DOJ inquiry tied to Clinton, touted by Trump winds down with no tangible results: report

Source: The Hill

BY REBECCA KLAR - 01/09/20 09:05 PM EST

A Department of Justice inquiry into Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation has effectively concluded without producing tangible results, The Washington Post reported Thursday.

The investigation has not formally ended and no official notice has been sent to the Justice Department or lawmakers, but the the U.S. attorney tapped in November 2017 to look into the concerns raised by President Trump and allies has largely finished his investigation, according to current and former law enforcement officials that spoke to the Post.

The investigation started after Trump and GOP allies in Congress raised concerns over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s ties to a Russian nuclear agency and the Clinton Foundation. Huber was tapped by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to look into the matters.

“We didn’t expect much of it, and neither did he,” one person familiar with the matter told the Post. “And as time went on, a lot of people just forgot about it.”

Absolutely. They make such a 'to-do' when accusing, but are silent as the grave when proven wrong. How many low-income school lunches could have been paid for with this wasted money? DAMN!!

this will never happen. If anything, Barr will keep this open as a matter and continue to devote investigative resources to it at the very least. He may even publicly spin it like the Mueller report and attempt to justify some form of prosecution of Hillary/Clintons. Attacks on Hillary, Obama, and the rest of the "corrupt, Godless" Dems is red meat for their followers and they will not do anything that could even remotely sabotage years of producing propaganda that cultivated such perceptions.

Another pubbie "witch hunt" (the real witch hunt) bites the dust. Watch these mofos completely ignore this finding and continue with the "What about Hillary" bs.

Although the odds of John Durham making something up (re: the "oranges" of the Russia investigation) would seem to be high.
Stay tuned, sports fans!

keep them tied up in knots defending themselves, Do what Trump does bury them in their own legal bullshit.

They have attacked her from everything from staying with Bill to running a pedophilia ring. I like to see Judicial Watch strangled to death with their own legal tactics.

Hell no. It plays well with his base, and we know that truth has never really been a thing with Trump.

What a malevolent POS.
