Hillary Clinton: too networked to jailUPI, Aug 4, 2017, Madhav Das Nalapat
Aug. 4 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump is correct in his view that there seems no appetite within the Federal Bureau of Investigation or the U.S. Department of Justice to pursue an investigation into the Clinton Foundation, including the actual sources of the copious streams of cash that flowed into its coffers during the period when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State.
The grease of politics is money, lots of it, and neither the Democratic nor the Republican Party is immune to the effects and the influence of those who invest large sums of cash to individual politicians. They do this the way they make any other investment, which is to ensure that a handsome profit ensues in the future from the moneys spent in the present. In other words, pay today for favors tomorrow.

During the George W. Bush years, Bill Clinton in particular ensured a close personal relationship with the new president, thereby ensuring that his favorites could be inducted and promoted because of the goodwill of the 43rd president. Of course, when Obama was elected, the Clintons were back in full play, as the 44th president made his peace with the Clinton machine by allowing his administration to be dominated by Clinton loyalists. Hundreds of officials have therefore become part of the Clinton machine, including several who are nominally independent or Republican.
