Which Way Did It Go?

We got a detailed report today about the FBI investigation of Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe, and it raises an interesting question.  The FBI is focused on McAuliffe's fund raising for his gubernatorial campaign in 2013 as well as on contributions made to the Clinton foundation where McAuliffe served as a director.  The question is whether the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton led to this investigation into McAuliffe or vice versa?  It may be that the two are unrelated, but I doubt that.  We have an exhaustive look into Hillary's email and her activities with the foundation.  Now we have another big investigation into her close friend (McAuliffe was the chairman of Hillary's 2008 run for president) and director of the foundation.

We will need to wait to see what the FBI uncovers, but none of this is good news for Hillary Clinton and her campaign.  The last thing she needs is yet another FBI investigation sniffing around the Clinton foundation. 

There's been no comment yet from governor McAuliffe.  My prediction is that he announces that the FBI is actually doing a security review of his campaign contributions and that he has told his staff to cooperate fully with the FBI.  Then tomorrow we will learn that all of the records of his campaign were inadvertently shredded.
