HRC ROOM POST Clinton Cash Author Peter Schweizer's Anti-Clinton Haiti Conspiracy Falls Apart

Hillary Clinton Room Post

ERIC HANANOKI

Clinton Cash author Peter Schweizer's conspiracy that Bill Clinton's speaking fees influenced State Department grants in Haiti has fallen apart.

In his forthcoming book, the Republican activist and consultant alleges that Hillary Clinton's State Department "was quick to send taxpayer money" through a program called the Haiti Mobile Money Initiative (HMMI) to the company of Irish billionaire Denis O'Brien, who had allegedly helped arrange paid speeches for Bill Clinton that amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars around the same time. But Schweizer's allegation is undermined by numerous errors.

BuzzFeed reports today that "Bill Clinton was not paid for several speeches as reported in a forthcoming book about his family's foundation, spokespeople for the former president said."

They fabricate stories from unreliable rumors and then somehow convince themselves the stories are true.

say "let me make my point" and interrupted Howard Dean and would not allow Dean to get started on another sentence. Joe is getting out of hand, he wants to prevent statements of opposing points to enter the conversation. The show is much better without the filibuster. He wants to bring up Bob McDonnell getting a prison term for doing the same but he did not bring up Martha Stewart getting a prison term for insider trading but George W father protected him from the same while on the SEC.
