It’s good to know Hillary’s Campaign Chairman has such extraordinary ties with a top official involved in the reopening of Hillary’s FBI probeā€¦Will this woman ever get the justice she deserves for decades of criminality? With all of her ties and crooked connections, is it even aĀ possibility?Ā 

The Justice Department official in charge of informing Congress about the newly reactivated Hillary Clinton email probe is a political appointee and former private-practice lawyer who kept Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta ā€œout of jail,ā€ lobbied for a tax cheat later pardoned by President Bill Clinton and led the effort to confirm Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

Peter Kadzik, who was confirmed as assistant attorney general for legislative affairs in June 2014, represented Podesta in 1998 when independent counsel Kenneth Starr was investigating Podesta for his possible role in helping ex-Bill Clinton intern and mistress Monica Lewinsky land a job at the United Nations.

ā€œFantastic lawyer. Kept me out of jail,ā€ Podesta wrote on Sept. 8, 2008 to Obama aide Cassandra Butts, according to emails hacked from Podestaā€™s Gmail account and posted by WikiLeaks.

Kadzikā€™s name has surfaced multiple times in regard to the FBIā€™s investigation of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton for using a private, homebrewed server. After FBI Director James Comey informed Congress on Thursday the FBI was reviving its inquiry when new evidence linked to a separate investigation was discovered, congressional leaders wrote to the Department of Justice seeking more information. Kadzik replied.

ā€œWe assure you that the Department will continue to work closely with the FBI and together, dedicate all necessary resources and take appropriate steps as expeditiously as possible,ā€ Kadzik wrote on Oct. 31.

The DOJ is responsible for approving the bureauā€™s warrant applications and ultimately for convening a grand jury.

Fox News has previously confirmed the Justice Department was opposed to Comey making public the latest Clinton revelations.
