The Guardian: boldest claims about the Clintons’ finances have been shown to be unsubstantiated
Compared with previous nemeses such as Kenneth Starr, the independent counsel who stalked Bill Clinton during his White House years, the man at the center of the current furor makes for a relatively easy opponent. For a start, Schweizer is unashamedly partisan. His previous books – How Big Government Liberals Wrecked the Global Economy, Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy, Reagan’s War: The Epic Story of His Forty-Year Struggle and Final Triumph over Communism – speak for themselves, as does the fact that he used to work as a speechwriter for George W Bush and as foreign affairs tutor to the then Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
He also makes the Clintons’ job easy for them by admitting in several places in the book that he has discovered no smoking gun.
If his aim were to show that Hillary Clinton was swayed in her decision-making while US secretary of state by money flowing to the Clintons from foreign governments and elites, then he has failed...
“We cannot ultimately know what goes on in their minds and ultimately prove the links between the money they took in and the benefits that subsequently accrued to themselves, their friends, and their associates,” Schweizer writes in the book’s conclusion.
... In an interview with the sympathetic Fox News (owned by Rupert Murdoch, who also owns Harper, the publisher of Clinton Cash) it was put to Schweizer that he hadn’t “nailed” his thesis.
