Why should we care that, two days after quietly meeting for a half hour with former President Bill Clinton, Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s Justice Department (not ours, not the way she and Barack Obama are running it) decided to withhold all emails between Teneo and the Clinton foundation for 27 months – way beyond this year’s presidential election?
Maybe this will help.
Excerpted from Rachel Bade’s article at politico.com:
A spring 2012 email to Hillary Clinton’s top State Department aide, Huma Abedin, asked for help winning a presidential appointment for a supporter of the Clinton Foundation, according to a chain obtained by POLITICO.
The messages illustrate the relationship between Clinton’s most trusted confidante and the private consulting company that asked for the favor, Teneo — a global firm that later hired Abedin. Abedin signed on with the company while she still held a State Department position, a dual employment that is now being examined by congressional investigators.
Abedin’s status as a “special government employee” has been questioned by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who has raised concerns about any overlapping duties and whether they posed potential conflicts of interest. Abedin also worked as an adviser to the Clinton Foundation, the nonprofit founded by former President Bill Clinton.
Why was Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s closest confidante, hired by Teneo? What was promised here? What did Teneo and the Clinton Foundation – both heavily tied to Clinton money – get from it?
If Loretta Lynch and her masters, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, get their way, you won’t know before heading for the voting both, will you?
The stench grows.
My congratulations to politico.com – not what you’d call a member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy – for putting out this story. I have a feeling it will be a lot more than the networks and major newspapers do, unless they absolutely have to.
