The book, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times, asserts that foreign entities who made payments to the Clinton Foundation and to Mr. Clinton through high speaking fees received favors from Mrs. Clinton’s State Department in return.
“We will see a pattern of financial transactions involving the Clintons that occurred contemporaneous with favorable U.S. policy decisions benefiting those providing the funds,” Mr. Schweizer writes.
His examples include a free-trade agreement in Colombia that benefited a major foundation donor’s natural resource investments in the South American nation, development projects in the aftermath of the Haitian earthquake in 2010, and more than $1 million in payments to Mr. Clinton by a Canadian bank and major shareholder in the Keystone XL oil pipeline around the time the project was being debated in the State Department.
“Clinton Cash” is potentially more unsettling, both because of its focused reporting and because major news organizations including The Times, The Washington Post and Fox News have exclusive agreements with the author to pursue the story lines found in the book. (read the whole thing)

I'm shocked to learn the Clintons are wealthy beyond measure because of cronyism, pay-to-play, and corruption. shocked!
You mean to tell me they are not self-made? Instead they are connection, graft, muscle, and crony made. The mob stands in awe.
The one thing I do not understand is why on earth any institution would agree to plunk down $200,000+ to listen to Hillary pat her self on the back about what a champion she is with women's issues.
btw- last night on PBS - the girl power propaganda was thick. It's all for Hillary.
Holy crap that's scary.
When the old outlaws robbed a train or stage coach and delivered the strong box full of gold to Boss Hill they probably all laughed like that.
Intapundit: That sort of behavior is, of course, a carryover from Bill’s time in office. But here’s why Hillary should worry: “Major news organizations including The Times, The Washington Post and Fox News have exclusive agreements with the author to pursue the story lines found in the book.”
The Foundation was just a way to get around campaign finance laws, a different way than the soft money loophole they exploited when Bill was in the white house.
What's sad is it won't make a bit of difference. The vast majority of liberals and Democrats simply don't care how corrupt the Clinton's are - or how ethically challenged. Any Republican would have had his/her career ended after impeachment, the Rich pardons, etc. etc. But the liberals JUST DONT CARE.
To comfort themselves with illusions, The left are blaming the Clintons multi-decades long history of graft and universal lobbying as some sort of derivative of Citizens United.
Morons.
It isn't even so much the levels of corruption. It's how utterly widespread it is and how deeply rooted it has become. They are all dirty.
As the saying goes, they only have rich friends.
Disgusting pigs at the trough. NYTimes hates the Clintons so this could help...a little.
Billions from the Saudis, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates to the Clinton Foundation. Hillary's Huma fixation. One thing is not even in question. The Islamic jihad - and that includes jihad against and within the United States - will go unanswered during Hillary's presidency. Her paid passivity vis-a-vis Islam will complete the Obama project.

The next big push by libs is going to be death panels - won't be called that of course. I saw Sen, Warner of Virginia on Morning joe this morning and he was yakking about "planning" etc and took a swipe at Sarah Palin for inflaming the topic when she labelled it "death panels". Who is gonna make money of tof this initiative? Big health care and Meeicare will save money.
This is why people give big bucks to ghouls like the Clintons so their interests will have a loud voice in the guvmint and they will make more money.
Don't think King Putt doesn't have similar deals lined up. He's just getting started.
DC is disgusting and the clintons are the rotting cherry on top.
