' He then added ; 'The Obamas are behind the e-mail story , and they ’ re spreading rumors that I ’ ve been with women , that Hillary promoted people at the State Department who ’ d done favors for our foundation , that John Kerry had to clean up diplomatic messes Hillary left behind . ' And it 's not over yet , as according to Klein , six additional probes into Clinton 's performance are underway . Bill , upon learning of this , reportedly said to a friend ; 'The Obamas are out to get us any way they can . ' Klein seems to have known about all this for some time , having discussed it when he appeared on Fox and Friends last Wednesday . ' [ Bill ] has said , according to my sources , that the White House is leaking to their friends in the mainstream media stories about the Clintons . Not only about Hillary , but about him , and about what she did while she was in the State Department , ' Klein claimed . 'This is from sources within the White House , that the Clintons know that Hillary is under not one , but six different investigations prompted by the White House . ' He then added ; 'They 're going through these , looking for problems on her expense account , on her dealings with foreign leaders . All of this , I 'm told , is prompted by Valerie Jarrett and the president , who do not want to see Hillary Clinton become President of the United States .
