One of my favorite political writers today is Peter Schweizer.
His books are meticulously researched, and even though the mainstream media hates him, they often refer to his work in their reports.
Yet, when Bill Clinton wrote his recent book, he referred to Schweizer, calling him a right-wing propaganda writer.
Just Wrong
Schweizer took exception to the 1,500 words or so that Clinton dedicated to him in his book, and wanted to set the record straight.
Clinton defended the attacks from Schweizer regarding the claims he made in “Clinton Cash,” claiming there were no issues with the uranium deal that Hillary made as Secretary of State.
Schweizer responded, “Clinton baldly claims that there was no scandal there, employing the same dodge that Clinton defenders used when the scandal was first exposed – that Hillary Clinton did not personally approve the uranium deal.
“That, as the former president knows, is a distinction with no difference. In fact, it is not even a distinction.
“The required approval was handled by a State staffer who’d later be shown to have close ties to John Podesta, Clinton operative and Hillary’s campaign chairman.”
Some of the publications that referenced “Clinton Cash” were The New York Times and The Washington Post, yet Clinton insisted he is a “right-wing propagandist.”
Schweizer continued, “Clinton somehow hopes you’ll believe that the New York Times, The Washington Post, HuffPost, Bloomberg News, and many other left-leaning or mainstream outlets were operating as part of some vast right-wing conspiracy.”
He concluded, “Bill Clinton’s purpose in writing “Citizen: My Life After the White House” may have been to burnish the Clinton brand at a moment when Democrats could use the savvy and raw political instinct of the old Clinton.
“But Clintonism, for all of its political utility, cannot be separated from the persons of Bill and Hillary Clinton, and will forever be marred by a history of scandal, no matter how many rewrites the Clintons and their allies attempt.”
Now, how many mainstream media outlets do you think will call out Bill Clinton on this when he is doing the media circuit?
Well, Bill has made about a half-dozen appearances so far, and not a single one of them has said a word.
