"Clinton Cash" by Peter Schweitzer

[fadedrose]

Desperate for something to watch, started at Channel 1 and just kept going up.

Finally when I got to 96, there was C-Span's early morning program showcasing "Clinton Cash," written by Peter Schweitzer.

Interesting calls, for and against the author. But what told me that there might be some truth in the book is that when a caller accused him of just trying to make money with a book, he simply told them to, "go to the library, and get the book there, and just read it."

I ordered the book from the library. If you look in search, you could find reviews both for an against the book, whatever suits your fancy.

1. You know what tells me there is NO truth in the book..

because it is full of lies and innuendo and NO facts to point to any wrong doing. A hit piece by a republican attack dog. The News Senior Editor at Large for Breitbart.

Also, the library had to order and pay for the book, so even if you went and read it there, you are creating a demand for the slop. So, telling someone to check it out at the library means nada.

You do what you like, though.

5. It's right up there on my reading list, right after the Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion./NT

2. Of course there's truth to it. I SMH at the denialists, the binary thinkers on these matters.

The people who say:

If any one part is wrong then there's no truth to it.

If it's been promoted by a RW source, it must be filled with lies.

The book is probably worth reading, then probably needs to be fact-checked by a neutral party.

I'm confident that parts of it are true. But, either way, there's enough factual baggage out there that this candidate will never ever become president.

What a horrible candidate if you want to make the world a better place.

3. The charities

are a big part of the Initiative, but they get 10% of the massive fund. The rest goes to mostly salaries. Must be a lot of people working for them.

4. It goes to salaries in the same way...

It goes to salaries in the same way as if I opened a free clinics and most of the money I raised went to pay for doctors, nurses, and administrative staff.

For instance when it comes to combatting HIV in Africa they buy the drugs themselves and then give them away.



The 10% figure is a right wing canard and Peter Schweitzer is a right wing shill... Pity the clown. He will have to watch St. Hillary's inauguration on C-Span or most likely FOX.

7. There are, I think, seven separate charities, some of the salaries are over $400,000 year!!!

You know, you have a friend, you give them a gig for $429,000 plus bennies and then they help the poor or sick people.

Easy peasie.
