DAILY UPDATE, Voters weigh stunning new evidence on election eve, Dozens of
shocking recent revelations hang over Clinton campaign, by Garth Kant, 11/6/16,

(Editor’s
note: Because of the fast-moving news cycle on the FBI investigation of Hillary
Clinton’s emails and the Clinton Foundation and related scandals, WND is
tracking all significant developments in one place for those who don’t have
time to scour all the headlines.)
WASHINGTON
– Hillary Clinton has arrived at a crossroads quite unlike anything any
American politician has ever faced. Her next
residence could either by the presidential mansion or prison. As voters weigh
their decision on election eve, they have an enormous amount of devastating new
information about Clinton to consider.
The week
leading up to the election was unlike anything in American history, with wave
after wave of stunning developments in the FBI’s investigation into the
Democratic presidential candidate’s email and foundation scandals. Additionally,
multiple news outlets reported last week that there are now at least five federal investigations
into the Clintons
and their close friends and associates.
Perhaps
the most explosive development came from Fox News, which reported that an
indictment of Clinton is likely. Then came
another shocking development on Friday, with a report that Huma Abedin,
Clinton’s closest aide, had turned against her.
Huma
Abedin
Abedin
reportedly “flipped” and began cooperating with investigators looking into
possible crimes by the former secretary of state. Breitbart reported that was
because Abedin fears she could go to jail over the scandal. Blackwater
founder and retired Navy SEAL Erik Prince said “well-placed” sources in the New
York Police Department told him “(Anthony) Weiner and Huma Abedin, his wife –
the closest adviser of Hillary Clinton for 20 years – have both flipped.” “They
are cooperating with the government,” Prince claimed. “They both have – they
see potential jail time of many years for their crimes, for Huma Abedin sending
and receiving and even storing hundreds of thousands of messages from the State
Department server and from Hillary Clinton’s own homebrew server, which
contained classified information. Weiner faces all kinds of exposure for the
inappropriate sexting that was going on and for other information that they
found.” The aide
who has been constantly at Clinton’s side for decades dropped off the campaign
trail almost immediately after news broke a week ago that the FBI had
discovered that vast trove of emails on her estranged husband’s laptop.
Although apparently exiled from the Clinton’s entourage, Abedin did appear at a campaign
fundraiser
Thursday evening in Washington. It was her first public appearance since she
left the campaign trail. Prince
also claimed the NYPD is “ready to make arrests” in the Weiner underage-sexting
case that led to the discovery of a reported 650,000 of his wife’s emails on
his laptop. And that
sources in the department told him the NYPD wanted to hold a press conference
but has been prevented by intense pressure from the Justice Department. Video:
‘The Goat is History’ He also
claimed, as the first ones to see the contents of the laptop, NYPD
investigators found criminal activity by Clinton and her immediate circle, then
forced the FBI to reopen the Clinton email investigation and go public with the
discovery of the Weiner emails, or they would.
Indictment
Two
sources “with intimate knowledge of the FBI investigations into the Clinton
emails and the Clinton Foundation” told Fox News’ Bret Baier last week that an
indictment is “likely” in the Clinton Foundation influence peddling scandal. The only
impediment would be “some obstruction in some way” from the Justice Department.
The big question for the Clinton campaign, and the country, would then be
whether any indictment comes down before the election on Nov. 8. Bret
Baier: FBI sources believe Clinton Foundation case moving toward indictment
Server
hacked
Another
bombshell from those sources was a “99 percent” probability the private email
server Clinton used for official business as secretary of state was hacked by
at least five foreign intelligence agencies. The sources also reported that
those foreign agencies did obtain information from Clinton’s server.
Clinton Foundation
investigation
In
addition to reporting the likelihood of an indictment in the inquiry, Fox’s
sources said investigators are “actively and aggressively” looking into the
Clinton Foundation.They said the investigation is “far more expansive than anybody
has reported so far,” it has been underway for more than a year and is a “very
high priority.” Contrary
to previous reports, the sources said the laptops of former Clinton chief of
staff Cheryl Mills, and other top aide Heather Samuelson, definitely have not been
destroyed. As part of an immunity agreement, the FBI had agreed to destroy
those laptops after its first, but more narrowly focused, review. A source
noted those immunity deals would have been revoked if the recipients were found
to have lied during the investigation. Agents are reportedly scouring the
laptops for evidence of pay-for-play, or influence peddling, by the former
secretary of state and the Clinton Foundation. The
investigation is so expansive that agents have re-interviewed numerous people
about case and interviewed other key figures for the first time. Agents
reported they gathered “a lot” of evidence even before the WikiLeaks
disclosure and “there is an avalanche of new information coming every day.”
Some of the fresh information is coming from WikiLeaks, some from new emails. The
Foundation investigation is reportedly being done by the white collar crime and
public corruption branch of the FBI’s criminal investigative
division. Bret Baier gives more details about FBI investigation into Clinton
Foundation
Email
investigation
The
investigation into classified emails on Clinton’s server and her aides’ devices
is reportedly being run by the FBI’s National Security division. CBS reported on Thursday evening that the FBI has found
emails “related” to Clinton’s role as secretary of state on Weiner’s laptop. Significantly,
they say the emails are not duplicates, meaning they are emails investigators
have not seen before. Equally significant, the sources in the original report
said some emails may contain classified information. Investigators
are said to be poring over previous statements made to the FBI by
Clinton and her aides to see if there is any conflict with the massive amount
of new information they are collecting. A special team of analysts from a
multi-agency task force is reportedly working in overlapping 16-hour shifts looking for new
evidence, including any classified information. They are reportedly using software
developed by FBI forensic experts that eliminates duplicates (emails the
department has already seen) and allows investigators to focus on new,
previously unseen material. According to Fox, once new records are identified,
investigators review the contents of those emails, then send them to
intelligence agencies for final classification.
Treason
The
chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee accused Hillary Clinton of treason on Thursday. Rep.
Michael McCaul, R-Texas, said that was because Clinton had exposed sensitive
information to foreign government hackers. “She exposed it to our enemies, and
now … our adversaries have this very sensitive information that not only
jeopardizes her and national security at home, but the men and women serving
overseas,” he charged. “In my opinion, quite frankly, it’s treason,” said
McCaul. He
continued, “The concern I’ve had all along is she has had seven special access
programs on these devices. Those are the most classified, sensitive secrets in
the federal government — many of them covert operations.” “She took those
devices overseas against the State Department’s wishes, and now we find out —
and (FBI Director) James Comey told me previously — that it’s very likely that
foreign adversary nations got into her private server,” McCaul concluded.
Justice
Department cover-up
Top
Justice Department officials ordered FBI investigators looking into the Clinton
Foundation to “stand down” back in February, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. The
Foundation investigation was kept alive, according to Fox, by agents who
obtained information from two informants and made a secret audio recording in a
different probe into public corruption. The agents were pursuing leads based on
claims made in the book “Clinton Cash” by Peter Schweizer. The FBI
reportedly believed it had enough evidence to prosecute Clinton but Justice
Department officials disagreed. A senior
Justice Department official phoned FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to
complain FBI agents were disobeying the stand down order. “Are you telling me
that I need to shut down a validly predicated investigation?” McCabe reportedly
asked. After a pause, the senior DOJ official was said to have replied, “Of
course not.”
FBI
rebellion
The
reopening of the Clinton email investigation was reportedly sparked by leaks
from rebellious FBI agents who were outraged when
Director James Comey recommended against indicting the former secretary of
state back in July. The
Guardian reported that Comey’s decision resulted in a “chaotic internal
climate” in the FBI. An FBI agent told the paper the reason agents are leaking
so much information is because “a large swath” support Trump and they consider
Clinton to be the “antichrist personified.” A former FBI agent said, “There are
lots of people who don’t think Trump is qualified, but also believe Clinton is
corrupt.”
Email
leaks not from Russia
WikiLeaks
founder Julian Assange said the Russian government is not the source of the
thousands of emails his website has published from Clinton campaign chairman
John Podesta. In an interview with Russia Today to be aired Saturday,
Assange said the “Clinton camp has been able to project a neo-McCarthyist
hysteria that Russia is responsible for everything.” Clinton
and other top Democrats have repeatedly and loudly insisted the leaks were done
by Russia to affect the presidential election. However, Clinton and other
Democrats have not disputed the contents of the emails. “Hillary
Clinton has stated multiple times, falsely, that 17 U.S. intelligence agencies
had assessed that Russia is the source of our publications,” said Assange.
“That’s false; we can say that the Russian government is not our source.” “I
actually feel quite sorry for Hillary Clinton as a person,” he added, “because
I see someone who is eaten alive by their ambitions, tormented literally to the
point where they become sick – for example, faint – as a result of going on, and
going with their ambitions.” “But she represents a whole network of people, and
a whole network of relationships with particular states,” Assange concluded.
Influence
pedaling
In
another excerpt of the interview released Friday, Assange said he believed the
most important email released by WikiLeaks was one in 2014 in which Clinton
admitted Qatar and Saudi Arabia were “providing clandestine financial and
logistic support to ISIL [Islamic State, IS, ISIS] and other radical Sunni groups.”
That’s because it is an admission the Saudis are funding both ISIS and Clinton.
And it smacks of influence pedaling, because the Clinton Foundation took
millions from the Saudis, and Secretary of State Clinton approved a massive
arms sale to the kingdom. The New York Times reported in August that the
kingdom of Saudi Arabia donated more than $10 million to the Clinton
Foundation, which the FBI had been reportedly investigating for selling
political influence for more than a year.
Assange
noted in the interview, “Under Hillary Clinton – and the Clinton emails reveal
a significant discussion of it – the biggest-ever arms deal in the world was
made with Saudi Arabia: more than $80 billion. During her tenure, the total
arms exports from the US doubled in dollar value.” The
WikiLeaks founder also observed, “All serious analysts know, and even the US
government has agreed, that some Saudi figures have been supporting ISIS and
funding ISIS, but the dodge has always been that it is some ‘rogue’ princes
using their oil money to do whatever they like, but actually the government
disapproves. But that email says that it is the government of Saudi Arabia, and
the government of Qatar that have been funding ISIS.”
Additionally,
Assange asserted the presidential election has been fixed to make sure Clinton
wins. “My analysis,” he said, “is that Trump would not be permitted to win. Why
do I say that? Because he has had every establishment off his side. Trump does
not have one establishment, maybe with the exception of the Evangelicals, if
you can call them an establishment. Banks, intelligence, arms companies,
foreign money, etc. are all united behind Hillary Clinton. And the media as
well. Media owners, and the journalists themselves.’
Podesta
warned Clinton
Lifezette
uncovered a Wikileaks email on Thursday in which Podesta implicitly warned Clinton of the dangers of
using her unsecured email system to discuss sensitive information.
In the
2014 emails, exchanged after she had resigned as secretary of state, Clinton
asked Podesta if he had “any idea whose fighters attacked Islamist positions in
Tripoli, Libya,” because it was “worth analyzing for future purposes.” Realizing
it was not an exchange that should be held on her unsecured email system,
Podesta warned, “Yes and interesting but not for this channel.” Another
Wikileaks email dug up by Lifezette suggests Podesta himself was warned as far
back as 2008 about the dangers of discussing sensitive information outside of official
government channels. President
Obama’s first chief of staff, Denis McDonough, wrote to fellow transition team
member Daniel Tarullo on Nov. 3, 2008, “I was struck by the memo partly because
it was first I had heard of it but much more because it was a sensitive doc
bumping around on public email addresses.” “There is
a very real threat to the security of our documents,” he added. Tarullo added
Podesta, who was also a member of Obama’s transition team, to the email chain. McDonough
then warned Podesta directly, “I know I’m like a broken record on this, but I
think we should arrange a briefing on the cyber threat for all associated with
your effort. We have a real security threat on our stuff here.”
Clinton
deleted classified email
The Daily Caller reported evidence that
one of the 33,000 emails Clinton deleted, which she claimed were personal
notes about yoga and weddings, was actually classified information sent to her
daughter Chelsea. The email
chain released by the State Department on Friday was recovered by the FBI from Clinton’s
private email server. The contents of the email are redacted because it has
information classified as “Confidential” and contains foreign government
information. The chain
began with Michael Froman, who was deputy assistant to President Obama and
deputy national security adviser for international economic affairs, and was
sent to Jake Sullivan, Clinton’s foreign policy adviser at the State
Department, and several Obama aides. Sullivan sent it to Hillary Clinton, who
forwarded it to Chelsea, under the fake name “Diane Reynolds.” The Sate
Department called the email a “near duplicate” to one it had released earlier,
the difference being Clinton deleted the response to her daughter. The
significance of that, as the Daily Caller noted, is Chelsea “is and was a
private citizen with no government role and no apparent security clearances.”
Meet with
Bill for $100,000
The Daily Caller found a WikiLeaks
email suggesting the price of a meeting with Bill Clinton was $100,000 or more. A memo
from Dec. 7, 2012 showed one businessman paid $100,000 and another paid $140,000
for a “Meeting with WJC,” which stands for William Jefferson Clinton. The man
who paid $140,000 for the meeting, Joe Kiani, the founder of medical device
maker Masimo, went on to pay Clinton $630,000 for speeches he gave in 2013 and
2014. Kiani
announced a patient safety initiative at a Clinton Global Initiative summit in
2013, which the former president praised. But the
Daily Caller reported “those efforts have come under scrutiny” ever since 2014,
when NPR publicized a Food and Drug Administration report accusing Masimo of
“failing to investigate dozens of claims about defective devices.”
Chelsea
‘not smart’
A
WikiLeaks email dug up on Friday by the Daily Caller revealed that Clinton
Foundation bigwig Doug Band ripped Chelsea Clinton as, “not smart.” Podesta
more than agreed with that assessment of Chelsea’s intellectual capacity,
replying “You are perfecting your skills for understatement.” That was
after learning in 2012 that not only had she apparently launched an internal
investigation of the Clinton Foundation’s finances, a Republican operative
learned of it after Chelsea told one of former President George W. Bush’s
daughters about it.
Hillary
will eventually sound human
Another
WikiLeaks email unearthed by the website on
Friday
featured a Democratic strategist saying of Clinton, “Eventually she will sound
like a human.” Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress,
wrote to Podesta on Aug. 26, 2015, about Clinton’s public response to the
disclosure of the existence of her private email server.
Tanden
described the difficulty the campaign was having in getting Clinton to explain
what she had done and why. “I read
what she said today. She’s actually moving,” Tanden told Podesta. “It seems to
me that if directly asked whether it was a mistake she may actually say it was.
She often says she absolutely won’t do something and then does it. Not always
but often. I would advise to stay at her and schedule multiple interviews soon!
Lock her in. Eventually she will sound like a human.”
