Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a longtime Clinton confidant, helped steer $675,000 to the election campaign of the wife of an FBI official who went on to lead the probe into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email system, according to a report.
The political action committee of McAuliffe, the Clinton loyalist, gave $467,500 to the state Senate campaign of the wife of Andrew McCabe, who is now deputy director of the FBI, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The report states Jill McCabe received an additional $207,788 from the Virginia Democratic Party, which is heavily influenced by McAuliffe.
The money directed by McAuliffe began flowing two months after the FBI investigation into Clinton began in July 2015. Around that time, the candidate’s husband was promoted from running the Washington field office for the FBI to the No. 3 position at the bureau.
Within a year, McCabe was promoted to deputy director, the second-highest position in the bureau.
In a statement to the Journal, the FBI said McCabe “played no role, attended no events, and did not participate in fundraising or support of any kind. Months after the completion of her campaign, then-Associate Deputy Director McCabe was promoted to Deputy, where, in that position, he assumed for the first time, an oversight role in the investigation into Secretary Clinton’s emails.”
The governor’s office claimed the FBI’s McCabe met the governor only once — on March 7, 2015, when McAuliffe persuaded Jill McCabe to run.
The 2015 Virginia state Senate run — her first attempt to gain public office — was unsuccessful as she lost to the incumbent Republican.
McAuliffe “supported Jill McCabe because he believed she would be a good state senator. This is a customary practice for Virginia governors … Any insinuation that his support was tied to anything other than his desire to elect candidates who would help pass his agenda is ridiculous,” a spokesman for the Virginia governor told the Journal.
McAuliffe has been a longtime backer of the Clintons, even serving as Hillary Clinton’s campaign chair in 2008.
it simply doesn't matter what dirt you dig up on the Clintons. Her supporters do not care. They either already know they (the Clintons) are dirtier than home-made sin, or they believe that it's all just right wing lies.
Hillary is dirtier than sewer water sludge....if this train wreck wins, I hope all the Clinton-Lovers never complain.. no matter what she does... from lying to cover-ups... on het way to destroying our country. You made your bed, now lie in it.
No one cares. The only people interested are the working classes, and this government no longer needs them. As long as immigrants and the rich are here, that's all it needs to keep going.
The Clintons have done well. Came from little and through politics became millionaires. Parents tell your kids to skip school and start studying civil service. That's increasingly where the money will be for America.
.. on het way to destroying our country. You made your bed, now lie in it.
It's already gone. Hillary didn't do it, but she definitely didn't help much. She's apathetic because she knows the whole things is coming to an end. America today could never win a real war, or survive a serious crisis.
That explains a lot of the apathy in Washington towards the problems which exist. Everyone is just getting what they can before the ship sinks. Her included.
You cant convince liberals. They find excuses for her behavior. But no matter what, go out & vote. Thats the only way you can show support for your candidate. So use your power.

They won't. There will not be a single thing they condemn.

Nobody cares....
That's what happens when a pollster calls the only land line in 12345 zip code to get another opinion on who is leading the presidential race. The pollsters are stumped and anyone who believes the majority of voters don't care is the same group that believe in status quo in either party.
This is very troubling to me. I try to be respectful of various opinions in general, including others' candidate of choice in elections. But, for the life of me, I don't understand my friends and family who keep loudly proclaiming their admiration and support for Hillary. It would be one thing to think, "ok, I can't stand Trump, so Hillary is the lesser of two evils" (a conclusion that is hard for me to fully grasp, but I could fathom someone feeling that way.) But for people who seem to truly adore her?? How can they overlook instance after instance of corruption??
BTW, I think they are both awful which is why I'm voting for Johnson.
