Dick Morris: McAuliffe Probe Could Be 'Very Dangerous' for Clintons

The FBI probe into campaign donations to Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe could end up being "very dangerous" not only for the governor, but for his old confidants Bill and Hillary Clinton, political analyst Dick Morris tells Newsmax TV.

McAuliffe had a business working with Chinese nationals who came into the United States under a special visa program, Morris said Tuesday on "Newsmax Prime." The visa program is "honest, but is corrupt," Morris told host J.D. Hayworth.

"What it says is: If you invest half-a-billion dollars creating jobs in the United States – you invest in a company – we will give you a visa to come to the United States," he said. "So it's basically cash-for-visa, only it's legal. And McAuliffe had an enterprise going in, getting a lot of people in under that program, some of whom were barred from admission to the United States because of national security grounds."

The China-based company in question had several members who gave money to McAuliffe's campaign for governor as well as to the Clinton Foundation and, in some cases, to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, Morris said.

"So this is the fruits of the poisonous tree," he said, "and this could be a very serious allegation in terms of its impact on the Clintons."
