Fox News legal analyst Judge Jeanine Pirro labeled Hillary Clinton advisers Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills “the dogs protecting” the Clinton Foundation.
Pirro appeared Friday on “Fox & Friends” to discuss the overlap between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department.
“Remember, Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills, the person who went to interview someone for the Clinton Foundation, they are the triumvirate that were on the private server,” Pirro said. “And I have said from the beginning that the whole purpose of that server and no one having access to the information that the three of them had, Hillary, Huma, and Cheryl Mills, her attorney, her pit bull from the days of Bill Clinton’s impeachment when he was in the White House, was to make sure that moneys that were funneled through the foundation were protected from disclosure.” (VIDEO: Napolitano: ‘Overwhelming’ Evidence Of Public Corruption In Clinton Foundation)
“So it makes perfect sense that Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills would be involved in this. Huma’s paid by the foundation and the State Department. Cheryl Mills is the one who was interviewing for the foundation position,” she said. “So you ask yourself, well, maybe she’s just doing this a charity. Wrong. That’s not what this woman does.” (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Joint FBI-US Attorney Probe Of Clinton Foundation Is Underway)
“Remember … there’s an MoU [memorandum of understanding] with the president where Hillary Clinton said that there would be this wall between the State Department and the Clinton Foundation. Now we find out that there are 12,000 emails from the Clinton Foundation to the State Department, essentially making sure that people who paid the Clintons, and I’m not going the say the foundation, because that is nothing more than a money laundering operation that was used as slush fund,” Pirro said. “It is not a charitable foundation. No charitable foundation had only 10 percent that goes to a charity. And that money is used as a slush fund eventually.” (RELATED: Giuliani: Hillary And The Clinton Foundation Make An ‘Excellent’ Racketeering Case)
“And Huma and Cheryl Mills are the ones who are the dogs protecting the organization,” she said.
Guest host Clayton Morris followed up, “So when does this rise to the level of being illegal?”
“It is illegal,” Pirro replied. “And here is the problem. We’re more worried about semantics — not that we are, not that normal people are — but the elite media and the Democrats. This is classic, Clayton, pay-to-play. And you know what that means? We use these words. I’m going to tell you what it means. It means RICO, it means bribery, it means political elitism.”
