HRC ROOM. Hillary Clinton's campaign says this new interview proves 'Clinton Cash' is bunk

HILLARY CLINTON ROOM POST

COLIN CAMPBELL

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign is highlighting a new interview with "Clinton Cash" author Peter Schweizer as proof that his upcoming book is nothing more than a partisan smear.

"By finally admitting that he omitted key details and has no direct evidence, the author of 'Clinton Cash' just confirmed what many media reports had already made clear." Clinton campaign spokesman Josh Schwerin told Business Insider on Sunday, "'Clinton Cash' is nothing more than a tangled web of conspiracy theories backed by no actual evidence."

Schweizer has been generating a flood of critical headlines battering Clinton's campaign since last Thursday, when multiple news organizations published their investigations based on his work. Schweizer's book, out May 5, alleges that Clinton doled out State Department favors in exchange for speaking fees to her husband, former President Bill Clinton, and for donations to the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation.

Got one on ignore today & am about to call out the other as Troll for posting RW rags as truth.

I dont care how many posts they have nor how long they've been here.
When Hillary Clinton becomes as big a threat to the RW as a few posters here on DU, they all start repeating & promoting the same RW Hate lies.
Time to call them out for what they are.

Both the left and the right want a different Democrat candidate. The left wants someone further left (Warren), and ironically that's what the right wants too because they want someone easier to beat.

The right wing desperately wants to take out Hillary because they know she will win over any of their puppets in the clown car and have her replaced with Senator Warren, or even better, Bernie Sanders.

For one, 95% or so of the general public have no idea who they are, and two the reich wing slime machine would have a field day savaging both of them as radical left wing socialist/communists!

The fox/hate radio/NY Times unholy alliance would ensure another republican president and there will be hell to pay for all americans as the teahaddists have they way with us all!

Its so hard to believe the Hillary hate thats on this board 24/7 now. Its just like freakrepublic/redstate anymore.

If these purists/leftist/stealth republicans? succeed in knocking Hillary out of the election it will be the koch bros dream come true!

Only a stupid lunatic or an equally stupid troll would continue to put any faith in this book as any kind of "scandal" work. It's junk.

And what kind of "leftist" wants to handicap or replace a proven liberal who can make mincemeat out of Bush III with a half term Senator who was a Republican not so long ago?

People who will stoop so low as to tout something from the bottom of the GOP barrel have a rather curious ax to grind. Who in their right mind throws away their integrity and their repution (even if it's just an "online" one) because HRC isn't their favorite candidate? It's a valid question!
