As the FBIs 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 generals (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 cant be used enough to have the Justice Department call the FBIs 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 shouldnt be operationally in control like it appears they were from this call.
Wedick said hes 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 generals report did not identify the caller, former FBI and Justice Department officials said it
