Clinton Campaign Chairman Had Multiple Dinners With Top DOJ Official During Email Investigation
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/25/16 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 10/26/2016 10:19:08 AM PDT by Enlightened1

The day after Hillary Clinton testified in front of the House Select Committee on Benghazi last October, John Podesta, the Democrat’s campaign chairman, met for dinner with a small group of well-connected friends, including Peter Kadzik, a top official at the Justice Department.

The dinner arrangement, revealed in hacked Podesta emails released by WikiLeaks, is just the latest example of an apparent conflict of interest between the Clinton campaign and the federal agency charged with investigating the former secretary of state’s email practices.

Podesta and Kadzik, the assistant attorney general for legislative affairs, were in frequent contact, other emails show. In one email from January, Kadzik and Podesta, who were classmates at Georgetown Law School in the 1970s, discussed plans to celebrate Podesta’s birthday. And in another sent last May, Kadzik’s son emailed Podesta asking for a job on the Clinton campaign.

The post-Benghazi dinner was attended by Podesta, Kadzik, superlobbyist Vincent Roberti and other well-placed Beltway fixtures.

The exchanges are another example of the Clinton campaign’s “cozy relationship” with the Obama Justice Department, one former U.S. Attorney tells The Daily Caller.

“The political appointees in the Obama administration, especially in the Department of Justice, appear to be very partisan in nature and I don’t think had clean hands when it comes to the investigation of the private email server,” says Matthew Whitaker, the executive director of the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, a government watchdog group.

“It’s the kind of thing the American people are frustrated about is that the politically powerful have insider access and have these kind of relationships that ultimately appear to always break to the benefit of Hillary Clinton,” he added, comparing the Podesta-Kadzik meetings to the revelation that Attorney General Loretta Lynch met in private with Bill Clinton at the airport ..

Fluk the MSM and their criminally complicit posture. We’re at War with them and it’s just started. This will serve as a testament to the lawlessness which has accumulated these last eight years. When DT wins I hope a truly independent prosecutor will be appointed to thoroughly investigate the DOJ, the FBI, Clinton, Obama, etc.

Hillary hasn’t been in office for almost 4 years. Her staff meeting with top DOJ types is nothing but bribery and conspiring.

That "...an apparent conflict of interest" would be a lot more accurate written as "an apparent  obvious conflict of interest".

This is all exactly what the RICO act was made for.
Collusion on a grand scale of illegalities.
ALL these criminal mookabookers belong in prison or hanging form a rope.

Dinner was in the same month as :

OCTOBER 2015 : (DATTO TURNS CLINTON BACKUP DEVICE OVER TO THE FBI -— see JUDICIAL WATCH, DR LARRY KAWA) This Datto device contains more than emails, but also text messages, voicemails, IMs - everything. It was turned over to the FBI in October, 2015, and pretty much forgotten. Have they looked at it yet?

Maybe they had to screw up Libya because Qadaffi and his kid, after the fall of Saddam Hussein in Iraq, had turned Libya from being a client of Russia to warming relations with the West. Putin wants as much of a monopoly or at least a kind of controlling share of energy sales to Europe as he can get, because he has territorial ambitions. Would not be surprised if Russian mercs or their Iranian buddies were involved in taking out the US ambassador and exposing the CIA station nearby.
