STEPHANOPOULOS FLOORED AS GINGRICH, BLOOMBERG EDITORS DETAIL SERIOUSNESS OF ‘CLINTON CASH’
Breitbart Big Journalism ^ | 26 Apr 2015 | Written by Matthew Boyle

Posted on 04/26/2015 12:47:36 PM PDT by Resettozero

The former public face of Bill Clinton’s White House—and current host of ABC News’ This Week—George Stephanopoulos was floored as two prominent journalists and the Republican Speaker of the House from his Clinton days, Newt Gingrich, laid out for him just how bad the “Clinton Cash” book is for his old bosses.

During the show’s roundtable panel after Clinton Cash author Peter Schweizer appeared on the show for a lengthy interview, Stephanopoulos teamed with Democratic strategist Donna Brazile in an attempt to discredit Schweizer. But it started with Stephanopoulos making a shocking admission: Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign wouldn’t send out any official surrogates or spokespeople to defend her on this scandal.

“Donna, I got to talk to you first—I know you’re close to the Clinton team—they did not want to put anybody out to talk about this book today even though we asked, and you just saw Peter Schweizer there,” Stephanopoulos said to Brazile. “What do you make of his allegations generally but also his specific allegation that he makes that there are undisclosed donations to the Clinton Foundation from foreign charities?”

Brazile admitted she doesn’t know what’s in the book. Yet, without having read it, she proceeded to drop a series of rhetorical attacks on Schweizer. She also offered the Clinton campaign advice on how to attempt to get past Clinton Cash.

That's pretty damn funny, and like Goering telling Himmler that he knows that he is close to Hitler.

Cannot remember if it was Donna, or Janet, another Clintonista who was seen at an airport years ago with lesbian porn in her suitcase. One report said MAGAZINES fell onto the floor.

Steffie must have gotten a portion of what Obama got from Hills? Surely she did not cut Obama out of the deals with Ukraine/Russia/Saudi.

Back in the good ol' days the Clintons would just have sent the author to Ft. Marcy Park and that would have been that.

They seem to have lost their touch!

The recent mild success and popularity of the Underwoods on Neftlix (H of C) may be kicking the underpinning from the Clintons' house!

George Schlep-our-mop-for-us tried to please everyone who counts in his life. Keep the network happy by talking about the latest NYT story, keep the Democrats happy (who don’t really want Hillary to be their one and only candidate), and keep Hillary’s hit squad off his case by pretending to come to her defense.

George, I don’t think you make anyone happy today. Except maybe me. Thanks, Georgie.

Newt does not mince words. The DemonRAT apparatchik will try to underplay this, but the Rope-A-Dope strategy is yesteryear’s tactic that won’t play. With no viable strategy, the Clintons should be up the creek (Whitewater II?) without a paddle.

“Look, this isn’t a political problem—this is a historical problem,” Gingrich said. “The Constitution of the United States says you cannot take money from foreign governments without explicit permission of the Congress. They wrote that in there because they knew the danger of corrupting our system by foreign money is enormous.

Wow! I recently installed AdBlock to my IE and can actually read a Breitbart article without the ads locking up my browser

My husband recommended that to me when I was complaining about another site that takes forever to load and read, because of the amount of ads. Do you recommend the Adblock?

I had no trouble moments ago. Even Facebooked it to my friends. The story nails the Clintons to the wall. And, because reputations are at stake, will dry up the big pocket donors. I hope the Clintons dry up and blow away from the political landscape.

I agree with you.

StepNFetchit was blatantly revealing his bias against Schweizer and for the Clintons with ad hominem attacks against the author. Schweizer handled himself professionally and even made GeorgieBoy look strident and subjective. It wasn't too hard to see that StepNFetchit was in the Clintons' camp rooting for them.

The media, for some reason, does not like the Clintons. I think there is so much swept under the rug, that it has become a trip hazard. The alternative media will eat them for lunch and they know it.

Thanks, Upchuck.
But it occurs to me that Breitbart would want to make the site more friendly, rather than have otherwise interested readers be forced to take defensive action by installing software we don’t want. The underinformed voter,newly curious who might try a Breightbart story will just blow it off when the computer locks up.

In times like this, where information is crucial to the general populace, I hope that hardhitting, cutting edge websites make their reports general populace friendly.
The revenue will follow.
