For even the most keyed in voters, untangling the connections of the Clinton family dynasty is complicated. We learned this week that the Clinton Foundation is in fact being invested by the FBI aided by the US Attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York. This investigation was addressed by FBI Director James Comey’s hearing last month with the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform headed by Jason Chaffetz. At the time, Comey refused to answer Chaffetz’ question about whether an investigation was being conducted.
The allegations (of which everyone who has a brain knows are likely true) are that special favors were performed for those who donated large sums of money to the Clinton conglomerate. Special favors consisted of wielding the State Department powers in a favorable way for whomever the donor may be. The Clinton Foundation has collected more than $2 billion dollars over the last 15 years. Donors have included “Eastern European tycoons, Arab Sheiks, African mining magnates, hedge fund billionaires and Wall Street firms.” For an exhaustive look at the Foundation’s operations click here for the November 2015 Washington Post article detailing the big money donors, many of the shady variety, all of the dripping with millions variety.
