Former [[DNC]] Chairman and Clinton campaign manager, Gov. [[Terry McAuliffe]]'s political-action committee, Common Good VA, donated $467,500 to the 2015 state [[Senate]] campaign of Dr. Jill McCabe, who is married to Andrew McCabe, who later became deputy director of the FBI.<ref>http://www.roguemoney.net/2016/11/01/20161031reid-claims-comey-russians-trump/</ref> The Virginia Democratic Party, over which McAuliffe exerts considerable control, donated an additional $207,788 worth of support to Dr. McCabe’s campaign in the form of mailers, according to the records. That adds up to slightly more than $675,000 to her candidacy from entities either directly under Mr. McAuliffe’s control or strongly influenced by him. The figure represents more than a third of all the campaign funds Dr. McCabe raised in the effort. Responding to a ''[[Wall Street Journal]]'' exposé on the Clinton pay-to-play scandals, [[FBI]] issued a press release:

At the time the Clinton email probe was launched in July 2015, McCabe was running the FBI’s [[Washington, D.C.]], field office, which provided personnel and resources to the Clinton email probe. At the end of July 2015, McCabe was promoted to FBI headquarters and assumed the No. 3 position at the agency. In February 2016, he became FBI Director James Comey’s second-in-command. As deputy director, McCabe was part of the executive leadership team overseeing the Clinton email investigation.

The fact is that McCabe participated in the controversial, high-profile Clinton investigation even though his wife took money from McAuliffe. FBI’s senior leadership should never have allowed that appearance of a conflict to undermine the Bureau’s important work. The Senate Committee inquired if McCabe was involved in approving or establishing the FBI’s reported arrangement with Christopher Steele, or if McCabe vouched for or otherwise relied on the politically-funded dossier in the course of the investigation.  Simply put, the American people should know if the FBI’s second-in-command relied on Democrat-funded opposition research to justify an investigation of the Republican presidential campaign.<ref>https://nobsopus.blogspot.com/2017/04/grassley-examines-potential-conflicts.html</ref>
