As the FBI’s investigation into the Clinton Foundation pressed on during the 2016 election, a senior official with the Obama justice department, identified as Matthew Axelrod, called former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe – who thought the DOJ was pressuring him to shut down the investigation, according to the recently released inspector general’s (OIG) report.
The official was “very pissed off” at the FBI, the report says, and demanded to know why the FBI was still pursuing the Clinton Foundation when the Justice Department considered the case dormant. –Washington Times
The OIG issued a criminal referral for McCabe based on findings that the former Deputy Director “made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor – including under oath – on multiple occasions.”
McCabe authorized a self-serving leak to the New York Times claiming that the FBI had not put the brakes on the Clinton Foundation investigation, during a period in which he was coming under fire over a $467,500 campaign donation his wife Jill took from Clinton pal Terry McAuliffe.
“It is bizarre — and that word can’t be used enough — to have the Justice Department call the FBI’s deputy director and try to influence the outcome of an active corruption investigation,” said James Wedick – a former FBI official who conducted corruption investigations at the bureau. “They can have some input, but they shouldn’t be operationally in control like it appears they were from this call.”
Wedick said he’s never fielded a call from the Justice Department about any of his cases during his 35 years there – which suggests an attempt at interference by the Obama administration.
As the Washington Times Jeff Mordock points out, Although the inspector general’s report did not identify the caller, former FBI and Justice Department officials said it

When is Alfred E. Sessions going to name this hack?
Or does he even care.
Isn’t this what the Democrats called “obstruction of justice” when they accused President Trump of doing it and demanded impeachment?
Bttt.
5.56mm
Aid and comfort to the enemy.
Worse than Watergate.
Much worse.
yep, projection.
Nevermind all the stuff McCabe did to harm Trump.
It’s perfectly okay to destroy President Trump with false accusations.
But don’t dare let the country know the truth about the untouchable obama.
Oh, way worse than Watergate.
Watergate was the Geico lizard. This is going to be Godzilla.
But wait, there’s more. Besides the whole scandal of Hillary’s private server releasing classified material to laundry list of America’s enemies and the subsequent FBI/DOJ whitewash”investigation”, there is:
The unlawful surveillance of the Trump campaign by the US government, based on lies paid for by the Clintons with the whole operation approved by Obama.
The criminal money laundering, pay-to-play fake charity known as the Clinton Foundation.
The true scale and impact of election fraud, and the number of illegal alien votes that are counted.
Oh, and on our side, while this was going on, the GOP was looking the other way, getting in on the action, flooding the labor force with illegals in exchange for payouts from the the likes of the US Chamber of Commerce and Wall Street, or perhaps they were too busy selling American manufacturing jobs to international fat cats to pay much attention.
It’s like Godzilla, Gamara and Mothra all got together to kick some Watergate gecko butt.
Soon President Trump’s main problem isn’t going to be any nonsense conjured up by Mueller, it’ll be managing how this information comes out so it keeps the Deplorables away from the tar and feathers, or worse.
Corruption is right.
Watergate was petty theft to this new Grand Larceny of corruption and abuse of power by the government to spy on Trump’s campaign and ruin his presidency.
When Obama does it, it's "Executive Privilege."

Isn’t that interfering with a criminal investigation and a presidential election? Why is this only coming to light now YEARS after the fact?
All roads lead to 0bama.
The Left wanted Nixon impeached in his first term, LONG before Watergate ever happened.
They wanted a reason, the outcome was previously determined.
Comey Stain and the Secret Police wanted insurance that Trump would be ousted in a silent coup.
Obama was smart in one basic aspect - his DOJ appointees worked for him, protected him, and pushed his agenda. Everyone realized that DOJ is the political nerve center of the US government.
Trump seems to have missed that important point with Sessions.
I checked everywhere I could on the net and couldn’t find a relation between David and Matthew Axelrod. Might be a coinky dink.
