What does the GOP think the Clinton Foundation does?

I don't get it - Fox News is going after this thing like Wiley Coyote chases the Road Runner. What are they hoping to uncover? Are they expecting to find some ultra secret rogue intelligence agency like Kingsman? I mean... WTF?

Was married to a repug (he did have some decent qualities,) and he used the term 'do-gooder' as a pejorative. Really.

AMAZING that our daughters are such good people, the older is a REAL do-gooder, and thoroughly anti-repug.

Thinking of anyone else is something something completely beyond their understanding - They only know how to "take."

I think its better for investigations , would be good for the truth .

"The investigation, led by the FBI field office in Little Rock, Arkansas, is being overseen by the US attorney's office in the state, according to the source.

The inquiry was first reported by the The Hill, which cited law enforcement sources and a witness who was interviewed. "

"CNN reported in November 2016 that FBI agents had opened preliminary inquiries into whether there had been any impropriety in the foundation's dealings with donors, causing tensions within the bureau and the Justice Department.

During the Obama administration, criminal division leaders at the FBI met with the Justice Department's public integrity section to discuss whether to move forward on full-blown investigations of the foundation, including the ability to subpoena records.

While at the time Justice officials determined there wasn't sufficient evidence to proceed, they agreed with the FBI that agents be allowed to continue their work with the option to pursue more actively if they found additional evidence. There were also concerns within the Justice Department about the close proximity to the election, CNN reported at the time.
"It's just a message of 'hold right now until after the elections -- no subpoenas issued, no interviews,'" one law enforcement official familiar with the thinking told CNN at the time. "

Things like "ethics" and "partisanship" - they do not know or care what these things mean. They want totalitarian theocratic rule and they will stop at nothing to get it.
