Goodlatte: Allegations of Political Pressure to Shutter Clinton .. Probe Must Be Investigated <tr>
House of Representatives Judiciary Committee ^

Posted on 05/04/2018 12:51:15 PM PDT by bryan999

Washington, D.C. – House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) today called for an investigation into allegations that the Obama Justice Department pressured the FBI to shut down its Clinton Foundation probe during the 2016 presidential election.

A recent report issued by the Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General contained disturbing information that the Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General, who is the top staff person in the Office of the Deputy Attorney General and advises on all major investigations and policy matters, called former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to express displeasure that FBI agents were pursuing a probe into the Clinton Foundation during the election season. The Deputy Attorney General at the time was Sally Yates, who was appointed to her post by President Obama.

In a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Chairman Goodlatte calls for the Justice Department to investigate allegations that senior officials at the Obama Justice Department sought to hamper the FBI’s investigation into the Clinton Foundation and to hold any wrongdoers accountable.

Below is the text of the letter. The signed copy can be found HERE.

Not just that. They need several investigations.

1) Comey-Lynch-Brennan-McCabe-Szrok-Page-Muellergate (and there are multiple leads on that)

2) Clinton Foundation

3) Uranium One

4) Clinton Email

5) IRSgate

6) Fast and Furious

Obama, the president who did obstruct justice and the DOJ shows no interest in doing their job of which they swore an oath to do and are getting paid to do. Why is the US government the only employer in this country that allows it’s employees to decide how much they earn, when they do their job and what they do per their jobs? A system like this one cannot survive.

Does the "Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General" have a name?
