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 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 these papers are part of the “vast right-wing conspiracy” — which won’t stop flacks from saying it — they’re 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.”
It’s hard to boil down the Times’ deeply detailed account, but the broad brushstrokes are as follows: A Canadian business wanted to sell its uranium mines in Kazakhstan and the United States to a Russian state-run — i.e., Vladimir Putin-run — firm.
In order to grease the skids — allegedly, of course — Canadian uranium moguls Frank Giustra and Ian Telfer gave millions to the Clinton Foundation and arranged for a $500,000 speech by Bill Clinton (whose speaking fees mysteriously skyrocketed after his wife became secretary of state), bankrolled by a Russian investment bank with interests in the deal....
Also, when she became secretary of state, Hillary Clinton promised to disclose all such donations to the Clinton Foundation and submit her husband’s foreign speeches for White House review. None of that happened.
There are other allegations in this story and, more important, there are many more such stories to come (according to several people who’ve read the book)....

Bfl....except I would title for DEMOCRATS not just the Hill
I don’t disagree with what you wrote; “The Slimes is one of the rags which decides what stories are big.” The key word is one. If a news organization found a story to pursue and sell papers or get great rating, I would think they would do so.
There are guesses that it was Valerie Jarrett, but you probably have heard that already.
That’s a winnah! Thanks for sharing.
