Kash Patel says FBI done covering for Hillary
Hillary Clinton has been a target for the right since I can remember, and rightfully so.
It seems pretty clear that during the Obama and Biden administrations, the agency covered for Hillary, and others, but new FBI Director Kash Patel has stated that those days are now over.
Hillary’s emails
When Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, she used her own server to secure her communications.
This became public knowledge during the 2016 election, with the investigation being reopened just days before voters headed to the booth.
In July 2016, Comey announced that the case was being referred to Obama’s DOJ for prosecution, stating, “After a tremendous amount of work over the last year, the FBI is completing its investigation and referring the case to the Department of Justice for a prosecutive decision. What I would like to do today is tell you three things: what we did; what we found; and what we are recommending to the Department of Justice.”
As we all know, Comey recommended that the case not be pursued, giving Hillary a pass, which is what the DOJ did.
Investigation ended with Trump’s First Term
When Trump won the election, his DOJ went after Hillary, but it does appear that time ran out.
According to reports after Trump left office, the DOJ was looking into possible criminal conduct of the Clinton Foundation up until Trump left office, then the investigation was scrapped.
The New York Times reported, “The Justice Department kept open the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s family foundation for nearly all of President Donald J. Trump’s administration, with prosecutors closing the case without charges just days before he left office.”
The biggest allegation against Hillary was that she was running a pay-to-play scheme, which is very hard to prove unless you can get witnesses to come forward, which they were clearly unable to do.
It Stops Now
It is very easy to understand why many Trump supporters think that former Directors Wray and Comey were running cover for Clinton, but the current Director, Kash Patel, says that all stops now.
He stated, "You asked in the beginning how the FBI was weaponized. Well, the FBI hijacked the constitutional responsibility of the Department of Justice and the Attorney General, and James Comey and others specifically decided what cases to prosecute and not prosecute. Don't believe me? Go to the videotape in the Hillary Clinton investigation.
"We don't decide prosecutions, and neither does any agent or intel analyst. We have great partners under Attorney General [Pam] Bondi. We work with them and discuss the matter with them, but the prosecutorial decision is with them.”
He concluded, "That's how vindictive and vicious the former leadership structure here was. Not only did they bastardize the FISA process and lie to the American public, they withheld and hid documentation and put it in rooms where people weren't supposed to look. It's a good thing we're here now to clean it up, and you're about to see a wave of transparency… Just give us about a week or two."
