According to Fox News Digital, this\u2064 same individual is now\u2062 involved in special counsel Jack Smith&#8217;s investigation into former \u2063President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecutor in question is Raymond Hulser, who was identified in former special counsel John Durham&#8217;s\u2062 report as someone who &#8220;declined prosecution on behalf of the Public\u2063 Integrity Section&#8221; when faced \u200dwith allegations of financial wrongdoing\u2064 by\u200b the Clinton Foundation.<\/p>\n<h3>A Troubling Connection<\/h3>\n<p>Hulser&#8217;s\u2062 career at \u2063the Department of Justice began in the Public Integrity\u200c Section of the Criminal Division, where he eventually became \u200bchief in 2015. Interestingly, Hulser and \u200bSmith had\u200c previously worked together when Smith led the Public \u2062Integrity\u2064 Section under the Obama administration. Now, they find themselves collaborating on \u2062cases against Trump \u2062in both Washington \u200band Florida.<\/p>\n<h3>The FBI&#8217;s Negligence<\/h3>\n<p>Durham&#8217;s report not only criticized the FBI for \u2062its hasty approach \u2063to the Trump-Russia\u2063 investigation but also shed light \u200con a potential federal\u200b investigation into \u200bthe Clinton Foundation. \u200cIt revealed that\u200c three different FBI \u2064field offices had initiated investigations into potential <a title=\"Grassley warns FBI and DOJ to cooperate with subpoena or risk credibility damage.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senator-grassley-fbi-and-doj-will-damage-their-credibility-further-if-they-dont-cooperate-with-subpoena\/\">criminal activity involving<\/a> the foundation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Beginning in January 2016,\u200c three different FBI\u200d field offices, the \u2063New York Field Office (&#8216;NYFO&#8217;), the\u2063 Washington Field Office (&#8216;WFO&#8217;), and \u200bthe Little Rock Field \u2063Office (&#8216;LRFO&#8217;), opened\u200c investigations into possible\u2062 criminal activity involving the Clinton Foundation,&#8221; Durham wrote in his extensive report.<\/p>\n<h3>Explosive Allegations<\/h3>\n<p>The investigation in Washington was prompted \u200dby allegations\u2062 made in Peter Schweizer&#8217;s book &#8220;Clinton Cash,&#8221; \u200dwhich claimed that the Clintons had accepted\u2064 millions \u2062in donations from foreign governments and Russian corporations\u200d to influence foreign\u200c policy. These allegations date back to Hillary Clinton&#8217;s tenure as secretary of state.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI admitted that the NYFO and WFO investigations were initiated based on unverified information from the &#8220;Clinton Cash&#8221; book \u2062and <a title=\"Wray Declines to Confirm FBI\u2019s Use of Geolocation Data to Track Capitol Rioters But Says It \u2018Would Not Surprise Me\u2019\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wray-declines-to-confirm-fbis-use-of-geolocation-data-to-track-capitol-rioters-but-says-it-would-not-surprise-me\/\">confidential human sources<\/a>. However, several meetings were held, including some\u2062 at FBI Headquarters, \u200cto discuss the allegations against\u200b the Clinton Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>During\u200b one of \u200dthese meetings, Hulser criticized the \u2062FBI&#8217;s presentation \u200dand argued that there was insufficient justification \u2063for at least one of the investigations due to its reliance on allegations from a book. He also downplayed the significance of\u200d the\u200d financial reporting, referring to the amount involved as &#8220;de minimis.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>A Complex Financial Web<\/h3>\n<p>Durham&#8217;s team thoroughly examined\u200d the financial reporting and concluded that it did not <a title=\"Zeldin Accuses State Department of Sanctioning Former Albanian President as Retribution for Loyalty to Republicans\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/zeldin-accuses-state-department-of-sanctioning-former-albanian-president-as-retribution-for-loyalty-to-republicans\/\">provide concrete evidence<\/a> of wrongdoing.\u2062 However, a\u2064 source familiar with the matter revealed that \u200cmultiple Suspicious \u2062Activity Reports\u2064 (SARs) were filed in connection with the Clinton Foundation during \u200dthat time. These reports\u2064 raised concerns about potential\u200d bribery or gratuity violations.<\/p>\n<p>In response to \u200dthe Durham \u200creport, \u2064a spokesperson for the Clinton\u200c Foundation vehemently denied any involvement in criminal activity, emphasizing that the foundation has\u200d always operated with integrity. They also highlighted that the Clintons themselves have been major donors to the foundation.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Examiner has reached out to both the Clinton Foundation and the DOJ&#8217;s Office of Public Affairs for further comment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to read more from the Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>How did Hulser\u2064 hinder the progress of the\u2062 FBI&#8217;s \u200cinvestigation \u200binto the Clinton Foundation?<\/h2>\n<p>Report.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite \u2062the initiation of these investigations, \u2064it seems that Hulser, in his\u200d capacity as chief of the Public Integrity Section, hindered the progress of the FBI&#8217;s investigation. The report states that &#8220;Hulser\u200b declined to authorize subpoenas, obtained by the NYFO,\u200d to obtain evidence that would help to establish \u200cwhat, if any, involvement the corrupt Clinton Foundation\u200d \u200chad in the criminal conduct being investigated \u200dby the \u200bNYFO.&#8221; This obstruction raises serious questions \u200dabout Hulser&#8217;s \u2062motives\u200b and his potential bias in favor of \u2063the Clinton Foundation.<\/p>\n<h3>A Pattern of\u200b Favoritism<\/h3>\n<p>This latest revelation adds to a growing list of instances where \u200ctop officials within the\u200b Department of \u2064Justice and the FBI have been accused of showing favoritism \u2064towards the Clintons. Most notably, the handling of the investigation\u2064 into\u2064 Hillary Clinton&#8217;s <a title=\"BREAKING: 73,976 Ballots Released By Maricopa County \u2014 56.1% FOR DONALD TRUMP\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-73976-ballots-released-by-maricopa-county-56-1-for-donald-trump\/\">private email server<\/a> has been heavily criticized\u2063 for its lack of objectivity and impartiality. It seems that \u2064this favoritism \u2062extended \u200bto the investigation into the\u200d Clinton \u2064Foundation as \u200dwell.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the connection between Hulser and Smith raises\u2064 concerns about the impartiality of \u2064the ongoing investigations involving President Trump. With Hulser involved \u200din\u2064 the investigation into the Clinton Foundation and now collaborating with Smith\u2064 on cases against Trump, it is difficult to believe \u200bthat the investigations are being conducted in \u2064a fair and \u200cunbiased manner.<\/p>\n<h3>The Need for Accountability<\/h3>\n<p>The revelation of Hulser&#8217;s attempts \u200dto\u2062 hinder the\u2062 FBI&#8217;s investigation into the Clinton Foundation \u2064is a disturbing revelation that raises serious questions\u2062 about the integrity and fairness of our justice system. If top prosecutors can manipulate investigations based on their personal biases \u2063and political affiliations, it undermines the trust that the public places in \u2064these institutions.<\/p>\n<p>There must be accountability for such actions. An independent investigation into Hulser&#8217;s behavior \u2064and the decisions made within the Department of Justice \u2064regarding the Clinton Foundation\u2063 investigation is warranted. The American people deserve\u200c to\u200c know the truth and have confidence that justice is being served\u200d without prejudice or political\u2064 influence.<\/p>\n<h3>A\u200c Call for Transparency<\/h3>\n<p>This revelation emphasizes the\u2062 need\u2063 for transparency and \u200caccountability within our justice system. The American people have \u2062a right to know about any attempts to obstruct or influence investigations, regardless of the individuals\u200b or organizations involved. It \u2063is crucial\u200d that the Department of Justice and\u200d the FBI prioritize\u200c impartiality and fairness in their investigations, and take\u2064 swift \u2062action to \u200daddress any missteps or misconduct.<\/p>\n<p>Only through transparency and accountability can we \u200cbegin to restore trust in our justice system\u2064 and ensure that \u2064investigations are conducted with integrity, without \u2062political biases, and with the best interests \u2064of the American people at heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent report by Fox News Digital reveals that a prominent prosecutor attempted to block an FBI inquiry into the Clinton Foundation in 2016.
