In a completely unexpected development, Hillary Clinton has been caught covering for a federal official accused of sexual misconduct.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Sen. Chuck Grassley pressed the State Department Monday on why an internal investigation into whether an ambassador routinely solicited prostitutes in Belgium was seemingly shut down by Hillary Clinton’s top staff in 2011.
In a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry, Grassley demanded to know why Cheryl Mills, Clinton’s former chief of staff, was one of the only two officials permitted to interview the Belgian ambassador after he was accused of “routinely ditching his protective security detail in order to solicit prostitutes in a public park in Belgium.”
The other official, Patrick Kennedy, halted the initial investigation two days after it began and kept the probe out of the hands of the Bureau of Diplomatic Security and the inspector general by downgrading the matter to a “management issue.”
This is not the first time Clinton has been caught covering up sexual misconduct by federal officials.
In June it was discovered Clinton blocked an investigation into Bret McGurk, Obama’s nominee for Ambassador to Iraq. McGurk was discovered to be engaging in an improper sexual relationship with a Wall Street Journal reporter and giving her unauthorized information, placing national security at risk.
Clinton reacted not by firing McGurk, but instead ordering her chief of staff to block investigators from questioning him.
Thanks to Clinton’s obstruction, McGurk is now Obama’s top adviser on ISIS and is crafting his nuclear agreement with Iran.
