Via NY Post:
Senior Justice Department officials gave a “stand down” order to FBI investigators digging into the Clinton Foundation, according to a report.
The order was delivered in February — just as voting got under way in the Democratic presidential primary, a source told the Wall Street Journal.
“The message was, ‘We’re done here,’” a source told the paper, saying that prosecutors were not moved by the FBI’s presentation of evidence it had gathered to that point.
Soon after the presentation, Justice Department officials handed down the “stand down” message.
But the probe — which is still ongoing, according to FOX News — was kept alive by FBI agents intent on pursuing information gathered from two confidential informants, and a secret audio recording obtained in another public corruption investigation.
