Media reacts to 'Clinton Cash'

[carpro]

Bloomberg Politics’ Mark Halperin: The Clinton Cash revelations are “extraordinarily serious,” said Halperin. “Here’s why you know this is serious because any Democrat, almost any Democrat, who is not on the Clinton’s payroll will tell reporters and others that these are serious issues, forget the politics.


National Journal’s Ron Fournier: “You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorists here, Chris, to know the foreign companies hope to buy influence. You don’t have to be a lawyer to know that they violated ethics laws.


Meet the Press host Chuck Todd: I heard an earful last night [at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner] from various Democrats, some who work in the Clinton campaign that said, “Why is she still taking foreign donations?


Pulitzer Prize-Winning Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin: “I think what still boggles the mind, why doesn’t Hillary deal with this herself right now… I think she has to answer this herself.”


Wall Street Journal’s Kimberly Strassel: “Everyone seems to understand this is a huge problem, other than the Clintons.


MSNBC’s Chris Matthews: But when countries give you money, they want something besides love.”


Former Democratic San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown: This has the potential of being a bigger liability than the e-mail affair or Benghazi because taking money from a foreign government when you hold a Cabinet job is a potential conflict of interest that everyone can grasp…“It could even be fatal to Clinton’s candidacy

WASHINGTON (AP) — The acting chief executive of the Clinton Foundation is acknowledging the global philanthropy made mistakes in how it disclosed its donors.

In a blog posting Sunday, Maura Pally defended the foundation’s work and reaffirmed its commitment to transparency. Pally’s statement comes amid growing scrutiny of the foundation as Hillary Rodham Clinton embarks on her presidential campaign.

Pally said the foundation expected to refile some of its tax forms because it had “mistakenly combined” government grants and donations.

"Mistakenly"... Really?

Fox’s Chris Wallace confronts ‘Clinton Cash’ author: ‘You don’t have a single piece of evidence’

Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday pointed out to conservative author Peter Schweizer that his new book failed to connect the dots between speaking fees earned by former President Bill Clinton and policies supported by Hillary Clinton while she served as secretary of state.

During an interview on Fox News Sunday about his book, “Clinton Cash,” Schweizer suggested that Hillary Clinton approved a deal that eventually allowed the Russian government to control some U.S. uranium mines.

But Wallace noted that the deal was approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), a panel of nine different federal agencies.

“It’s not just the State Department,” Wallace explained. “It’s nine separate agencies… There is no hard evidence — and you don’t cite any in the book — that Hillary Clinton took direct action, was involved in any way in approving, as one nine agencies, the sale of the company.”

Schweizer argued that “any one of those agencies had veto power so she could have stopped the deal.”

“You don’t have a single piece of evidence that she was involved in this deal, that she sent a memo to the State Department person that was on this committee and said, ‘Hey, we want to approve the uranium sale,'” Wallace pressed.

"I am a journalist," Schweizer insisted. "I don't have access to government records. I certainly don't have access to her emails, which it doesn't seem like anybody does. But the fundamental question is, with this deal and with the others we cite in the book, is it coincidence in a pattern that we see repeated dozens of times where large Clinton supporters have business before the State Department, they make large payments and favorable actions are taken?"

"I don't think that coincidences occur that frequently," he added.

There's plenty here to warrant an investigation. Senator Menendez was investigated for less. And was indicted...after an investigation.

But, of course, those emails.... :smilewinkgrin:
