The Clinton email scandal hasn't faded away after Hillary Clinton's resounding defeat in the 2016 presidential election. The case still raises a lot of questions, while
tens of thousands of documents have yet to surface. Speaking to Sputnik Jan R. Weinberg, founder of Show Up! America, stressed that there is
more to the case than meets the eye. Although Hillary Clinton lost the political race,
the so-called Clinton email scandal continues to smolder. The reason behind this phenomenon is pretty obvious: too many questions still remain unanswered.
After the Federal Investigation Bureau (FBI) closed the Clinton email case for the second time on the eve of the US presidential election it seemed that it was over.
However, in early January FBI quietly released the fifth batch of Hillary Clinton documents while the nation was enjoying the NFL Wildcard Playoffs. "FBI quietly releases new Hillary Clinton investigation documents (part 5) [as yet, no announcement]," WikiLeaks tweeted on January 9.
On February 4 the sixth part of the FBI's Clinton investigation was published on the agency's website, signaling that the probe is still under way.
That was confirmed by House of Representatives Oversight Committee chairman Jason Chaffetz, who
told journalists on January 26 that the investigation continues. "There are still a lot of unanswered questions. We don't have literally tens of thousands of documents that we still need," Chaffetz told Fox News.
Comment: American defense contractors donated to the Clinton Foundation, in some cases made personal payments to Bill Clinton under the guise of speaking engagements. These firms and subsidiaries were listed as contractors in $163 billion worth of Pentagon-negotiated deals that were authorized by the Clinton State Department between 2009 and 2012. In addition, the State Department was complicit with Secretary Clinton in the approval of $165 B worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations and $151B in separate Pentagon-brokered deals for 16 nations, all of which gave money to the CF.
Consider the corruption factor: a gross case of abuse of position for personal gain while compromising the integrity of the State Department in betrayal of the American people. Pay to Play; Influence and Reward. The criteria for these deals seems crystal clear.
Comment: Ideally, rules are made to get all parties to conform to a set of standards and thereby common understandings. Unfortunately, those who have the power to make the rules usually make them for someone else.
