Republican Clinton Cash Scandal Collapses Before The Book Is Even Released

The scandal that Republicans hoped would take down Hillary Clinton has already sputtered and fizzled as the media has largely debunked the book Clinton Cash as strong on allegations, but weak on facts.

The main allegation is that Hillary Clinton was influenced by donations to The Clinton Foundation to use her position as Sec. of State to block the purchase of uranium mine.


Time magazine noted that the allegation first reported in The New York Times was not supported with evidence, “The suggestion of outside influence over U.S. decisionmaking is based on little evidence — the allegations are presented as questions rather than proof. The deal’s approval was the result of an extensive interagency process that required the assent of at least nine different officials and agencies.”

NBC News backed off of the Clinton Cash story too, “Indeed, upon reflection, that Times article doesn’t hold up that well 24 hours after its publication. But if there’s a legitimate criticism of the Clintons here — especially when it comes to the other articles about the Clinton Foundation and Bill’s speaking fees (here and here) — it’s that they were sloppy, bordering on being greedy.”.....

1. Come on; the theory that American politics can be influenced by CASH: Laughable. nt

5. I dont think this book is going to disqualify Hillary. she is still experienced and strong.

This is becoming like the boy yelling wolf too many times, RW attempts of creating scandals is beginning to fall on deaf ears. The biggest scandals is their attempts to create scandals.

10. In the 90's, then FLOTUS Hillary Clinton...

spoke of the vast right wing conspiracy; it was a cottage industry. She was correct then; there is no reason to believe that vrwc ever went away. This book is the first shot against Hillary the Presidential candidate, allegations create questions, which lead to investigations; Whitewater, all over again. And remember, the Whitewater scandal goes back to a white racist that began all the allegations.

13. The RW still tries, keep thinking they are going to get a scandal to stick.

[Hekate]

6. They'll always have Benghazi.

GOPers are such *holes.

[Dirty Socialist]

Err...BENGHAZI!

Republican scandal charges are wearing increasingly thin.

8. bill maher noted, not sure it's true

that the author was a "former policy advisor to Sara Palin".

[DonViejo]

9. From the article...

The author of the book, Peter Schweizer, worked as a foreign policy adviser to Sarah Palin.

[RecoveringJournalist]

12. Yes

And by that they mean he lived across the street from her, that much closer to Russia.

14. Did he help her see Russia from her porch?

[jmowreader]

15. There's not enough meth in Wasilla to enable her to see Russia from her porch

There's this thing called a Mountain Range between the Palin mansion and Russia.

11. The Clintons got rich . . .

Based on the fact that people were willing to pay them top dollar for the privilege of listening to their ideas.

It's called "meritocracy," and it has a lot to recommend it as a social policy.

16. They do more than give speeches.

His foundation is pretty cool-maybe the speeches help keep it going.

18. I Would Love To Work For The Clinton Global Fund

The Koch Brothers 100 think tanks, and sham organizations?

Not so much.....

I really don't want to get paid to lie, and destroy
the planet so some filth of the earth billionaires
can double their wealth on our children's corpses.

[MrModerate]

20. A lot more . . .

But their personal wealth is largely from speaking fees and their books.

And of course their high profile also benefits the Clinton Foundation.

[Yallow]

17. People Get Paid Big Money To Lie About The Clintons

And our media, who truly serves the .01% always plays along.

When was the last time you saw a news personality talking about
the death toll in Texas and Florida from their governors not
insuring their citizens.

Thousands have died, and it isn't even a story.

The press is too busy distracting us. Some witch from New
York slept with some jerk. It's all they want to talk about.

19. More Swift Boating from the GOP.

Sounds like someone in the media might have been expecting it this time.
