Controversial ‘Clinton Cash’ Book is Now a Documentary Film--set for US Release July 24 in Philly

LawNewz reports:

April 28, 2016



The 2015 New York Times bestselling investigative book Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich, has now been made into a documentary film.

According to Bloomberg News, the Clinton Cash film will make its premiere next month in Cannes, France at a screening arranged for distributors that will be on hand for the prestigious Cannes Film Festival — the film is not part of the festival. The film’s U.S. premiere appears to be scheduled for maximum impact as it will debut on July 24 in Philadelphia, on the eve of the Democratic National Convention. It will then continue to roll out on a limited release basis during the first week of August, premiering in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco.

If the trailer is any indication, this film will almost certainly be every bit as controversial as the book. Perhaps even more so, with its release coming in the final months of what is expected to be a brutal presidential election campaign.

.....

Clinton, however, may have more to worry about than just political attacks. As LawNewz.com previously reported, federal investigators recently subpoenaed records from the Clinton Foundation. According to reports, investigators are probing possible pay-for-play allegations in which donations were made to the Clinton Foundation in change for favorable treatment from Clinton’s State Department.



There are some major shakeups on the horizon.

Buckle up, because this is about to go live.


Meanwhile, it's destination Philadelphia with Bernie, powered by the people.







This is the way of the future.

...the propaganda wasn't subtle enough for me. Much like the Christian movies; so 'in your face' and obvious messaging. I say this as a Christian.

It was an interesting concept (would rather sci-fi version), but disastrously executed.

going there with Clinton cash.

I still don't get Obama wanting Clinton to define his legacy.

You have to scroll down to see the trailer. There is just a clip in the first video.

They had some sort of "exclusive". They were all excited about taking HRC down. Sadly it all fizzled out for them, as author is not credible.

When down here in Charlotte, NC on local paper website I was called a RW wingnut because I belied based on evidence that the soon to be mayor was corrupt. Many of my fellow Democrats called my a GOPer and racist(Because I was talking about a (D) black person). They guy got elected and into his first term the FBI arrested him on corruption charges going all way back to 2010 sting operation when he was City Councilmen. He wound up going to Federal prison.

I see a very ugly pattern here.

p.s. "2010 sting operation" means he was targeted for a takedown at some future date. That's repulsive.

money in his accounts - it was simple avarice on his part and that of his wife.

Hard to see where HRC allowed herself to be bribed knowing she'd be running for president and fully expected that nearly half the country was looking to tear her down. As a Sanders voter I would have expected he would have used any proof that existed, and he did not. I don't doubt that he would have gotten it out there if it was true.

...they post 'news' articles from Salon and Alternet to attack the Republican primary candidates they oppose. It's like a dark, alien version of this place. 'ObaMarxist' is an actual word there.

Some people want their candidate to win at any cost and will use any tool, no matter how debunked or offensive, to try to make that happen.

crafted to appear as if it is from the left.

Many newly engaged primary enthusiasts aren't aware that this is a longstanding tactic from GOP operatives. For some it is their first primary.

There is no nook or cranny of the right wingery that some folks won't embrace around here because it somehow feeds their Clinton hatred.

I would be embarrassed for them but I don't think any of them have any shame left.

Bernie will be attacked by the GOP based on lies and innuendo so he is unsuited for the nomination.

Hillary will be attacked by the GOP but it is no problem because it is based on lies and innuendo.

Do I have that right?
