“CLINTON CASH” REALITY CHECK
Background: Many have pointed out the numerous instances of misinformation in “Clinton Cash.” Pundits and members of the media have concluded the book offers a series of discredited and disproved attacks.
Clinton campaign spokesman: Nobody “has ever produced a shred of evidence supporting the theory that Hillary Clinton ever took action as secretary of state to support the interests of donors to the Clinton Foundation.”] [NYT, 4/23/15]
KEY POINTS:
“Clinton Cash” is a political hatchet job masquerading as a book. It was written by Peter Schweizer, a Republican consultant and activist, whose inaccurate reporting and deep conservative ties have given him a major credibility problem..
The sale of a uranium company to Russia required at least nine federal officials and agencies. Secretary Clinton was not personally involved.
There is no evidence that Secretary Clinton’s support of the trade deal was in any way linked to Frank Giustra’s contributions to the Clinton Foundation. In the words of former administration adviser David Axelrod, “that’s nuts!”
The Clinton Foundation – a charity that has improved the lives of people around the world – is ranked as one of the most transparent charities in the world, yet they are attacked due to it. President Clinton’s speaking proceeds are public and old news.
The Clinton Foundation is a global philanthropy. As with other charities, it receives donations from around the world because it is working to improve the lives of millions.
