https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.va...-justice-department-investigation-results/amp Surprise, Surprise: The DOJ’s Hillary Clinton Investigation Has Been a Bust ALISON DURKEE JANUARY 9, 2020 9:45 PM Back in 2017, buoyed by President Donald Trump’s calls for investigations into “Crooked Hillary & the Dems,” the Justice Department launched an inquiry into Hillary Clinton and Republicans' pet conspiracy theories about her and her career. Then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions asked U.S. Attorney John Huber to look into concerns that the FBI hadn't fully pursued cases related to the Clinton Foundation, as well as Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State, including the baseless “Uranium One” conspiracy theory championed by conservatives. Now, Huber is finally almost finished with his much-vaunted Clinton investigation—and, unsurprisingly, there isn't really anything to show for it. The Washington Post reported Thursday that after continuing on for more than two years, Huber's investigation “has effectively ended with no tangible results.” After combing through documents and conferring with federal law enforcement officials looking into the Clinton Foundation in Little Rock, Arkansas, the Post reports that Huber has “found nothing worth pursuing,” let alone any criminal charges. The U.S. attorney has not yet officially reported any results to the Justice Department, however, and the inquiry is technically still ongoing. But officials cited by the Post say that Huber's years-long investigation has by this point “largely finished”—and with nothing to show for it. Despite Republicans' long insistence on Clinton's wrongdoing—and Trump's favorite “lock her up” rallying cry—the fact that the Huber investigation has reportedly been a bust doesn't seem to come as much surprise to those inside the Justice Department itself. Senior Justice officials cited by the Post said that the investigation had largely been viewed as little more than a way to appease Trump and his Republican allies, and officials expected the inquiry was “unlikely to lead to anything of significance.” “We didn’t expect much of it, and neither did [Huber],” one source told the Post. “And as time went on, a lot of people just forgot about it.” The news of the DOJ's fruitless investigation comes just a few months after the State Department completed its own investigation into Clinton's emails and use of a private server, which found that while 38 individuals did commit 91 security violations in emails sent to or from the private server, ultimately the server largely wasn't used for transmitting classified information. “While there were some instances of classified information being inappropriately introduced into an unclassified system in furtherance of expedience, by and large, the individuals interviewed were aware of security policies and did their best to implement them in their operations,” a report on the investigation said. “There was no persuasive evidence of systemic, deliberate mishandling of classified information.” Of course, Clinton being cleared of wrongdoing by Trump's own executive branch isn't about to stop the president from bashing Hillary nonetheless. (Never mind the fact that six of Trump's own associates have been convicted of crimes, or that private email use has reportedly been rampant throughout the Trump administration.) Less than an hour after the Post report came out, Trump was back on the campaign trail attacking Hillary, repeating his favorite 2016 talking points to a crowd of supporters—Clinton's innocence be damned. “Crooked Hillary—you should lock her up, I'll tell you,” Trump told supporters.

Trump is involved in an election and has very effectively neutralized or turned the tables on the dems original campaign issues. 1) Metoo campaign that they had planned to use against Trump. They don't want to go there and do not want to touch that issue with a ten foot pole. 2) Trump's allegation that he was witch-hunted and that the fbi was headed by dirty cops and that they had no real evidence against him, and that the fisa court was defrauded with a fake dossier and that Comey was a shit-bum. His argument is stronger than ever now and the dems are no where near as interested in investigating it further - let alone using it against him. 3) Impeachment/ukraine scam. Dems do not want to go there. Too touchy a subject for Joe. 4) Ditto for corruption. Burisma, China, etc. The dems are nowhere near as interested in making corruption by Trump or family members a campaign issue. It will only end out blowing both of Joe's legs off. We have had this discussion before where you try to allege that because no one has been locked up over anything that Trump has gained nothing from confronting all of those issues and fighting back. Politically he has neutralized the major issues that the opposing campaign planned to use against him. Unless you want to read down through those items I listed above and tell me that the dems are anxious to go there. Because if they are, good, because Trump plans on going there. Corona is the only weapon the dems have to work with now. And that is subject to change and no one thinks that Joe is the savior there or could do better. He is more likely to be on a ventilator himself in the next year than he is to provide leadership during a pandemic. Your argument that Obama is out of office so Trump should accept the fact that he is President now and move on rather than going after Barry is noted - and rejected. Although, no one doubts that you lefties are willing to move on and put an end to all the investigations when Obama era events and material are in the crosshairs. Not so ironically, you lefterrhoids are the same ones who just spent 3.5 years not accepting the last election and forced Trump to live face to face with everything that happened/did not happen before the election. Unfortunately for you though, there will be no overlooking Obama and Company now and in the coming months. MORE TO COME.
I'm kinda' missing the whole Obama point. He served his two terms, he's out of the picture. The frack does Obama care about now, he's retired and has secret-service for life, what would he be trying to accomplish? I admit, I have not read through this thread thoroughly, just glancing at the walls of text, so I may have missed some details and nuance.
Oh definitely and they are still at work. Eric Salmonella the whistlespy worked with Brennan. And as I have said about ten times, Durham needs to capture every text, phone call, email, interaction between Brennan and Salmonella both while Brennan was in office and after Brennan left and leading up to the Ukraine impeachment scam.
