The Horowitz report may explain the motivation behind Hillary
Clinton and her associates relying so heavily on secret private
servers, Wall Street analyst Charles Ortel told Sputnik, adding
that the report is likely to trigger US voters’ interest in the
upcoming 2018 mid-term elections and 2020 presidential race.
“The biggest question likely to come out of the forthcoming
Horowitz report is how many people at senior levels likely knew of
mishandling of classified information by former Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton and her associates, yet elected to give them a pass
from serious investigation and prosecution?” asks Charles Ortel,
Wall Street analyst and investigative journalist, who has been
conducting a private inquiry into the alleged fraud of the Clinton
Foundation.
On June 14 Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz
is releasing a much-anticipated report examining the former FBI
Director James Comey’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of
a private server.
It has taken more than a year for Horowitz to review the FBI
and Department of Justice (DOJ) activities related to Clinton’s
mishandling of confidential information during her tenure as a
secretary of state.
According to Ortel, the potential disclosures could become
especially toxic for former senior officials in the Obama
administration and deal a blow to the Democratic Party
ahead of the 2018 congressional vote.
“This second report by IG Horowitz is supposedly going to examine
the way in which the FBI and Department of Justice investigated
Hillary Clinton’s private server arrangements while she was
secretary of state (January 21, 2009 through February 1, 2013)
and afterward, including while she sought the US presidency,” the
Wall Street analyst told Sputnik.
He pointed out that most observers have not bothered to examine
evidence provided by the “FBI Vault” (an online service available
to any internet user anywhere).
“This evidence shows, conclusively, that the FBI did indeed open
a formal investigation into possible mishandling of classified
information by Hillary Clinton and associates on July 10, 2015,
well before the Democratic primaries began,” Ortel highlighted.
The investigative journalist noted that many observers also have
failed to examine evidence at the FBI Vault concerning an earlier,
unsuccessful investigation into the Clinton Foundation for possible
“public corruption” from 2001 through 2005.
Ortel emphasized that “these documents suggest to objective
observers (including Trump and Sanders supporters) that potential
Clinton-related criminal activities involving charity fraud and ‘pay-
for-play’ transactions were not investigated actively enough by the
FBI from September 4, 2001 through September 4, 2013 when Bob
Mueller led the FBI, and afterward through May 2017, when James
Comey followed Mueller.”
According to the Wall Street analyst, “if Horowitz does a fair job,
his report will have to address likely motivations for Team Clinton
to rely so heavily on secret private servers and alias email accounts
operated on unsecure devices.
And, it should explain how much of the ‘missing’ emails
have been found and examined.”
Exposures May Translate Into Multiple Criminal Referrals
Ortel believes that the upcoming report could reveal blatant errors
by FBI and DOJ officials and subsequent attempts to cover them up.
“It is possible that politicians involved may include Obama cabinet
members and Obama allies, possibly even the former president
himself,” he opined.
The investigative journalist does not rule out that the revelations
could translate into trials and real prison terms for the culprits.
“I sincerely hope there will be multiple criminal referrals and that
these will turn into investigations, prosecutions, convictions, and
incarcerations,” Ortel said. “Most people hate double standards —
powerful political figures cannot be allowed to break laws in efforts
to install familial dynasties in power over levers of a government as
large as America’s has now become.”
Horowitz Report and 2018/2020 Elections
When asked how the upcoming report could affect the balance
of power in Washington, the Wall Street analyst opined that “in
almost any reasonable case, the contents of the Horowitz Report
are likely to fan voter interest in the November 2018 and 2020
elections.”
“If the report contains bombshells implicating the Clintons and
Democratic Party elites, then Republicans will likely be moved to
come to the polls in greater numbers to help ‘Drain the Swamp’,”
Ortel explained.
“If the report does not expose what many expect to see (Clinton
corruption and Obama cover-up), then Republicans may even
become more motivated, believing that Horowitz has not done
a proper job because he could be beholden to powerful special
interests.”
The investigative journalist presumed that the report might
“accentuate public concerns that the US, especially since the
advent of unregulated globalism from 1988 forward has evolved
a ‘justice system’ where politically connected elites profit from
their connections financially and escape tough treatment for
breaking laws, whereas the rest of the voters have no such privileges.”
Michael Horowitz, a DOJ internal watchdog kicked off an
investigation into Comey’s handling of the Hillary Clinton
probe in January 2017.
According to The Atlantic, both Democrats and Republicans
welcomed the watchdog’s decision, given their mixed attitude
toward the former FBI chief’s flip-flops on the Clinton email
case.
For his part, Donald Trump also signaled his interest
in the upcoming exposure:
“What is taking so long with the Inspector General’s Report on
Crooked Hillary and Slippery James Comey. Numerous delays.
Hope Report is not being changed and made weaker! There are
so many horrible things to tell, the public has the right to know.
Transparency!” he tweeted on June 5, 2018.
