‘Clinton Cash’ Doc Set To Stir Up Controversy As It Debuts At Cannes

CANNES, France — A massive police force will be guarding the Cannes Film Festival this year. But the only scuffle on the horizon may come in response to the right-wing producers of a devastating new documentary about Bill and Hillary Clinton’s alleged influence peddling and favor-trading.

“Clinton Cash,” screens here May 16 and opens in the U.S. on July 24 — just before the Democratic National Convention.

The allegations are as brazen as they are controversial: What other film would come up with a plot involving Russian President Vladimir Putin wrangling a deal with the alleged help of both Clintons, a Canadian billionaire, Kazakhstan mining officials and the Russian atomic energy agency — which resulted in Putin gaining control of 20 percent of the uranium in the U.S.?

MSNBC got an exclusive first look at “Clinton Cash,” the flashy, hour-long film version of conservative author Peter Schweizer’s surprise 2015 bestseller.

The film portrays the Clintons as a greedy tag team who used the family’s controversial Clinton Foundation and her position as secretary of state to help billionaires make shady deals around the world with corrupt dictators, all while enriching themselves to the tune of millions.

The movie alleges that Bill Clinton cut a wide swathe through some of the world's most impoverished and corrupt areas , riding private jets with billionaires who called themselves philanthropists but were actually plundering the countries and lining their own pockets.

When a favor was needed at the higher levels of the Obama administration to facilitate some of the deals, Hillary Clinton was only willing to sign off on them, the movie reports.

As a film, it powerfully connects the dots — whether you believe them or not.

So in other words......a true story.

This is precisely the sort of thing that would be illegal to show in this country if Citizens United had gone the other way.

The one mistake the Clinton’s made was not producing enough children to maintain the cartel. Looks like Chelsea learned that lesson.

Film’s writer is “former speechwriter for President George W. Bush”

Betcha the Clintons think that makes the book part of the VRWC, and DOA. But she has a different opponent this time...
