Clinton Cash

the clintons

The McGlynn:

The Clintons are disgusting. Private partnerships are the new pork barrel spending making corporations rich thru non profits government economic developments. It’s disgraceful but not too many people are smart and patient enough to follow the money.

 People have to raise their voices. More than just voices. Raise holy hell! Write, call, get involved.

In 2015, Harper Collins published Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich, a 256-page book investigating the donations made to the Clinton Foundation by foreign entities.[15] Several media outlets received advance copies, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Fox News, all of whom agreed to pursue stories found in the book.[15] Time wrote that “allegations are presented as questions rather than proof” but that “the book’s dark suggestions reflect the growing problem Clinton faces in her run for the White House in 2016 as more and more details of the foundation’s fundraising activities present the appearance of impropriety and lack of transparency during her time as Secretary of State.”[16]

Several weeks after the book’s initial publication, Harper Collins and the author made several corrections to the Kindle edition of the book. Schweizer corrected “seven or eight” passages that were revealed to be inaccurate after the book was released.[17]

In the wake of the book’s publication, the Clinton Foundation admitted that it made mistakes in disclosing some of its contributions and that it implemented new rules increasing financial reporting and limiting foreign donations.[18]

Politifact investigated and found false one of the book’s claims which Donald Trump cited. Clinton Cash claims that Hillary Clinton funneled money from the State Department to a non-profit, Laureate Education, which employed her husband. Poltifact found Schweizer had conflated Laureate Education with a different charitable organization (The International Youth Foundation) which had long received funds from other government agencies, but not the State Department.[19]
