With an exasperated swipe at “absurd right-wing conspiracy theories,” Hillary Clinton’s campaign on Wednesday rejected the allegation in a new book that she watered down Iran sanctions to please a corporation that paid Bill Clinton a fortune in speaking fees.

The accusation appears in “Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich,” which is due out May 5. Republicans hope the book will cripple her presidential bid. Democrats have underlined conservative author Peter Schweizer’s past credibility problems.

But the charges — and the Clinton team’s aggressive and systematic pushback against them — highlight once again how vulnerable the former first lady, senator, and secretary of state could prove to be to attacks centered on her family’s finances since they left the White House......

Americans who want to succeed, and who want our country to succeed, need to consider Hillary's and Bill's devotion to the U.N. and to their multi-billion dollar slush fund, called the Clinton Global Initiative.

The Clintons and their backers look to the UN, and to George Soros, and to anti-American countries (who have a vested interest in a weak U.S. national defense [what Hillary and her administration in waiting call "SMART" national/international defense/diplomacy] and a weak U.S. economy).

When Americans (of all stripes) understand that this is where the Clinton's money and muscle comes from, they will understand why her election to the White House is so bad for them, and the country.

It couldn't be clearer and that is why the MSM is going along with Hillary's "Un-running" campaign.

Too bad Harold Robbins died so many years before the Clinton's came on stage.

In addition 15% of the take goes to helping their charitable causes like Commie Core, Global Warming and the campaign.

The Clinton connection to Russia’s claims on uranium

"The headline in Pravda trumpeted President Vladimir Putin's latest coup, its nationalistic fervor recalling an era when the newspaper served as the official mouthpiece of the Kremlin: "Russian Nuclear Energy Conquers the World."

The article, in January 2013, detailed how the Russian atomic energy agency, Rosatom, had taken over a Canadian company with uranium-mining stakes stretching from Central Asia to the American West. The deal made Rosatom one of the world's largest uranium producers and brought Putin closer to his goal of controlling much of the global uranium supply chain.

But the untold story behind that story is one that involves not just the Russian president but also a former US president and a woman who would like to be the next one.

At the heart of the tale are several men, leaders of the Canadian mining industry, who have been major donors to the charitable endeavors of former President Bill Clinton and his family. Members of that group built, financed and eventually sold to the Russians a company that would become known as Uranium One.".....

And they can pass ALL the money on to their heirs so that they too can write everything off.

As sad as this is to say, I think the Clintons are pretty much immune to this type of attack now.

48+ percent of voters will vote for Hillary no matter what, and $2.5 billion in campaign funds will buy a lot of commercials on TMZ and Acess Hollywood for that last 1-2 percent.

I think black voters may stay home on Election Day. Hillary had the temerity to oppose Obama for the nomination in ‘08.

This morning, I read - slowly - the piece linked below.

It is a great window on the conflict in the black community over Obama. Read between the lines (it isn’t hard).

There is no corner of this country (world) where Obama hasn’t wreaked havoc.

But the black community is an interesting place to see it, as he was not supposed to cause such angst.

Thanks for the link. I’m about half way through the article but I plan to read it through. I think I need an Progressive-English dictionary at my elbow, however.
