BOMBSHELL: Kash Patel Uncovers Obama Deputy AG Sally Yates’ Email Ordering FBI Agents to Shut Down Clinton Foundation Corruption Investigation — “SHUT IT DOWN”
Investigative journalist John Solomon has uncovered a smoking-gun email from Obama’s Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates explicitly ordering FBI agents to shut down a criminal corruption probe into the Clinton Foundation.
Thanks to Judicial Watch, the American public was made aware of Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
Hillary Clinton conducted official business on a non-government server so she could hide her Clinton Foundation pay-to-play while she was head of the Department of State.
According to emails obtained by Judicial Watch, Hillary Clinton gave preferential treatment to Clinton Foundation donors while she was Secretary of State.
In fact, Judge Royce Lamberth previously said Clinton’s use of private emails was “one of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency.”
Now, according to John Solomon, the investigation, quietly running in New York, Washington, D.C., and Little Rock, was reportedly a fully predicated criminal case examining whether Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, ran a pay-to-play influence racket.
According to Solomon, FBI agents had reason to believe foreign nationals and other deep-pocketed donors bought access and favors from the State Department in exchange for massive contributions to the Clinton Foundation, all while the Obama DOJ looked the other way.
At the time, then–FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, whose wife took campaign cash from a Clinton ally while he personally attended the meeting to solicit the funds, allegedly locked down the investigation, ordering that no action be taken without his personal approval.

Trump Administration Can Withhold Billions in Aid, Appeals Court Rules
A federal appeals court panel cleared the way on Wednesday for the Trump administration to continue refusing to spend billions of dollars in foreign aid, finding that aid organizations that had sued to recover the money lacked the legal right to bring the challenge.
The decision, which centered on President Trump’s authority to withhold funding already appropriated by Congress, handed the White House a significant legal victory. Since taking office, Mr. Trump and his advisers have consistently claimed expansive authority to freeze federal dollars allocated for projects they have endeavored to snuff out — an action known as impoundment that legal scholars and aid groups had considered to be strictly limited under federal law.
But by a 2-to-1 vote, the appeals court panel ruled that under the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, only the Government Accountability Office, which serves as Congress's independent watchdog, could challenge the president’s efforts to withhold foreign aid funding. The panel found that groups that receive government funding — in this instance, a number of global health nonprofits — do not have cause to challenge Mr. Trump’s funding cuts.
The decision lifted a lower court’s order that had required the administration to continue processing foreign aid payments with funds Congress had budgeted.
In finding that the Trump administration had unlawfully delayed money Congress appropriated, a lower court previously required the government to make available all the foreign assistance funds Congress allocated for fiscal year 2024. That included nearly $4 billion to spend on global health activities until September, and more than $6 billion for H.I.V./AIDS programs through 2028.
Barring further action from the courts, the ruling gave the Trump administration leeway to slash the funds, cut the agencies that administer foreign assistance programs...
