Years after the FBI was compelled to shut down various corruption investigations into the Clinton Foundation, new revelations show that a subsequent criminal tax probe by the IRS was abruptly derailed despite extensive evidence and high-level interest. According to IRS memos, internal emails, and whistleblower testimony reviewed by Just the News, career investigators initially took serious steps toward accountability, only to have their work silenced in spring 2019 with the sudden order: “Can’t talk about the CF.”

This stonewalling came after decorated whistleblowers John Moynihan, a former DEA financial crimes analyst, and Larry Doyle, a corporate tax compliance expert, presented reams of documentation alleging that the Clinton Foundation had flagrantly violated federal tax law and operated outside the bounds of its charitable mission. The pair submitted IRS Form 211s—formal applications for whistleblower rewards—backed by over 6,000 pages of evidence. Their findings alleged commingling of charitable and personal expenses, foreign influence, and improper use of public funds.

The Clinton Foundation has long denied wrongdoing, claiming past issues were corrected and accusations are politically motivated. Still, whistleblower memos, congressional testimony, and the IRS’s own internal communications tell a more troubling story of an apparent two-tiered justice system—where prominent political figures may be shielded from scrutiny.

Between January and April 2019, Doyle and Moynihan met numerous times with IRS Criminal Investigation agents, including high-ranking officials from field offices in New Jersey and Texas. Notes from these meetings suggest investigators were highly engaged. At one meeting, an IRS special agent is quoted as saying that the whistleblower documentation indicated “the entire enterprise is a fraud.”

According to internal emails, IRS offices in Dallas and Newark were coordinating with U.S. Attorneys in the Eastern and Western Districts of Texas. The agents involved seemed eager to move forward—at one point even requesting a dedicated server to handle the sheer volume of evidence.

Moynihan and Doyle laid out financial trails involving the Clinton Foundation, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), foreign governments, other nonprofits, and even ties to the WHO, Gates Foundation, and USAID. One detailed chart—dubbed the “Whiteboard / Deep State / Swamp / Ecosystem Board”—showed dozens of alleged connections involving billions in donor and taxpayer funds.

They also included damning testimony from Clinton Foundation CFO Andrew Kessel, who reportedly told investigators he couldn’t stop Bill Clinton from mixing personal and charitable expenses and that he “knows where all the bodies are buried.”

Despite early encouragement, by late spring 2019, IRS agents had gone dark. Communications between the whistleblowers and key agents ceased. When contact resumed, the tone had completely changed. One agent, previously enthusiastic, allegedly repeated the phrase “we can’t talk about the CF” several times in a single meeting.

Moynihan and Doyle were told that unless they could produce a cooperating witness from inside the Clinton Foundation, no investigation could proceed—despite having already named the CFO and 55 other potential witnesses. This new requirement directly contradicted previous instructions from agents who had requested lists of informants and had initially signed Moynihan and Doyle up as official cooperating whistleblowers.

At one point, the IRS Whistleblower Office issued a “Final Determination” denying the whistleblowers’ reward claims, stating that “the IRS took no action based on the information that you provided,” citing lack of resources and unspecified procedural issues.

The breakdown wasn’t due to lack of evidence or credibility—far from it. Internal IRS communications reveal that multiple offices were actively coordinating, reviewing exhibits, and uploading thousands of documents. One senior agent reviewed pages detailing tax-exempt status violations and reportedly concluded, “This means the entire enterprise is a fraud.”

But then, emails show confusion and a lack of follow-through. Packages containing vital evidence went missing, only to be “found” weeks later. IRS attorneys appeared unaware that meetings with the whistleblowers had occurred. One even said in an email that according to her file, the Clinton Foundation investigation had already been closed—despite the whistleblowers having met with IRS Criminal Investigation as recently as the previous month.

According to the whistleblowers, someone high up had clearly “spiked the case” just as it was gaining traction. The timing coincided with the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election and growing scrutiny over Hillary Clinton’s prior role as Secretary of State.

These latest revelations build upon years of reports that federal agents were blocked from thoroughly investigating the Clinton Foundation. A 2017 memo, declassified by then-FBI Director Kash Patel, documented extensive interference by Obama-era DOJ officials during the 2016 election season—just as Clinton was being probed for potential pay-to-play schemes involving foreign donors and State Department access.

The whistleblowers’ 2017 submission to the IRS and FBI described the Clinton Foundation as having “run afoul of IRS rules” and called for a full-scale investigation. “The tax rules, codes, statutes and the rule of law should and must be applied in this case,” they wrote.

They also testified to Congress in December 2018 that the Clinton Foundation acted as a foreign agent and should have registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). Even the foundation’s own auditors had, according to the whistleblowers, admitted it had operated in that capacity.

Years later, Moynihan and Doyle are still fighting in U.S. Tax Court to get the IRS to acknowledge their claims and evidence. Their attorney, Brian Della Rocca, expressed frustration to Just the News, stating: “The Whistleblowers filed the claims at the behest of the IRS and, once received by the Whistleblower Office, the claims were shut down. We are beyond frustrated.”

The Clinton Foundation has declined to comment further. The IRS has also remained silent.

As litigation continues, critical questions remain unanswered: Who pulled the plug on the investigation, and why? And is America’s tax enforcement system truly blind to political influence?
