Will the Clinton-Cash Scandal Doom Hillary's White House Bid?
How should one think about the unfolding allegations rocking the Clinton-Industrial Complex (which includes both her campaign and her foundation)?
By now, you may have heard about Peter Schweizer's book, Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich. The book isn't even out yet, and Clinton's team is already sheltering in place like Churchill's cabinet during the Blitz. That's in part because Schweizer, a conservative author and dogged investigative journalist, has teamed up with the notorious right-wing rags the New York Times and the Washington Post to essentially re-report and expand on allegations made in the book.
Because it would be absurd to claim that these papers are part of the "vast right-wing conspiracy" - which won't stop flacks from saying it - they are much better equipped to drop the payload over the target.
Even Lawrence O'Donnell, a Democratic water-carrier of such sterling reliability that he makes Gunga Din look like a slacker, had to concede on MSNBC's Morning Joe that the Clinton campaign no longer has a Schweizer problem. It has "a New York Times problem."Also read:
