The Patriot Post® · Clinton Corruption Continues

News broke [Wednesday] that the FBI had arrested Hillary Clinton. Among other things, Mrs. Clinton was charged with “unauthorized removal and retention of classified materials” after officials raided her home and discovered “documents and digital information stored on various devices that contained highly classified information.”

Oops!

That story isn’t about Hillary, but former NSA contractor Harold Thomas Martin III of Glen Burnie, Maryland.

Unfortunately for Mr. Martin, his last name is not Clinton, and I’m sure there will be plenty of “reasonable prosecutors” willing to press the case against him.

As Governor Pence rightly noted in Monday night’s debate, if his son had handled classified information the way Hillary did, the Marines would have court-martialed him. Pence is right. Just ask Marine Maj. Jason C. Brezler. He was drummed out for just ONE email.

But in the past few days new details have emerged about the FBI’s cover-up — I mean investigation — of Mrs. Clinton’s national security scandal. You might want to sit down for this…

As part of the many immunity agreements that Obama’s so-called Justice Department agreed to in the course of this investigation, it evidently agreed to destroy laptops that belonged to former Clinton Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills and ex-campaign staffer Heather Samuelson. Moreover, the FBI also agreed to only examine documents that were dated between June 1, 2014 and Feb. 1, 2015.

That is no way to conduct an investigation. If the FBI wanted to retrieve these laptops with classified information on them, it should have gotten a warrant and raided Mills’ and Samuelson’s homes, just like it did to Mr. Martin.

Why would the FBI agree to limit what it could look at? And when did the FBI get into the business of destroying evidence? Clearly, the Justice Department was using the FBI to cover-up Hillary’s corruption.

Needless to say, congressional leaders are furious. This information was under subpoena by key committees. Four committee chairmen sent a letter to Attorney General Loretta Lynch demanding explanations. They should be demanding her resignation, along with FBI Director James Comey’s.

More Government Corruption

Here are a few more stories about government corruption you probably won’t see on the evening news.

Hillary Clinton steered millions of dollars in government contracts to one of Chelsea Clinton’s best friends, raising serious questions about ethical violations.

With just a little more than a month left in the most important election in modern history, the IRS is still targeting Tea Party groups.

The VA scandal is continuing. A new report finds veterans in the Phoenix VA Health Care system still are not being seen in a reasonable time. Whistleblowers are warning that callous bureaucrats are thwarting the Veterans Choice program which was designed to help reduce the backlog. That’s government-run health care for you!

In every single scandal of this administration, not one person has been sent to jail. And — surprise, surprise — they are doubling down, and doing it all over again.

Abedin’s Anti-Semitism

Without question, Huma Abedin is one of Hillary Clinton’s closest aides and confidants. Many people have expressed concerns about her family’s well-documented connection to the Muslim Brotherhood (here, here and here) and what her real agenda might be.

Here’s the latest. In September of 2009, Doug Band, a top official at the Clinton Foundation, emailed Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin at the State Department letting them know that AIPAC, one of America’s leading pro-Israel organizations, had invited former President Bill Clinton to speak at one of their events.

Abedin’s response: “U really want to consider sending him into that crowd?” After another push by Band, Abedin replied: “No go to aipac.”

Abedin’s choice of words — “that crowd” — obviously refers to American Jews who belong to AIPAC. We already know that Hillary Clinton was getting advice from one raving anti-Semite — Max Blumenthal. Why is Hillary Clinton so comfortable with advisors who despise Jews?

If this were a story about a top Trump aide, the media would be all over it, demanding Trump condemn or fire the aide. But as we already know, there is a completely different standard for the Clintons.

RINOs Ready For Hillary

If you are looking for reasons why Donald Trump beat more conventional Republicans for the GOP nomination, and why so many Republican primary voters said they felt betrayed by their own party, just consider this headline:

“GOP Senators: We Could Work With Hillary Clinton.”

A handful of Republican senators were quoted saying how they are prepared to work with President Hillary, because if she wins (God forbid!) they think the American people will want them to work with her.

What do they think she is going to do that they will agree with? There will be millions of Americans who expect the exact opposite — they want the GOP to fight back!

Far from cooperating with Hillary Clinton, they should be working on legal alternatives to fight her corruption.

They should be prepared for a brutal battle over the Supreme Court and the preservation of religious liberty and our Second Amendment rights.

They should be coming up with ways to effectively reassert Congress’ authority against abuses of executive power.

I can think of so many things — other than preemptively surrendering — that these GOP senators should be doing.
