Indlæser... Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and… (2015)af Peter Schweizer
![]() Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. The book is better than its title. (The title of another Schweizer book, Throw Them All Out is, in terms of titles of books about politics, second only to P. J. O'Roarke's Parliament of Whores.) Belonging on the Shocked To Find Gambling in Casablanca shelf, Clinton Cash details the apparent (and obvious) connections between donations to the Clinton Foundation and Hilary's influence as Secretary of State. Topics include uranium mining rights in Kazakhstan, nuclear weapons in India, telecommunications in Sweden, and relief efforts in Haiti. Mark Rich also makes some appearances. (Remember him?) Schweizer and his team have done significant research--the claims are extensively documented and footnoted--but this doesn't always make for a good read. Each paragraph contains the names of two new people who disappear a page later and there are many acronyms to which a reader has to flip back a page to recall the organizations for which they stand. There also aren't many interesting turn-of-phrases or moment of irony. If you're interested in the story, check out the 60 Minutes story in which they interviewed Schweizer about his book Extortion>. ( ![]() The Clintons are as crooked as the day is long. I thought the book was very informative. Who would ever pay Slick Willie a half million dollars for a speech, unless it was a bribe. The Clintons have lied to the public throughout their political careers. Who can forget, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman," Slick Will declared. Even though this book and other books point out their indiscretions and crimes, I have doubt that they will ever pay for their crimes. Some people are above the law. Two thumbs up for the book. Two thumbs down for the Clintons. How can they not be in jail? Is this the book that lead to Hillary's downfall? Anyone who reads this book and does not come away with the feeling that the Clintons have been taking the US for a ride, for a very long time, should pour another cup of coffee and read the book again. As has already been said, it is well-researched and the "coincidences" are beyond extraordinary. It should also be noted that the Clinton Foundation has been able to amass a bank balance never before experienced by a legitimate charity, in such a short time, without a major disaster or other such occurrence for which major funding would have been needed. This book should be required reading for every voter, before the upcoming election. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
In 2000, Bill and Hillary Clinton owed millions of dollars in legal debt. Since then, they've earned over $130 million. Where did the money come from? Most people assume that the Clintons amassed their wealth through lucrative book deals and high-six figure fees for speaking gigs. Now, Peter Schweizer shows who is really behind those enormous payments. No library descriptions found. |
