Freedom Watch files racketeering lawsuit against the Clinton Foundation

  According to this story Freedom Watch has filed a racketeering lawsuit against the Clinton Foundation. Here is more:

Bill and Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation have been hit with a racketeering lawsuit in Florida court.

The lawsuit, filed by Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch, includes a legal request to have the Florida judge seize the private server on which Hillary Clinton and her aides hosted their emails while she served as secretary of state.

The racketeering, influenced and corrupt organizations, or RICO, case alleges the former first couple and their family philanthropy traded political favors for donations or generous speaking fees for Bill Clinton while his wife was the nation’s chief diplomat.

“Negotiations by email about influencing U.S. foreign policy or U.S. Government actions to benefit donors to … The Clinton Foundation or sponsors of speaking engagements would not be captured on a U.S. Government email account because her emails would not be with a U.S. Government official,” Klayman said in court documents obtained by the Washington Examiner.

“Hillary Clinton deleted 32,000 email messages from her email server that included her communications arranging, negotiating, and agreeing upon speaking engagements by Bill Clinton in return for large speaking fees and donations to The Clinton Foundation,” the documents, dated May 20, said.

    On the surface, especially after it came to  light Bill Clinton allegedly set up a shell company to funnel money from foreign nations into the Clinton Foundation, that the Clinton’s were involved in some type of quid pro quo or pay to play scheme with foreign nations but as of yet there has been no investigation so it seems as if this lawsuit might be premature.

  Most likely, in my opinion, this is not about racketeering but is an attempt to get a court to order Hillary Clinton to hand over her email server and I believe this is something which needs to be done in order to get to the bottom of this burgeoning scandal.

  I do not see this lawsuit going anywhere, it will most likely be thrown out, but one never knows. If this lawsuit does move on it could get quite interesting indeed.
