I'm confused is the headline referring to books about them or to cash they have printed?
Very nice! I think it’s really “genuine” in that under the SEX Seal it says:
“E Pluribus Coitus”
If the Hildabeast loses the L.A. Times, she might as well give up.
"The news stories that have stemmed from the book are forcing the campaign to engage with Schweizer, when it would likely prefer to just ignore him. Undermining his credibility has been made tougher by pieces in the New York Times and Washington Post written by seasoned investigative reporters who re-reported key findings and found them to be factual."
Buy the book, folks. Making it a smash hit is bound to upset Liberals, like buying a gun, going to Church and praying, and obeying the US Constitution.

Not only go and buy the book, also go to Amazon and publish your honest opinion of it, because according to the reviewer I reference below (his comments below are extremely informative as to what’s really going on) the Clinton flacks are posting bogus reviews on Amazon, trashing the book and attacking the messenger (the author), as per standard grifter Clinton dirty tricks procedures. For greatest impact, they are doing it the very first day the book comes out.
So make sure to not only read the book, post a review on Amazon about it, or the Clinton dirty tricks team will overwhelm the “Clinton Cash” book page with attack reviews. They already are. See below comments of the excellent reviewer I have referred to who has succinctly pointed out what is truly happening on both the Clinton controversy itself and over on Amazon with the attempt to snowjob future readers from buying the book by giving it bad one star reviews:

5Read the book for yourself and not allow the Clinton Attack Machine to divert your attention from the important questions raised
ByCraig MattesonHALL OF FAMETOP 1000 REVIEWERon May 5, 2015
Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
No matter what I write about this book someone will take offense, dismiss and attack what I write without reading a word of it. So, when you look at the votes and read the comments, take it all with a box of Morton Salt. This is a book that was written to draw lightning. Some of the writers who defend the Clintons, such as Newsweek, review this book as a hatchet job. Others will dismiss any examination of the author’s motives as unfair and irrelevant. I say, let the facts speak and judge the author on whether he is asking serious questions, presenting honest evidence, and drawing reasonable conclusions. In my view, he is. He is not making claims beyond what the evidence supports, but he does ask why there are always a preposterous number of coincidences around Bill and Hillary and everything they do. And how something that enriches this couple so fabulously can also somehow be characterized as both public service and charity.
Mind you, Hillary was the one claiming poverty when trying to get mortgages (plural) for their homes (also plural). They were part of the political wing that vilified Romney for his wealth without ever blushing at their being in the same ball park as him. Romney at least made his money in the private sector. The Clintons seem to have made theirs by trading on the political connections and power while dancing on a razor’s edge away from the legal definition of illegality. And somehow, for the Clintons and their acolytes, if they aren’t on videotape actually admitting to taking cash for delivering political favors it somehow never happened. As you read the evidence around the transactions reported in this book, I think you have to have some pretty thick rose colored lenses to not see some difficulty in the connections, arrangements, deals, payments, and reporting of the transactions as required by law. But we can each judge for ourselves. The Clintons hope you will reject the book. Hillary’s opponents hope you will either embrace it or at least begin asking some probing questions of your own and go digging for more evidence.
The Clintons have a well-practiced and effective Method of dealing with an immediate crisis caused when yet another scandal arises, and they always do with these two. It works like this: The scandal breaks and Team Clinton immediately sends out people like Begala and Carville to attack the reporters, whistleblowers, or regular folks who dare tell the world what is going on. Another group of somewhat more removed Clintonistas hit the air, cable, and print media to deny the scandal outright. The Clintons avoid speaking for as long as possible. The idea is to consume as many of the information cycles as possible with their own accusations and denials to overwhelm the scandal outright. If they can’t do that and they must speak, they know it doesn’t matter what they say. It can be directly in conflict with the evidence because they have put so much by way of denial in the media that the “fair” media will quote the denials as if they were legitimate bits of evidence, too. Eventually, another event comes along and bumps this scandal from the headlines and then it will either, go away or if it does come back into view, they just refuse to discuss it as old news and declare that the public knows it was politically motivated and that there is nothing to it. Really. This is their method. And it works for them. Absurdly; it works.
You can see a similar method used by those on the Left here on Amazon and right here with this book. They will latch on to a book they hate and provide a vast number of one-star “reviews” of a sentence or two that say nothing at all except claiming the book is all lies, or old and outdated claims that have been disproven, or that the author is in thrall to the Koch brothers or some other Conservative paymaster. They often use fake names so you can’t even tell if the same person is posting multiple attacks using multiple accounts. It is always the same. The idea is to overwhelm the book with so many reviews that the real reviews get hidden in the clutter and people just stop looking and reading. Do you see this pattern? Of course. It is right in front of your eyes.
The Clintons have raked in billions for their foundation (The Family Business) by using another well-oiled and smoothly running operation that works something like this. You can see a version of it in every deal cited in this book.
A super rich person the Clintons want as a donor and who needs or wants a piece of influence peddled for them for their nation, oil venture, uranium deals, their for profit university, their “non-profit” charity, telemarketing business, or whatever, walks into the shadow of the great Sun of the Clinton Sphere of Influence. Checks are written to the Clinton Foundations, fabulously rich speaking fees are paid, and lavish travel and accommodations are provided. While there giving the speech, charitable photo opportunities and stories are provided on camera to great fanfare and wide media coverage. Once the lights are turned off and in the quiet after the reporters go off to wherever it is reporters go when not flacking for the Clintons, deals are worked out in quiet rooms without anything being done directly that breaks the law or at least recorded and becoming evidence for breaking the law. Remember, this is all about access to the Clinton world. They provide connections to a vast entourage of connected influencers. The price of admission are the donations to the Clinton Foundation and the fees to Bill and Hillary.
But unseemly is not illegal and seems to be something the Clintons are very comfortable with as they “do good” in the world for their Foundation. More money flows to the Foundation in seven figures and more. Mere millions are minor donations according to Lanny Davis. Somehow, despite assurances of transparency by Bill and Hillary, these donations are generally not reported until they are caught not reporting them. Even when they are caught, the media barely talks about them because the Clintons declare them an oversight and promise to fix them right away. And because the public is never told to care it doesn’t pay attention to the absurdity of this level of corruption by someone running for President; essentially for a third and fourth term or the Clinton Machine.
The issues raised by Schweitzer in this book are serious and the Clintons need to answer for the vast ocean of money raised. We have already seen them admit to more than $30 million raised from more than a thousand donors that they never reported to authorities as was required by law and their own promises of transparency. That seems far too systematic and large to be the mere mistake they want us to believe. Will the press hold them accountable? We shall see. What I honestly don’t get is how Progressives who honestly believe in their agenda can stomach this kind of naked profiteering, money grubbing, influence peddling, and corruption so enthusiastically. We saw there is no shame from the Clintons; ever. But from the entire Democrat party? From all the Progressive Media? I mean the way the Clintons behave would make a Tammany Hall blush and Huey Long stare in admiration at the audacity of it all.
Those of us who remember the scandals from the first and second Clinton Administrations do not want to go through them again. But their fans will forgive them anything. Anything. And the Clintons have more than $2 billion raised by their vast machine to ensure they regain the Whitehouse.
Will we let them have it?
I hope not.
This book will never persuade anyone who is already worshipping at the altar of Hillary. Not because it fails to present convincing evidence and powerful arguments, but because those who already believe in Hillary Right Or Wrong are not looking for evidence or weighing arguments.
While the book is interesting to those of us who could never be persuaded to vote for her under any circumstance whatsoever, the more interesting question is whether this book can get the traction with the public to start raising questions in the minds of those who might be leaning towards Hillary but have concerns or are leaning away from her and need a little more to move further away. I hope it does. In any case, I hope you get the book, read it with an open mind and think about the ridiculous number of coincidences the Clintons want you to believe don’t provide evidence of corrupt dealing.

EXCERPT--LA TIMES: At the heart of the tale are leaders of the Canadian mining industry---major donors to the Clinton Foundation. The Canadian group built, financed and eventually sold off to the Russians a company that would become known as Uranium One. Beyond mines in Kazakhstan that are among the most lucrative in the world, the sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States.
Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. Among the agencies that eventually signed off was the State Department, then headed by Mr. Clinton’s wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
==============================================
Canadian Donors and Uranium Investors who contributed to the Clinton Foundation
Frank Giustra---$31.3 million donation and a pledge for $100 million more to the Clinton Foundation. He built the company that later merged with Uranium One. Shares once traded at 10 cents per share later sold at over 7.00 per share when the deal was completed.
Ian Telfer---$2.35 million donor to the Clinton Foundation. Mining investor who was chairman of Uranium One when an arm of the Russian government, Rosatom, acquired it.
Paul Reynolds--$1 million to $5 million Clinton Foundation donor. Adviser on 2007 UrAsia-Uranium One merger. Later helped raise $260 million for the company.
Frank Holmes--$250,000 to $500,000 Clinton foundation donor. Chief Executive of U.S. Global Investors Inc., which held $4.7 million in Uranium One shares in the first quarter of 2011.
Neil Woodyer--$50,000 to $100,000 Clinton foundation donor. Adviser to Uranium One. Founded Endeavour Mining with Mr. Giustra.
GMP Securities Ltd. Donating portion of profits to Clinton foundation. Worked on debt issue that raised $260 million for Uranium One.
Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra is one of
the Clinton Foundation’s largest donors. Giustra's
contributions go both directly to the foundation, and,
to a Canadian charity, which in turn sends money to the
Clinton Foundation.

Philanthropist Bill Clinton and his Canadian pal, Frank Giustra, fly to Kazakhstan on Giustra's private jet named "Doing Good And Making A Buck On It."
Bill Clinton went to Kazahstan--during election time--a huge no-no in politics----with visions of $$$sugar plums dancing in his head. Clinton lavi$hly prai$ed the candidate, a dictator who won w/ 90% of the vote---an obviously rigged election.
<><> (1) the head of the Kazakhstan agency that oversees the country’s mining, said that Secy of State Hillary Clinton pressured Kazakh officials to sell uranium assets to Giustra’s firm, and,
<><> (2) Bill Clinton adviser Tim Phillips said Hillary would not meet with him until Kazakh officials agreed to Giustra’s nuclear deal.
Seems Secy of State Hillary never informed Obama that she was jerking around foreign policy WRT the sale of 50% of US uranium mine capacity----to a country dealing with Iran.
Barack, Bill, Hillary and Frank sob all the way to the bank.
The End.

I'm no fan of the Clintons, but this one is the worst... even by their tacky 'standards'. The FBI needs to look into this one.
Scweizer himself sums up the Clintons on page 183 of his blockbuster book: "The Clintons are perhaps the most politically sophisticated public figures of their generation. They know how things work in the corridors of power and around the world; they know that foreign governments are trying to influence American foreign policy; and they know that bribery is rampant around the world.
"The (cunning-calculated) Clintons have numerous avenues for making money. Some of those avenues might not be as lucrative as giving a $700,000 speech in Nigeria, but they would be much cleaner." (p. 183)
