Understanding the influence-peddling of Clinton Inc.
NYPost.com ^ | Thursday, April 23, 2015 | Jonah Goldberg

Posted on 04/23/2015 5:32:29 PM PDT by canuck_conservative

The book isn’t even out yet, and Clinton’s team is already sheltering in place like Churchill’s cabinet during the Blitz.

That’s in part because Schweizer, a conservative author and dogged investigative journalist, has teamed up with notorious right-wing rags The New York Times and The Washington Post to essentially re-report and expand on allegations made in the book.

Because it would be absurd to claim these papers are part of the “vast right-wing conspiracy” — which won’t stop flacks from saying it — they’re better equipped to drop the payload over the target.

Even Lawrence O’Donnell, a Democratic water-carrier of such sterling reliability that he makes Gunga Din look like a slacker, had to concede on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that the Clinton campaign no longer has a Schweizer problem. It has “a New York Times problem.”

It’s hard to boil down the Times’ deeply detailed account, but the broad brushstrokes are as follows: A Canadian business wanted to sell its uranium mines in Kazakhstan and the United States to a Russian state-run — i.e., Vladimir Putin-run — firm.

In order to grease the skids — allegedly, of course — Canadian uranium moguls Frank Giustra and Ian Telfer gave millions to the Clinton Foundation and arranged for a $500,000 speech by Bill Clinton (whose speaking fees mysteriously skyrocketed after his wife became secretary of state), bankrolled by a Russian investment bank with interests in the deal....

Also, when she became secretary of state, Hillary Clinton promised to disclose all such donations to the Clinton Foundation and submit her husband’s foreign speeches for White House review. None of that happened.

There are other allegations in this story and, more important, there are many more such stories to come (according to several people who’ve read the book)....

Perhaps the story becomes so big that
at some point a major newspaper will
pick up the story. The Times simply did
not want to be scooped.

It will be interesting to see how many days this is front pages news on the Times or the Washington Post.

Because Hillary would put Cheryl Mills in as 'senior adviser' and NOT VALERIE JARRETT.

Valerie does not intend to give up her slot.

Liz Warren, however, has no problem with keeping VJ on in the position.

Still too early to say for sure BUT it sure looks like Hillary may have her fit in the wringer this time.

The only thing Madam Clinton should be running for is inmate council at the rich peoples’ prison

With people like John Boehner covering for them I do not expect the Clintons to end up in jail.

“They’re good people, but there’s questions that have to be answered,” said Boehner.
Boehner said there was a “50-50” chance that Clinton could be elected president, yet wouldn’t say who he wants to be the Republican nominee.
