Clinton Cash: A Scathing Broadside Aimed at Persuading Liberals

It would be easy to dismiss an hour-long film adaptation of Peter Schweizer’s book about the charitable-political-nonprofit complex of Bill and Hillary Clinton as nothing more than conservative propaganda. But sitting in a Manhattan screening room late Wednesday, it quickly became clear that conservatives weren’t the intended audience for Clinton Cash.

Environmentalists. Anti-nuke activists. Gay-rights advocates. Good-government folks. They’re all going to find themselves increasingly uncomfortable over claims that the likely Democratic nominee, in the film’s words, takes cash from the “darkest, worst corners of the world.”(snip)

"When it comes to the Clintons, you have to follow the money,” Schweizer says in a rough-cut previewed for TIME.(snip)

There are plenty of digs at the Clintons, who Hillary Clinton famously said were “dead broke” and laden with legal bills when they left the White House in 2001. The film says, in not-subtle terms, that the Clintons padded their personal finances with cash from foreigners. And, for good measure, there are jabs at the Clintons’ perceived arrogance, including shots that Hillary Clinton delayed relief supplies after the Haitian earthquake because the plane occupied the tarmac before she “was whisked away.”

The film’s team plans to, in Bannon’s words, “carpet-bomb this all over.” That means a screening on Monday to distributors on the sidelines of the Cannes Film Festival in France. But they’re also looking at distribution outlets through Netflix, YouTube, Amazon and others, just to get it out there. “We want this to go out to as many people as possible,” Bannon said. And unlike the 2008 anti-Clinton movie, streaming video is now quite common, meaning the film has a much wider potential audience.

No, must have missed that. If you run across any more info about that death or remember any more about it, please post here. Thanks.

And two of the companies were Canadian. I don’t think any company would pay $225,000-250,000 per speech, without expecting something in return.

Think First Uranium.

It’s been said many times, many ways...but I honestly think Hillary is going to jail. It would restore my faith in the country like nothing else would.

I have a friend who’s still convinced that Trump is in the race to help Hillary. Madness.
