This seems like an “obscure” (for lack of a better word) investigation ..... why now? Worst possible time for Hilly - she needs McAuliffe & as an ages-old friend, supporter, business FOB (friend of Bill) ‘partner’, if he’s dirtied up publicly*, it makes her look even more corrupt. I agree the FBI can investigate etc. as you stated, but my “spidey sense” is telling me that there is more going on ...... DOJ/Obama are ok with this at a minimum.
We all KNOW he’s a sleazebag scumball corruptocrat, but getting the media to acknowledge it or talk about any of his dirty dealings with the Clintons has previously been a ‘non-starter’.
This is a nice way to pivot the news cycles from Bill Clinton to her “smaller” crime of not following company policy...
