Looks like the old adage is true: Be careful what you wish for.
Failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, victim of the most shocking upset in modern political history, has been wishing desperately to get back into the spotlight.
She’s been trying to get attention in the worst way. Well, that wish has finally come true: She now has some attention… in the WORST way!
Very quietly, the U.S. Senate has opened a new investigation into the Clinton family’s corruption — and this could be the one that lands her behind bars.
Clinton is now under investigation all over again, accused of abusing her power as secretary of state by ordering State Department officials – including career diplomats – to pressure foreign officials to help a Clinton Foundation donor.

A bombshell report by The Daily Caller revealed accusations that U.S. diplomats, under orders from Clinton, pushed Bangladesh to drop its corruption investigation into Muhammad Yunus, a longtime Clinton friend and controversial Nobel laureate behind the “microloans” aimed at low-income people in Third World countries.
A letter from Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, to current Secretary of State Rex Tillerson notes that diplomats under Clinton reportedly went hard after Sajeeb Wazed, son of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheik Hasina.
“They threatened me with the possibility of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service,” Sajeeb Wazed, son of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheik Hasina, told The Daily Caller. “They would say over and over again, ‘Yunus has powerful friends’ and we all knew they were talking of Secretary Clinton. Everybody knew it was Mrs. Clinton.”

Everybody knew… because she didn’t just leave the job to her underlings.
She even made some very public threats of her own, even if they went largely unnoticed at the time by the fawning left-wing media.
“We do not want to see any action taken that would in any way undermine or interfere in the operations of the (Yunus-led) Grameen Bank,” Clinton warned at a meeting in Bangladesh in 2012, when she was secretary of state and essentially speaking on behalf of the United States government. “I don’t want anything that would in any way undermine what has been a tremendous model.”

That “tremendous model” is a system for providing loans to very low-income people who would otherwise have no access to cash.
The idea may sound good, but the “microloans” have a dark side: People in some nations are literally selling their own organs to repay them, according to the BBC.
Some have even taken their own lives.

Yet Clinton remained a supporter of the system, and the question has to be asked: Why? And was money involved?
Last year, the Associated Press reported that the U.S. branch of Grameen Bank gave between $100,000 and $250,000 to the Clinton Foundation, while another Yunus-linked organization donated between $25,000 and $50,000.
The donations paid dividends: The AP notes that USAID – part of the State Department – gave a Yunus-run charity a $162 million aid package along with another $2.2 million in USAID loans and grants to the Grameen Foundation.

Even Yunus’ 2006 Nobel may have been a “gift” from the Clintons:
“Bill Clinton also personally lobbied the Nobel Committee on behalf of Yunus,” Grassley’s letter notes.
Looks like the James Comey hearing was just a warm-up act.
The REAL show in the Senate is just getting started.
