Hillary Clinton is being investigated, again. No, not about her emails. This time, the Clinton Foundation is at the center of it all. The Washington Post has the story:
Investigators with the State Department issued a subpoena to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation last fall seeking documents about the charity’s projects that may have required approval from the federal government during Hillary Clinton’s term as secretary of state, according to people familiar with the subpoena and written correspondence about it.
The subpoena also asked for records related to Huma Abedin, a longtime Clinton aide who for six months in 2012 was employed simultaneously by the State Department, the foundation, Clinton’s personal office, and a private consulting firm with ties to the Clintons.
The full scope and status of the inquiry, conducted by the State Department’s inspector general, were not clear from the material correspondence reviewed by The Washington Post.
A foundation representative, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing inquiry, said the initial document request had been narrowed by investigators and that the foundation is not the focus of the probe.
A State IG spokesman declined to comment on that assessment or on the subpoena.
Representatives for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and Abedin also declined comment.
The news organization later detailed Abedin’s involvement in both organizations, and how it could spell trouble for the Clinton family.
Abedin served as deputy chief of staff at State starting in 2009. For the second half of 2012, she participated in the “special government employee” program that enabled her to work simultaneously in the State Department, the foundation, Hillary Clinton’s personal office and Teneo, a private consultancy with close ties to the Clintons.
Abedin has been a visible part of Hillary Clinton’s world since she served as an intern in the 1990s for the then-first lady while attending George Washington University. On the campaign trail, Clinton is rarely seen in public without Abedin somewhere nearby.
Republican lawmakers have alleged that foreign officials and other powerful interests with business before the U.S. government gave large donations to the Clinton Foundation to curry favor with a sitting secretary of state and a potential future president.
Both Clintons have dismissed those accusations, saying donors contributed to the $2 billion foundation to support its core missions: improving health care, education and environmental work around the world.
Another day, another story that further proves how unethical and dishonest of a political Hillary Clinton truly is. Don’t just take the Republicans’ word for it. Even the Democrats are turning against their once-standardbearer.
Among Democrat voters in New Hampshire who prioritized candidate honesty over all else, Hillary lost to Sanders by 80 points. Ouch.

Put a g*****n date on articles. Did this happen yesterday or when?
Hated woman and corrupt. Creepy laugh and a sinister sneer. I hope to see her behind bars for a long time. They need to round up half these dems and loc k them in a insane asylum
Nothing to see here. Any indictment of Hillary would be an indictment of the DEMOCRAT party. didn’t you get the memo? DEMOCRATS are never wrong. Just ask one.
