GOP Looking for Zebras in the Forest — HINT: Zebras Don’t Live There

The Clinton's (as usual) focus of GOP mostly bogus probes

(Now: The Clinton Foundation)

What follows comes mostly from here and the other sites linked below related to this bogus story the GOP via FOX mostly is chasing with only one goal – taint the Hillary Clinton run anyway they can – facts don’t matter, only allegations and hype and the dirtiest of the dirty politics seen in years.

First, this backdrop about the Clinton Foundation – clearly stated for anyone to read.

Now the Republican BS game about the foundation – their wish and hope for full scale investigation based on opinions, and “as they say “unresolved media reports” and these highlights:

1.  Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) is that charge of GOP lawmakers by issuing a letter calling for the FBI, IRS, and FTC to resolve allegations into alleged “Pay for Play” operation at the Clinton Foundation. The letter asked those Federal organizations to investigate the foundation because of “unresolved media reports that suggest the foundation is a lawless pay to play enterprise,” despite the rumors or investigation and allegations been debunked by multiple fact-checkers. [Politico: 7/15/16]

2.  FOX News has been twisting words and confusing facts to without basis allege the Clinton Foundation was under investigation for months – which have all been debunked and proven false.

Now the truth based on the facts:

3.  Bloomberg Reports: Claims that the Clinton Foundation is under investigation “Have Never Been Confirmed” (published on July 18 via the Bloomberg primer about the Clinton Foundation, which it said in part has become a “target for Republicans”).

That report also noted those claims of illegal activity at the Clinton Foundation originated from the now-discredited anti-Clinton author Peter Schweizer in his debunked opposition research book “Clinton Cash.”

4.  Related: The FBI director, James Comey, declined to say whether the agency reviewed the foundation as part of its investigation into Clinton’s use of a private e-mail system while secretary of state.

5.  Bloomberg also reported that Schweizer has stated that there is no direct evidence of wrongdoing, and when directly asked this question: “Are these activities illegal?” He wrote: “That’s not for me to say."  [Bloomberg, 7/18/16]

Related to this subject from this link:

1.  Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) when asked about the Clinton email probe said in part:  “I specifically asked FBI Director Comey about the other people – what about the IT guy, what about the inner circle, what about the other things. And he quickly said, I can't tell you about that yet.” [Chaffetz explained on FOX’s Special Report – in this video clip].

2.  FOX News reported in January that the FBI expanded its investigation into Clinton's emails to include the possible intersection of State Department business and the Clinton Foundation and whether public corruption laws were violated (as chronicled in Peter Schweizer's book Clinton Cash).

Conclusion: Here we are stuck today, unfounded allegations and raw political BS with nothing official and simply innuendo to help the GOP garnish support and money to stay in power – will it work? Time will tell.

Thanks for stopping by.
