Opening bids

Maybe there is something to the pay-to-play rumours flying around. Washinton Post reports:

Investigators with the State Department issued a subpoena to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation last fall seeking documents about the charity’s projects that may have required approval from the federal government during Hillary Clinton’s term as secretary of state, according to people familiar with the subpoena and written correspondence about it.
The subpoena also asked for records related to Huma Abedin, a longtime Clinton aide who for six months in 2012 was employed simultaneously by the State Department, the foundation, Clinton’s personal office, and a private consulting firm with ties to the Clintons.

Note, however, that this is a State Dept. subpoena, not FBI or any law-enforcement agency.

Bill’s Wife

When Hillary accidentally hits Reply All, she doesn’t muck around.
She’s just not getting the message this time. The press wants her out, the bureaucracy wants her out, the D’s want her out. The message being sent with all this drip-drip is a not-so-subtle get out now, before you ruin it for Biden or Bloomberg.
In that last link, you can safely ignore:

More recently, Democrats have pointed out that State’s inspector general also found 12 messages with information now deemed classified on a private email account of former Secretary of State Colin Powell and that of staff for Condoleezza Rice — though none reached the “top secret” level. Still, Democrats say those revelations show that the issue of retroactively classified material showing up on private servers is not restricted to just Clinton.

That statement references emails that Sec.State has the power to classify or declassify. The information originated within the State Department. The problem in the twenty-two Top Secret email chains is that the information originated from other agencies.
