'Clinton Cash' Author Defends Upcoming Book
Apr 26, 2015, 2:56 PM ET
The author of a forthcoming book on Hillary Clinton
and foreign donations made to her family's foundation defended the
accuracy of his research, saying in an interview on ABC's "This Week"
today that while he found "no direct evidence" she took official action
at the State Department to benefit donors to her family's foundation, the "smoking gun is in the pattern of behavior."
Peter Schweizer's book, "Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why
Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich,"
highlights instances in which domestic and foreign companies with
pending interests before the State Department made large donations to
the Clinton's charitable enterprises or, in some cases, helped
underwrite the former president's speeches. The Clinton campaign has
adamantly denied these reports, saying Schweizer's book is a distraction
and does not produce a "shred of evidence" that she took official
action on behalf of donors.
"I think the real question here is … when you ever have an issue with
the flow of funds to political candidates, whether that's to campaigns,
whether that’s to private foundations, whether that’s to their spouse -
is there evidence of a pattern of favorable decisions being made for
those individuals?" said Schweizer, an author and conservative think
tank fellow. "I think the point that we make in the book is that there
is a troubling pattern."
An investigation by ABC News focused on Bill Clinton's
speaking fees, which grew substantially when she joined the Obama
cabinet and totaled in the tens of millions. It found that several
sponsors paid former President Clinton for speeches while they had
pending business with the State Department. ABC News also found,
however, no proof that Clinton took any direct action to benefit those
groups.
A recent report in The New York Times, based on claims made in "Clinton Cash," raised questions about donations made to the Clinton Foundation that coincided with the approval of a Russian
uranium deal during her tenure at the State Department. The
undersecretary who worked on the deal, however, has said that Clinton
was not involved in the sale.
Schweizer said he does not have "direct evidence" that Clinton
intervened on the uranium deal, but added that "this is part of the
broader pattern" that he said should still be investigated.
"The smoking gun is in the pattern of behavior," he said, later adding,
"You either have to come to the conclusion that these are all
coincidences or something else is afoot."
In response to recent questions about the Clinton Foundation's
disclosure of donors and tax filings, Acting CEO Maura Pally said in a
statement today that "yes, we made mistakes … but we are acting quickly
to remedy them, and have taken steps to ensure they don't happen in the
future."
ABC News' Matthew Mosk and Brian Ross contributed to this report.
A note from “This Week” anchor George Stephanopoulos on May 14, 2015:
“I made charitable donations to the Foundation in support of the work
they’re doing on global AIDS prevention and deforestation, causes I care
about deeply. I thought that my contributions were a matter of public
record. However, in hindsight, I should have taken the extra step of
personally disclosing my donations to my employer and to the viewers on
air during the recent news stories about the Foundation. I apologize.”

There
was a time in America when crooks and liars on the scale of the
Clintons would be wearing jailhouse orange instead on running for
President . But the American people not Only tolerate those like the
Clintons , they admire them . And will Vote for them in mass for Public
Office. So the Problem is the Voter for which there is no cure i'm
afraid .
Follow the money
trail,There both Corporate owned,the average Joe doesn't stand a chance
in life with this corruption in the White House we need to clean house.
====================
The
book does not hit shelves until May 5, but already the Republican Rand
Paul has called its findings “big news” that will “shock people” and
make voters “question” the candidacy of Hillary Rodham Clinton.
“Clinton
Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and
Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich,” by Peter Schweizer — a
186-page investigation of donations made to the Clinton Foundation by
foreign entities — is proving the most anticipated and feared book of a
presidential cycle still in its infancy.
The
book, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times, asserts that
foreign entities who made payments to the Clinton Foundation and to Mr.
Clinton through high speaking fees received favors from Mrs. Clinton’s
State Department in return.
“We
will see a pattern of financial transactions involving the Clintons
that occurred contemporaneous with favorable U.S. policy decisions
benefiting those providing the funds,” Mr. Schweizer writes.
His
examples include a free-trade agreement in Colombia that benefited a
major foundation donor’s natural resource investments in the South
American nation, development projects in the aftermath of the Haitian
earthquake in 2010, and more than $1 million in payments to Mr. Clinton
by a Canadian bank and major shareholder in the Keystone XL oil pipeline around the time the project was being debated in the State Department.
What Hillary Clinton Would Need to Do to Win
In
the long lead up to Mrs. Clinton’s campaign announcement, aides proved
adept in swatting down critical books as conservative propaganda,
including Edward Klein’s “Blood Feud,” about tensions between the
Clintons and the Obamas, and Daniel Halper’s “Clinton Inc.: The
Audacious Rebuilding of a Political Machine.”
But
“Clinton Cash” is potentially more unsettling, both because of its
focused reporting and because major news organizations including The
Times, The Washington Post and Fox News have exclusive agreements with
the author to pursue the story lines found in the book.
Members
of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which includes Mr. Paul and
Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, have been briefed on the book’s
findings, and its contents have already made their way into several of
the Republican presidential candidates’ campaigns.
Conservative “super PACs” plan to seize on “Clinton Cash,” and a pro-Democrat super PAC
has already assembled a dossier on Mr. Schweizer, a speechwriting
consultant to former President George W. Bush and a fellow at the
conservative Hoover Institution who has contributed to the conservative
website Breitbart.com, to make the case that he has a bias against Mrs.
Clinton.
Who Is Running for President (and Who’s Not)?
And
the newly assembled Clinton campaign team is planning a full-court
press to diminish the book as yet another conservative hit job.
A
campaign spokesman, Brian Fallon, called the book part of the
Republicans’ coordinated attack strategy on Mrs. Clinton “twisting
previously known facts into absurd conspiracy theories,” and he said “it
will not be the first work of partisan-fueled fiction about the
Clintons’ record, and we know it will not be the last.”
Mr.
Schweizer and a spokeswoman for HarperCollins, which is owned by News
Corporation and is publishing the book, declined to comment.
The timing is problematic for Mrs. Clinton as she begins a campaign to position herself as a “champion for everyday Americans.”
From
2001 to 2012, the Clintons’ income was at least $136.5 million, Mr.
Schweizer writes, using a figure previously reported in The Post.
“During Hillary’s years of public service, the Clintons have conducted
or facilitated hundreds of large transactions” with foreign governments
and individuals, he writes. “Some of these transactions have put
millions in their own pockets.”
The
Clinton Foundation has come under scrutiny for accepting foreign
donations while Mrs. Clinton served as secretary of state. Last week,
the foundation revised its policy to allow donations from countries like
Germany, Canada, the Netherlands and Britain but prohibit giving by
other nations in the Middle East.
Mr. Schweizer’s book will be released the same day former President Bill Clinton
and the Clintons’ daughter, Chelsea, will host the Clinton Global
Initiative gathering with donors in Morocco, the culmination of a
foundation trip to several African nations. (A chapter in the book is
titled “Warlord Economics: The Clintons Do Africa.”)
There
is a robust market for books critical of the Clintons. The thinly
sourced “Blood Feud,” by Mr. Klein, at one point overtook Mrs. Clinton’s
memoir “Hard Choices” on the best-seller list.
But
whether Mr. Schweizer’s book can deliver the same sales is not clear.
He writes mainly in the voice of a neutral journalist and meticulously
documents his sources, including tax records and government documents,
while leaving little doubt about his view of the Clintons.
His
reporting largely focuses on payments made to Mr. Clinton for speeches,
which increased while his wife served as secretary of state, writing
that “of the 13 Clinton speeches that fetched $500,000 or more, only two
occurred during the years his wife was not secretary of state.”
In
2011, Mr. Clinton made $13.3 million in speaking fees for 54 speeches,
the majority of which were made overseas, the author writes.
