Investigative journalist John Solomon has uncovered a smoking-gun email from Obama’s Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates explicitly ordering FBI agents to shut down a criminal corruption probe into the Clinton Foundation.
(…) The most damning piece, however, according to John Solomon, is the document uncovered by FBI Director Kash Patel.
In it, Deputy AG Sally Yates directly instructs the FBI to “shut it down” the Clinton Foundation investigation, effectively granting the Clintons immunity from further scrutiny during the 2016 election cycle.
According to Solomon, several prosecutors have now stepped forward and are willing to cooperate with Congress and Trump-aligned investigators.
Patel reportedly has more explosive emails from Obama-era officials, which he intends to turn over to lawmakers.
John Solomon:
Tonight, we’re going to tell you about the other Clinton investigation — one that was running in three separate FBI offices: New York, Washington, and Little Rock. It was a predicated criminal investigation that was examining whether Hillary Clinton ran a pay-to-play scheme that delivered favors from her perch as Secretary of State, while foreigners and others paid large sums of money to her family foundation — the Clinton Foundation — run by Bill Clinton and their daughter, eventually Chelsea Clinton.Three separate agencies, three separate bureaus — offices of the FBI — believed they had predicated evidence to pursue. But every time they tried to move the ball down the road in the shadows of the 2016 election, they got shut down. I mean, they got shut down at the highest levels of their agency.
Andrew McCabe, the Deputy Director — a man who potentially had a conflict of interest with Hillary Clinton; his wife got money from Hillary Clinton’s former allies to run for a Virginia State Senate seat — attended the meeting where that assistance was solicited. He eventually was conflicted out, but not before he gave the order to his agents that: You won’t investigate or do anything on this unless I approve it.
Downstream from them, four different U.S. Attorneys’ offices under Barack Obama were asked for help by the agents. Agents need help. We need a grand jury. We need to get evidence. We want to move the case down the road. All three of those four offices told the agents: You’re on your own. We will not assist you in your pursuit of criminal charges against Hillary Clinton.
Then, perhaps the most extraordinary statement in the document — that we are going to show you on screen now — the Deputy Attorney General for Barack Obama, Sally Yates, explicitly told the FBI: Shut it down, meaning the corruption probes of Hillary Clinton.
Think about this: while Donald Trump was out on the campaign trail chanting Lock her up, maybe there was a good reason to lock up Hillary Clinton — he would argue that every night — the Obama Justice Department was telling the FBI agents who also thought there might be a reason to lock up Hillary Clinton: Shut it down. Remember those words.

But one last piece of note before I bring in Amanda: we have now confirmed tonight there are some prosecutors who have come forward and are willing to cooperate with Attorney General Pam Bondi and, of course, FBI Director Kash Patel — who found this document. He found this document based on some whistleblowers that Just the News had. He went and got it. He has other emails that he’s going to be turning over to Congress that I think will further this narrative.
This is the beginning. But we told you this was a double-headed scandal. The first part was pursuing false allegations against Republicans. The second was forming a protection racket around Democrats — a racket around Democrats like Hillary Clinton and the Biden family and others, including Joe Biden himself, when it came to classified documents.
