Hillary exonerates herself after report of expanded FBI investigation

**Written by Doug Powers

According to Fox News citing sources, the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails and server has widened to include examinations of possible corruption between then-secretary Clinton and the family foundation.

Hillary, apparently with a finger on the pulse of what the FBI is doing, said there's nothing to it:

Hillary Clinton disputed a report Monday that the FBI is investigating whether there were illegal connections between her family’s foundation and her service as secretary of state.

Clinton, the leading Democratic candidate for president, was asked about the Fox News story during a meeting Monday afternoon with the Des Moines Register’s editorial board. “It’s an unsourced, irresponsible claim that has no basis," she responded. "It is something that is really without merit and should not have any influence whatsoever in this nominating process."

Clinton said there is no such FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation. “There is nothing like that happening,” she said.

Nice of her to put an end to any speculation, wasn't it?

Just in case there's still skepticism, Hillary's campaign should put out a statement to reassure everybody:
