Pantsuits is as dirty as it gets....

Quote:he New York Times reported Sunday evening that a forthcoming investigative bombshell book on Hillary and Bill Clinton will soon be the focus of major feature stories and is regarded as “the most anticipated and feared book of a presidential cycle.”

For weeks, news outlets from the Washington Post to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer have alluded that the highly-anticipated May 5 release of Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich by three-time New York Times bestselling investigative journalist Peter Schweizer could be a presidential game-changer. Schweizer is President of the non-partisan Government Accountability Institute (GAI) and a Senior Editor-at-Large at Breitbart News.

The New York Times revealed that Clinton Cash describes how the Clintons’ income from 2001 to 2012 was at least $136.5 million, how Mr. Clinton would routinely fetch half-a-million dollar honorariums for speeches while Mrs. Clinton was Secretary of State, and much more.

Despite the Clinton campaign’s ability to dismiss “critical books as conservative propaganda,” the Times says “Clinton Cash is potentially more unsettling, both because of its focused reporting and because major news organizations are expected to pursue the story lines found in the book.”

The Times adds, “Members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee have been briefed about the book’s findings.”

Publishing giant HarperCollins said in a press release that the book represents the culmination of a one-year deep dive investigation by Schweizer’s GAI investigative unit. The GAI, which has quickly established itself as one of the nation’s most respected—and feared—Washington watchdog organizations, has gained notoriety for vigorously investigating both Republicans and Democrats, as well as releasing its investigative findings through major national mainstream media partners, such as CBS News’ 60 Minutes, New York Times, Politico, ABC News, and Fox News.

Indeed, GAI and Schweizer have already left their investigative mark on Capitol Hill. Schweizer, whom Newsweek dubbed “The Wonk Who Slays Washington,” was responsible for the ouster of former Republican Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-AL), then-chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, after his book, Throw Them All Out, exposed insider trading by members of Congress.

The driving force behind the only significant bipartisan reform legislation to pass during the Obama presidency—the STOCK (Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge) Act—Schweizer is, as David Weigel (then of Slate) put it, the “author of the book that started the STOCK Act stampede.” Schweizer partnered with veteran CBS News 60 Minutes reporter Steve Kroft for an insider trading report based on the book that resulted in CBS winning the coveted Joan Shorenstein Barone Award for excellence in Washington-based reporting on congressional political affairs.

Former Rep. Rob Andrews (D-NJ) also knows the sting of a Schweizer book investigation. In October 2013, Schweizer once again partnered with CBS 60 Minutesand Steve Kroft to report the revelations of his book, Extortion, which exposed how Republicans and Democrats use leadership PAC “slush funds” to bankroll lavish lifestyles. The Sunday before the book’s release, CBS 60 Minutes did a story titled “Washington’s Open Secret” based on Schweizer’s book revelations that led to Andrews’ resignation from Congress.

Whether Schweizer’s soon-to-be-released book will spell the same political fate for Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential aspirations remains to be seen. The Washington Post has already done two major stories based off the Clinton Cash press release’s revelation that Hillary’s brother, Tony Rodham, sat on the board of a mining company that in 2012 received one of only two “gold exploitation permits” from the Haitian government—a coveted concession that was the first of its kind issued in over 50 years.

Now, with major media all preparing feature reports on Clinton Cash’s myriad revelations, Hillary Clinton’s defenders are already in damage control mode. “The newly assembled Clinton campaign team is planning a full-court press to diminish the book as yet another conservative hit job,” reports the Times.

That will be difficult, however, says the New York Times, because “Mr. Schweizer writes mainly in the voice of a neutral journalist and meticulously documents his sources, including tax records and government documents, while leaving little doubt about his view of the Clintons.”

“Quid Pro Dough”, Payoffs For Policy, That Have Made Bill And Hillary Filthy Rich



Yes, let’s topple the two one percenters…

Quote:Hillary Rodham Clinton used her clout as secretary of state to do favors for foreign donors who gave millions to her family foundation — and who paid millions more to her husband, Bill, in speaking fees, a new book charges.

Records show that of the $105 million the former president raked in from speeches over 12 years, about half came during his wife’s four-year tenure at the State Department.

The claims in “Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich” come just a week after she launched her presidential campaign.

They raise questions about shady foreign money flowing into the Clinton Foundation — and what actions Hillary took in her official capacity in exchange for the cash.

“During Hillary’s years of public service, the Clintons have conducted or facilitated hundreds of large transactions,” writes author Peter Schweizer, according to The New York Times, which first reported the story.

“Some of these transactions have put millions in their own pockets.”

Little shocked this isn't getting more interest on here. Couldn't even find this thread for a little time.

This book is going to be a runaway best seller, and with the "backing" of those conservative wingnuts @ Wash compost and NYslimes it may prove to be a little more difficult for cankles to simply *skreeech* dismiss as another vast right wing conspiracy.

Dirty is as dirty does. And we know the Clintoons love them some dirty!

Honestly, I wouldn't mind if someone would get her out of the race early. It'd make it more interesting for sure.

I agree. At least that way the winner wouldn't be a foregone conclusion.

Hillary Clinton: “We Must Topple The One Percent!”



Not bringing up the poor, just pulling down the rich.

Quote:In a meeting with economists this year, Mrs. Clinton intensely studied a chart that showed income inequality in the United States. The graph charted how real wages, adjusted for inflation, had increased exponentially for the wealthiest Americans, making the bar so steep it hardly fit on the chart. Mrs. Clinton pointed at the top category and said the economy required a “toppling” of the wealthiest 1 percent, according to several people who were briefed on Mrs. Clinton’s policy discussions but could not discuss private conversations for attribution.

Quote:“Topping the wealthiest 1 percent”! Admittedly, Hillary Clinton — estimated net worth $200 million, who gives speeches to Goldman Sachs for $400,000 — does have a lot of experience with toppling things, considering how the new Libyan government, the relatively pro-American Egyptian government, and portions of the Syrian and Iraqi government control toppled on her watch . . .

Toppling the 1%'ers. Haha, okay cankles you first, you .5%'er.

What a complete and utter fraud. Through and through.

How's the scooby-doobie ride coming along?!?

Everyone knows she is crooked. But she'll still get a solid 45% of the public that love her politics. And then she just has to fool another 6% of the remaining 55% to win.

She wounded. She's not dead.

I will probably grab a copy.

This just seems like it needs some serious facts to back it up. In all honesty, I am not convinced sufficient factual evidence exists to make this more than a blip on the Hillary ride.

Before you all climax, consider the source.

I believe that if Hill becomes President, the only ethical thing to do would be to suspend all activities of the Clinton Foundation, especially fund raising, to avoid any suggestion of influence peddling.

Furthermore, Bill should not give any paid speeches during any time he might be living in the White House.

Without doubt they can make up any lost income in their final days by selling pardons.

Well at least you admit that she is going to win.

Nobody gives money and expects nothing in return. Not sure why that is such a revelation.

Exactly. Is it really her fault if these countries decided to pay more than the usual amount?

It's a conflict of interest, no doubt; however, it really comes down to the favors granted for said money.

If it can be proven that favors were indeed carried out because of the money then I could see this getting some traction. However, that is very difficult to prove.

Also, the author is questionable as well.

I'm betting all the info was on her personal computer server.
