IRS Just Dealt Hillary a Massive Blow She Didn’t See Coming, Investigation Being Launched…
By Ricard Pollock. IRS Commissioner John Koskinen referred congressional charges of corrupt Clinton Foundation “pay-to-play” activities to his tax agency’s exempt operations office for investigation, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.
The request to investigate the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation on charges of “public corruption” was made in a July 15 letter by 64 House Republicans to the IRS, FBI and Federal Trade Commission (FTC). They charged the foundation is “lawless.”
The initiative is being led by Rep. Marsha Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican who serves as the vice chairwoman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, which oversees FTC. The FTC regulates public charities alongside the IRS.
The lawmakers charged the Clinton Foundation is a “lawless ‘pay-to-play’ enterprise that has been operating under a cloak of philanthropy for years and should be investigated.”
Koskinen’s July 22 reply came only a week after the House Republicans contacted the tax agency. It arrived to their offices Monday, the first opening day of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

Clinton Fundraises off Polls Showing Her Losing
By Jesse Byrnes. Hillary Clinton’s campaign is fundraising off polls that show her lead over Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has evaporated.
“I’m pointing this out because it’s part of a broader trend,” Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook wrote in an email to supporters of the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee about the polling.
“Poll after poll is showing that Trump has been eating away at our lead, and after his convention, he’s erased it entirely,” Mook added.
While the campaign aide argued they expected “some of that,” as candidates traditionally get a bounce after their conventions, “that doesn’t make these next few weeks any less critical.”
The fundraising appeal asks for supporters to pitch in $1 for Clinton’s campaign. A button in the email directs viewers to the campaign website where amounts range from $5 to $500. (Read more from “Clinton Fundraises off Polls Showing Her Losing” HERE)
