ABC's "This Week" Sunday, Clinton's campaign chair John Podesta said she still has not been contacted by the FBI over whether she will be interviewed about the server.

"If they want to talk to her, they can talk to her," he said. "But they haven't asked for that."

The FBI is expected to interview Clinton's closest aides and the presidential candidate may also be part of its investigation. It's not clear when the investigation will be completed.

The FBI has not formally named Clinton as a target and she has not been accused of any crimes.

Obama seemed to become frustrated as he was pressed over and over by Fox News' Chris Wallace about whether the investigation could be politicized. Obama repeatedly said he “guaranteed” that would not be the case.

“How many times do I have to say it, Chris? Guaranteed,” he said.

Hillary Clinton’s Department of State awarded at least $13 million in grants, contracts and loans to her longtime friend and Clinton Foundation donor Muhammad Yunus, despite his being ousted in 2011 as managing director of the Bangladesh-based Grameen Bank amid charges of corruption, according to an investigation by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

The tax funds were given to Yunus through 18 separate U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) award transactions listed by the federal contracting site USAspending.gov.

They highlight how Clinton mixed official government business with Clinton Foundation donors. Yunus gave between $100,000 to $300,000 to the foundation, according to the Clinton Foundation website.

Groups allied to Yunus received an additional $11 million from USAID, according to the contracting website. Yunus had business relationships with all of them.

For more than 30 years, Yunus oversaw the distribution of Grameen Bank “micro-credit loans” to the poor to set up small businesses. He was eventually regarded as a saint among many anti-poverty activists.

But he also got a big helping hand over the three decades Bill and Hillary Clinton actively promoted him and repeatedly showcased him as a celebrity figure at major Clinton Foundation functions.

The former president is credited with launching a personal lobbying campaign to press the Nobel Committee to award its peace prize to the Yunus. It did so in 2006.

Secretary Clinton’s mixing of official work with foundation donors is reportedly the focus of a second, less publicized FBI public corruption investigation of the former secretary of state. The more widely known FBI probe focuses on her use of a private email server located in her New York residence to conduct official government business.

“Presumably if The Daily Caller News Foundation has this information, then the FBI has it,” said Robert T. Hosko, former assistant director of the Bureau’s criminal division. “Certainly, the FBI would want to know the nature of these relationships,” he told TheDCNF.

“That’s precisely the sort of thing that the FBI would be looking at and should be looking at to determine whether there’s an official act of corruption,” he said.

The FBI declined comment, saying, “we generally do not comment on whether or not we’re conducting a particular investigation.”

While speaking with Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, Judge Andrew Napolitano said the FBI has enough evidence to indict and convict Democratic Party front-runner Hillary Clinton, The Blazereported Friday. According to The Blaze, the FBI is in the final stages of its investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server during her stint as Secretary of State.

"The evidence of her guilt is overwhelming,” he said. “And the FBI knows a lot more about it than I do.”

If the evidence against Clinton is as overwhelming as Napolitano says, the FBI may very well be inclined to push for an indictment. But it remains to be seen if the Justice Department is willing to take that step, given the current political climate, Chris Enloe said.

On Thursday, FBI Director James Comey said that even with the mounting evidence against Clinton, there is no timetable as to when -- or if -- anyone will face formal charges. Comey said he's more interested in conducting a proper investigation than seeing a conclusion prior to the Democratic Party convention in July.

“We aspire to do all our investigations in two ways, well and promptly,” Comey said. “I get that people care about this investigation, and so we’re working very hard to ensure it’s done well and promptly. If we had to choose between the two choices, we’d do it well.”

Hillary Clinton is on a path to win the Democratic nomination, but the looming FBI investigation and the possibility of an indictment against the former Secretary of State is casting a pall over the race that could end up sending the Democratic Party scrambling later this summer.

Clinton is under FBI investigation for her alleged use of a private email server during her time as Secretary of State to share classified information. Though a growing number of legal experts believe that the investigation will end with an indictment for Clinton, it’s the timing that may be the biggest concern for the Democratic Party.

FBI Director James Comey said this week that the bureau is in no rush to finish the investigation before this summer’s Democratic National Convention.

“Somebody asked me if the Democratic National Convention is a hard stop or a key date for you? Are you doing this aimed at that? And I said, no,” he said via NBC News. “We aspire to do all our investigations in two ways — well and promptly, especially investigations that are of great interest to the public. We want to do them promptly.”

Comey added that there is growing pressure for the FBI to ensure that it is indeed completed “well and promptly,” but between the two he would make sure it’s done well.

The FBI could leak internal reports of its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a home-brewed email server if the Obama administration stifles the inquiry, Sen. Chuck Grassley warned on Friday.

A hypothetical leak could occur, he said, if officials believed Clinton was not being prosecuted for political reasons.

“Is there going to be political interference? If there’s enough evidence to prosecute, will there be political interference?” the Iowa senator asked during a meeting on Friday with the Des Moines A.M. Rotary club, according to a report in the Des Moines Register.

“And if there’s political interference, then I assume that somebody in the FBI is going to leak these reports and it’s either going to have an effect politically or it’s going to lead to prosecution if there’s enough evidence," he said.

Grassley, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, has pushed for additional scrutiny of Clinton’s email use during her tenure as secretary of state, a subject that has dogged her throughout the 2016 campaign cycle.

But Grassley said that he wouldn’t break the law by "encouraging" a document leak.

I'M GOING TO PRISON!

JUDGE allows FBI to move CROOKED HILLARY indictment and trial from friendly CROOKED WASHINGTON DC to fair and balanced STATE of VIRGINIA! HOORAY for liberty and justice and our children.

While Hillary Clinton is busy trying to put the Democratic primary race behind her and pivot to the general election against presumptive G.O.P. nominee Donald Trump, the past several days have served as a stark reminder that Clinton is not yet clear of a potential scandal that still threatens to derail her campaign: the F.B.I. is nearing the completion of its investigation into her use of a private server to send classified e-mails, with the results expected be released before November.

Negative headlines about Clinton’s e-mails have seemed to be reaching critical mass in recent days. On Monday, the State Department revealed that it couldn’t find any e-mails from Bryan Pagliano, Clinton’s senior I.T. staffer when she was secretary of state. Pagliano had been responsible for setting up Clinton’s private server in the basement of her home in Chappaqua, making his testimony and communications central to the F.B.I. probe into any potential wrongdoing, yet four years’ worth of his e-mails had mysteriously disappeared. (A spokesperson later clarified that some number of his e-mails had been recovered from other accounts.) On Tuesday, The New York Times published an article detailing how Clinton’s State Department regularly used unclassified government networks to communicate and send classified e-mail to each other, and noted that Clinton’s private e-mail server was weakly protected compared even to these already insecure networks. The same day, The Washington Postreported that top Clinton aide Cheryl Mills and her lawyer had walked out of an interview with an F.B.I. investigator when she was asked questions “that her lawyer and the Justice Department had agreed would be off limits.” And on Wednesday, F.B.I. Director James Comey forcefully pushed back against the euphemistic characterization of the probe by Clinton and her allies as a “security inquiry,” telling reporters that it is indeed an F.B.I. investigation. He declined to say whether the federal probe was “criminal.”

As Hillary Clinton approaches the end of primary season, her biggest challenge yet could be approaching: RadarOnline.com has learned that the FBI is nearing the end of their investigation into her email scandal.

The results of the investigation are expected to be announced prior to the election in November, but so far the forecast isn’t looking good.

Rolling Stone reported that many political insiders are speculating that Clinton could even face a potential indictment prior to the Democratic convention in July. Cenk Uygur, the co-founder and host of online news program The Young Turks said, “If you’ve got a dozen people investigating you, odds are they will indict you” and that only the “grossly ignorant” would rule out the possibility of a Clinton indictment.

This is bombshell announcement! Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) just shared damning news for Hillary Clinton on The Steve Malzberg Show just now:

The FBI is ready to indict Hillary Clinton and if its recommendation isn’t followed by the U.S. attorney general, the agency’s investigators plan to blow the whistle and go public with their findings, former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay tells Newsmax TV.

“I have friends that are in the FBI and they tell me they’re ready to indict,” DeLay said Monday on “The Steve Malzberg Show.”

“They’re ready to recommend an indictment and they also say that if the attorney general does not indict, they’re going public.”

Clinton is under FBI investigation for her use of a private server to conduct confidential government business while she was secretary of state. But some Republicans fear any FBI recommendation that hurts Clinton will be squashed by the Obama administration.
DeLay, a Texas Republican and Washington Times radio host, said:

“One way or another either she’s going to be indicted and that process begins, or we try her in the public eye with her campaign. One way or another she’s going to have to face these charges.”

Team Hillary is already admitting this will likely happen. Amazingly, the Clinton campaign has been busy accusing Obama’s intelligence Inspector General, Charles McCullough, of coordinating releases of information to help Republicans.
