Clinton collected $73,437 from individuals who listed the “Department of Justice” as their employer. Twelve of the 228 contributions were for $2,700, the maximum individual amount allowed by law.
The fundraising haul marks a dramatic increase over Clinton’s unsuccessful presidential run in 2008, when she took in 23 contributions totaling $15,930 from employees at the agency, according to data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.
Trump, by comparison, has received little help from Justice Department employees, recording justtwo contributions for a total of $381.
Sanders has taken 51 donations totaling $8,900 from Justice Department employees.
Bossie stated,
“I’m not surprised in the least to see more evidence that shows the politicization of the Justice Department. How can Democrat political appointees fairly investigate someone who is about to become their nominee for president? That’s why last July I called on Attorney General Lynch to appoint an impartial special counsel to investigate the private Clinton email server.”
“Today, I renew my call that Attorney General Lynch must appoint a special counsel to determine if Hillary Clinton or her agents broke the law and compromised our national security,” he continued. “This investigation needs to be conducted free of political influence once and for all.”
At Politistick Greg Campbell reports that
Howard Krongard, the former inspector general of the State Department, has already noted that the case against Clinton is not likely to result in an indictment despite the overwhelming evidence of her guilt. Krongard claims that a decision to indict would have to pass through “four loyal Democratic women.”Read more here.
