In a stunning revelation that further exposes the deep-seated corruption within the Obama administration, investigative journalist John Solomon has uncovered a damning email from Obama’s Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates explicitly instructing the FBI to “shut it down”—referring to the criminal investigation into the Clinton Foundation’s pay-to-play schemes. This explosive evidence, obtained by former Trump administration official and FBI Director Kash Patel, confirms what conservatives have long suspected: the Obama DOJ actively shielded Hillary Clinton from accountability while weaponizing the justice system against political opponents.
Judicial Watch previously exposed Hillary Clinton’s illegal private email server, which she used to conceal her shady dealings as Secretary of State. Emails revealed that Clinton granted preferential treatment to Clinton Foundation donors, turning the State Department into a pay-for-play operation. Judge Royce Lamberth rightly called her actions “one of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency.” Yet, while the FBI aggressively pursued Trump over baseless allegations, they buried the case against Clinton—thanks to direct interference from Obama’s DOJ.
According to Solomon, FBI agents in New York, Washington, D.C., and Little Rock had gathered “predicated criminal evidence” showing that foreign nationals and wealthy donors bought influence through massive Clinton Foundation donations. But every time agents tried to advance the investigation, they were blocked at the highest levels. Then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe—whose wife received campaign cash from a Clinton ally—reportedly ordered agents to take no action without his approval. Even worse, three out of four Obama-era U.S. Attorneys’ offices refused to assist FBI agents in securing subpoenas or grand juries.
The smoking gun? A directive from Sally Yates herself, unearthed by Kash Patel, commanding the FBI to “shut it down.” This proves the Obama DOJ operated as a protection racket for Democrats while targeting Republicans. As Solomon noted, “While Donald Trump was chanting ‘Lock her up,’ the Obama DOJ was telling FBI agents to stand down.”

Now, with Trump back in office, the truth is finally emerging. Patel has secured more explosive emails implicating Obama-era officials, and prosecutors are stepping forward to cooperate with Congress. Meanwhile, the liberal media—which spent years gaslighting the public about “Russian collusion”—remains silent on this actual scandal.
