FBI's Clinton Foundation investigation now 'a very high priority,' sources say
FBI's Clinton Foundation investigation now 'a very high priority,' sources say

McCarthy: Not surprising Clinton Foundation being probed
The FBI's investigation into the Clinton Foundation that has been going on for more than a year has now taken a "very high priority," separate sources with intimate knowledge of the probe tell Fox News.
FBI agents have interviewed and re-interviewed multiple people on the foundation case, which is looking into possible pay for play interaction between then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation. The FBI's White Collar Crime Division is handling the investigation.
Even before the WikiLeaks dumps of alleged emails linked to the Clinton campaign, FBI agents had collected a great deal of evidence, law enforcement sources tell Fox News.
"There is an avalanche of new information coming in every day," one source told Fox News, who added some of the new information is coming from the WikiLeaks documents and new emails.
FBI agents are "actively and aggressively pursuing this case," and will be going back and interviewing the same people again, some for the third time, sources said.
Agents are also going through what Clinton and top aides have said in previous interviews and the FBI 302, documents agents use to report interviews they conduct, to make sure notes line up, according to sources.
Officials from the FBI did not immediately respond Wednesday to requests for comment by Fox News.

11-03-2016, 04:19 AM #2Judge asked to force Clinton email figure to testify
By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Tuesday, November 1, 2016
John Bentel shouldn’t be allowed to use his right to remain silent as a shield to protect former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her secret email server, a conservative legal group told a federal judge Tuesday.
Mr. Bentel, who oversaw Mrs. Clinton’s technology during her time at the State Department, refused last month to answer nearly 100 questions posed in a court-ordered deposition. Mr. Bentel claimed he had a Fifth Amendment right against incriminating himself.
But Judicial Watch, which conducted the deposition, said Mr. Bentel has no “legitimate fear” of legal jeopardy from his answers to some 87 of the questions, and the group asked Judge Emmet G. Sullivan to order Mr. Bentel to comply by testifying.
“He has not identified — let alone demonstrated — a fear of prosecution in answering any of the 87 questions asked of him during his deposition. Nor has he demonstrated any such fear is more than fanciful or merely speculation,” Michael Bekesha, a Judicial Watch lawyer, wrote to the court.
In a letter to Judicial Watch, Mr. Bentel’s lawyer said he doesn’t have to prove his remarks would be incriminating, only that they might raise legal danger.
“Mr. Bentel stands by the invocation of his Fifth Amendment rights,” Kyle Clark, the lawyer, wrote.
Judge Sullivan had initially approved deposing Mr. Bentel because he said the former official gave conflicting versions of his role in handling Mrs. Clinton’s email situation.
While he told Congress he didn’t know anything about Mrs. Clinton’s email, an inspector general said he was aware of the arrangement and even told underlings it had been approved. In one case, he told one of the whistleblowers that their mission was to back Mrs. Clinton up, and “instructed the staff never to speak of the secretary’s personal email system again.”
In fact, the FBI found that Mrs. Clinton didn’t ask permission and nobody had approved her arrangement.
Mr. Bentel joined Bryan Pagliano in refusing to answer any questions. Mr. Pagliano, who set up a version of the email server Mrs. Clinton used for official business, held a dual role, working both for the State Department and for the Clintons personally.
