<p>Along with James Comey&rsquo;s overdue announcement that the FBI has decided to reopen the Clinton email investigation comes the news that a group of FBI agents attempted to launch a separate investigation ;into the Clinton Foundation during the original email server probe. ;</p>
<p>Their pleas were shut down the by Justice Department, whose public integrity unit insisted there was not enough evidence. ;</p>
<p>The FBI never actually contacted the Clinton Foundation, which suggests that the probe ;was in its early stages when it was denied. &ldquo;We are not aware of any investigation into the Foundation by the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, or any US Attorney&rsquo;s Office and we have not received a subpoena from any of those agencies,&rdquo; stated a Clinton Foundation official. ;</p>
<p>A group of FBI agents in New York are still pushing to investigate ;the alleged corruption and pay-for-play practices that occurred between the State Department and the Foundation during Hillary&#8217;s tenure as Secretary. ;</p>
<p>This information was leaked to the public Sunday, when the <em>Wall Street Journal</em> described in great detail the tense interactions between DOJ prosecutors and the FBI agents in NY.  ;</p>
<p>It is &ldquo;entirely inappropriate for anyone &ndash; agents or prosecutors &ndash; to bring their frustrations to the press,&rdquo; argues former FBI general counsel Howard Shapiro. Such leaks are forbidden because they can &ldquo;smear the reputation unfairly of individuals and organizations.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p><em>The Washington ;Post</em> was quick to point out the fact that public integrity section prosecutors are not politically appointed and to criticize Republicans and the FBI for attacking the so-called &ldquo;charity,&rdquo; but it really wouldn&rsquo;t surprise me if those prosecutors were secretly working for Hillary.</p>
<p><strong>Additional note:</strong> According to the<em> Daily Caller</em>, five local FBI offices have launched investigations into the Clinton Foundation. I&#8217;m sure more is to come.</p>
<p><strong>Editor&#8217;s note:</strong> It apparent to me the Justice Department values political loyalty over the rule of law. It&#8217;s a sad state of affairs.</p>
