The Department of Justice Inspector General released a report Friday claiming "Lack of candor" by former FBI deputy Director Andrew McCabe The report also details Justice Department's influence to close a multi-state investigation into the Clinton Foundation The IG claims McCabe leaked DOJ's pressure to end the Clinton investigation to battle claims he was partial to the Clintons.
The Department of Justice Inspector General report on the "Lack of candor" by FBI deputy Director Andrew McCabe also documents for the first time the Obama administration's effort to shut down the bureau's investigation of the Clinton Foundation, according to a review of the report by The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group.
The inspector general confirmed in its long-awaited report released Friday that in 2016 the FBI had ongoing field investigations of the Clinton Foundation in New York, Los Angeles, Little Rock, Arkansas and Washington, D.C. The multi-city investigation was launched when agents found "Suspicious activity" between a foreign donor and Clinton Foundation activity in the Los Angeles area, as TheDCNF reported in August 2016.
The chairman said he was worried "How the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation handled the investigation into all the aspects of what was going on with Hillary Clinton, with her emails, with the Clinton Foundation, so on, bending over backwards to not prosecute, to not investigate properly, to not continue to investigate is very disturbing."
The IG chronicled Comey's silence about their foundation investigation, recounting, "Before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on July 7, 2016, FBI Director Comey refused to answer questions about whether the FBI was investigating the Clinton Foundation. Comey stated that he was 'not going to comment on the existence or nonexistence' of the Investigation."
"Had McCabe's primary concern actually been to reassure the public that the FBI was pursuing the CF Investigation despite the anonymous claims in the article, the way that the FBI and the Department would usually accomplish that goal is through a public statement reassuring the public that the FBI is investigating the matter," the IG wrote.
The question is how much additional pressure did the Obama administration apply upon the FBI to end its investigation of the Clinton Foundation.
