ANOTHER
CLINTON CORRUPTION BOMBSHELL: The political organization of longtime Clinton
insider and Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe gave nearly $500,000 to the State
Senate campaign of Jill McCabe, the wife of a senior FBI official who helped
oversee the criminal probe into Clinton’s email server.
The Wall Street Journal
reports:
The political
organization of Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, an influential Democrat with longstanding
ties to Bill and Hillary Clinton, gave nearly $500,000 to the election campaign
of the wife of an official at the Federal Bureau of Investigation who later
helped oversee the investigation into Mrs. Clinton’s email use.
Campaign
finance records show Mr. McAuliffe’s political-action committee donated
$467,500 to the 2015 state Senate campaign of Dr. Jill McCabe, who is married
to Andrew McCabe, now the deputy director of the FBI.
The Virginia Democratic
Party, over which Mr. McAuliffe exerts considerable control, donated an
additional $207,788 worth of support to Dr. McCabe’s campaign in the form of
mailers, according to the records.
That adds up to slightly more than $675,000
to her candidacy from entities either directly under Mr. McAuliffe’s control or
strongly influenced by him.
The figure represents more than a third of all the
campaign funds Dr. McCabe raised in the effort.
Clinton
campaign chairman John Podesta’s ties to Russian business interests, and his
possible attempts to avoid disclosure, are coming under scrutiny.
The Wall
Street Journal’s James Freeman writes:
Hillary Clinton
campaign chairman John Podesta has responded to the WikiLeaks publication of
his private emails by suggesting they were stolen by the Russians to elect
Donald Trump.
What he doesn’t like to talk about is the business he’s done with
a Kremlin-backed investment firm and the lengths he’s gone to avoid scrutiny of
this relationship.
About eight months after Mr. Podesta joined Joule in 2011,
an investment fund backed by the Russian government, Rusnano, announced plans
to invest about $35 million in the company.
Several months later, Joule
announced that Rusnano Chairman Anatoly Chubais was joining its board of
directors.
Around the same time, Mr. Podesta joined Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton’s Foreign Affairs Policy Board …
In
Nevada, the state’s largest newspaper backed Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal editorializes:
[L]et us not be distracted by the social media sideshows and carnival
clatter.
Substantive issues are in play this November.
Our allies on the world
stage watch nervously as America retreats from its position of strong
leadership leaving strife and conflict rushing to fill the void.
The past eight
years have pushed us $20 trillion into debt, obligations that will burden our
children and grandchildren.
The nation’s economy sputters under the growing
weight of federal edicts and regulations that smother growth and innovation.
Obamacare threatens to crash and burn.
The middle class struggles.
An
administration promising hope and unity instead brought division.
Yet Hillary
Clinton promises to lead us down the same path.
She’ll cuddle up to the ways
and perks of Washington like she would to a cozy old blanket.
Complied by the RNC.
