Terry McAuliffe is trending nationally, but he probably wishes he weren’t, because it’s on account of his being investigated by the FBI!!
Here’s more from CNN:
Virginia Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe is the subject of an ongoing investigation by the FBI and prosecutors from the Justice Department’s public integrity unit, U.S. officials briefed on the probe say.
The investigation dates to at least last year and has focused, at least in part, on whether donations to his gubernatorial campaign violated the law, the officials said.
McAuliffe wasn’t notified by investigators that he is a target of the probe, according to the officials.
“The Governor will certainly cooperate with the government if he is contacted about it,” said Marc Elias, attorney for McAuliffe campaign, in a statement to CNN.
As part of the probe, the officials said, investigators have scrutinized McAuliffe’s time as a board member of the Clinton Global Initiative, a vehicle of the charitable foundation set up by former President Bill Clinton.
There’s no allegation that the foundation did anything improper; the probe has focused on McAuliffe and the electoral campaign donations, the officials said.
Spokespeople for the Justice Department and the FBI declined to comment.
AllahPundit at Hot Air explains how close Terry is with the Clintons:
He was chairman of Hillary’s campaign in 2008, co-chair of Bill’s reelection campaign in 1996, and head of the DNC during Dubya’s first term before becoming governor in 2014. He’s raised mountains of money for Democrats, especially the Clintons. He held a fundraiser for Hillary literally yesterday. Trump will have some fun with that in his next “Crooked Hillary” broadside — assuming the media doesn’t remind people that he gave $25,000 to McAuliffe’s gubernatorial campaign himself.
With Hillary also being under investigation maybe they should just make the Democratic National Convention a prison and seal the doors this year!!
Where’s Ken Cuccinelli when you need him!?!?
