New York Times, Washington Post, Fox News strike deals for anti-Clinton research
Politico ^ | April 20, 2015 | By DYLAN BYERS

Posted on 04/20/2015 11:06:39 PM PDT by Brad from Tennessee

The New York Times, The Washington Post and Fox News have made exclusive agreements with a conservative author for early access to his opposition research on Hillary Clinton, a move that has confounded members of the Clinton campaign and some reporters.

"Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich" will debut on May 5. But the Times, the Post and Fox have already made arrangements with author Peter Schweizer to pursue some of the material included in his book, which seeks to draw connections between Clinton Foundation donations and speaking fees and Hillary Clinton's actions as secretary of state. Schweizer is the president of the Government Accountability Institute, a conservative research group, and previously served as an adviser to Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.

Fox News' use of Schweizer's book has surprised no one. The bulk of the network's programming is conservative, and the book's publisher, HarperCollins, is owned by News Corporation. But the Times and Post's decision to partner with a partisan researcher has raised a few eyebrows. Some Times reporters view the agreement as unusual, sources there said. Still others defended the agreement, noting that it was no different from using a campaign's opposition research to inform one's reporting -- so long as that research is fact-checked and vetted.

HarperCollins is marketing "Clinton Cash" as a "meticulously researched" book that "raises serious questions of judgment, of possible indebtedness to an array of foreign interests, and ultimately, of fitness for high public office." In it, Schweizer seeks to show how donations to the Clinton Foundation and speaking fees paid to former president Bill Clinton may have influenced Hillary Clinton's decisions at the State Department. . .

This is why criminals should be in prison and not in politics. May this hag get the electric chair for her crimes.

THIS JUST IN---Judge Gladys Kessler of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia ordered the State Department to produce passenger manifests from 47 overseas trips that Mrs. Clinton made as secretary of state. Citizens United requested the manifests last July through a Freedom of Information Act Request.

There seems to be a solid connection between:

(1) donors to the Clinton Foundation,

(2) companies receiving contracts from foreign countries, and,

(3) Clinton Foundation donors receiving favorable treatment from the State Dept.

<><> Sixty companies contributed $26 million to the Clinton Foundation.

<><> Forty four of those companies also contributed to a $3.2 billion dollar fund established at the Clinton Global Initiative (a wing of the foundation).

<><> At least 25 companies made contributions to fifteen private/public partnerships set up by ex-Pres Clinton;

And who administered all of them?.......the State Department w/ Hillary at the helm.

===========================================

Congress needs to launch multiple investigations into Hillary’s State Dept tenure including that of her confidantes:

<><> expense accounts,

<><> use of federal credit cards,

<><> their participation in the State Dept's disbursement of funds to "private contractors;"

<><>her possible collusion with the Clinton Foundation--using classified info as an instrument for fund-raising.

Hillary's official calendar, and her contact with foreign leaders. will tell the tale of donations to the foundation....and the Clintons profiteering off secret intel.

=================================================

The Buckraking Clintons sucking up foreign donations is morally reprehensible----but the real crimes are what exactly they are doing with the corporate/foreign monies once its in their Foundation's tax-exempt coffers.

It's becoming clearer why Bill Clinton used a shocking 21 phone nos and email addresses----because L/E knows multiple phone no's and emails is an indication of possible money-laundering and tax evasion.

My bewilderment is certainly not directed at you. Your attempt to make sense out of what seems an overwhelmingly impulsive, uncharacteristic rush for the Times to collaborate with the likes of Fox News in an adversarial pose against the Clintons in a move that would seem politically unnatural if not an act of self-sabotage is highly unusual, which leads me to my own conclusions.

1.The New York Times is way ahead on the curve being aware of a perfect political storm in which Hillary gets to capsize, self-destruct very early in the game becoming rudderless amidst the political jetsam and flotsam she turns into, ends up waking up one morning finding herself stranded on some isolated beach not merely because she doesn't have the political cojones to jump the political hurdle as not being politically viable (despite her gynecological pedigree if even that) but because, because, of what the Times may have been clued in on activity of an egregious, maybe even criminal nature.

2.All of this is merely conjecture, taken out of the air, so to speak. I have no idea if any of this has a modicum of truth. But the way the Times found itself gravitating to Fox like a bat out of hell, not the least of which is the anathema the Times has become to the Clintons as a result of the way they demonstrated a who are the Clintons apathy indicates (to me) they felt they had nothing to lose by this move.

The New York Times is trying to save the Democratic Party.

A bit late, in my view, they should have done this with Obama.

This may be what allows Mark Warner or Evan Bayh to perceive an opportunity to jump in the race....

“Maybe the Times wants to get the storm about such things over and to guide the narrative to other things, given that her potential base has about a microsecond of attention span.”

Clinton’s enemies have been working over time to smear this innocent helpless girl. ...and all that rot.

Hillary says that this is just another right wing diversion from the real kitchen table issues that the American people are concerned with.

Hillary is way too busy ‘listened’ to the American people to answer questions on this.

Trying to sell the book through extensive sales on prerelease date. NY Slimes and Washington Compost have an agenda too - increase their readership.

The Liberal opinion leaders want her out of this race. She is not genuinely Progressive enough for them, and they fear she’s a lousy candidate who runs a very high risk of implosion.

That means there will be two versions of everything -- the true version, on Fox, and the water-carrier Age of Aquarius Vote for Hillary version from the Slimes and Compost.

The Times’ position isn’t difficult to fathom at all. Hillary isn’t far enough left for them.

The Times is a leftist rag that’s COMPLETELY in the tank for the Left. Anytime a leftist rag considers actual facts about a Democrat politician it is safe to assume they are anti-that politcian.

Hillary: “ You know, I’m just sich and tired of this Right Wing Conspiracy, meddling with my Left Wing Legacy”

WaPo and The Slimes want to get their hands on this in advance so they can get a jump on damage control.

Schweizer is the president of the Government Accountability Institute, a conservative research group, and previously served as an adviser to Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.

Payback's a bitch. Even though I consider Palin not an optimal choice for the Presidency, the "lawfare" treatment visited upon her by Democrats in Alaska was a nothing short of criminal injustice (to say nothing of her her treatment by the MSM). If she or loyalties to her had anything to do with this it is well-justified.

I’ve figured it out.

If the mainstream voters reject Hillary in droves, there being no alternative Democratic candidate, they will vote in the Republican primaries instead to defeat Cruz and put Jeb over the top.

Uniparty still wins. This is not the good news it looks like.
