It’s all unraveling at the Justice Department — and not quietly. The newly disclosed documents surrounding the Clinton Foundation probe have not only revived long-dormant questions about political favoritism during the Obama era but have also cracked open a fresh wave of scrutiny on the very figures who shaped the narrative of the 2016 election.
From James Comey to Sally Yates to Andrew McCabe, the timeline now emerging paints a damning picture of federal interference, institutional obstruction, and what appears to be a coordinated effort to keep the Clinton Foundation off-limits to criminal investigation.
The core revelation is this: career FBI agents in three major field offices—Little Rock, New York, and Washington D.C.—believed they had enough evidence to pursue public integrity cases tied to the Clinton Foundation. Foreign governments offering donations in exchange for access? Domestic entities doing the same while Clinton was Secretary of State? The predication was there. But the permission to act? That’s where the machine ground to a halt.
In a newly released memo obtained by Just the News, the pattern of obstruction becomes undeniable. As early as February 2016, Obama’s DOJ told the FBI it would not support the investigation.
That same month, Andrew McCabe, then-Deputy Director of the FBI, issued an order forbidding overt investigative steps without his direct sign-off. Agents were effectively handcuffed — denied even basic collection of documents. By March, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates reportedly ordered prosecutors to “shut it down.”
The signal from the top brass was unmistakable: do not pursue this.
Meanwhile, the timeline of interference parallels some of the most infamous moments of the 2016 cycle. June 2016, Loretta Lynch meets Bill Clinton on the Phoenix tarmac in what was either catastrophic optics or coordinated reassurance.
July 2016, James Comey closes the book publicly on Clinton’s email probe — even as the Foundation investigation remains muzzled behind the scenes. And while Clinton was being shielded, the FBI launched “Crossfire Hurricane” against Trump within days, on what even the Durham Report later acknowledged was a flimsy basis.
It’s impossible to ignore the contrast.
Even after Trump took office, DOJ officials began to drag their feet — now concerned about the statute of limitations. After stalling for nearly a year, they conveniently wanted to "move forward." But in 2025, Attorney General Pam Bondi appears to be reversing course, launching a full-scale strike force and grand jury to investigate not only the Clinton Foundation but the suppression effort itself. If indictments eventually emerge, this moment — this disclosure — will have been the turning point.
