In his new memoir, titled “Citizen: My Life After the White House”, Bill Clinton attempts to keep the Clinton brand afloat amid a Democrat Party sinking ship.
Apparently, Bubba has spent much of his time as a “citizen” pissed off at Peter Schweizer.
Schweizer’s 2016 book “Clinton Cash” did massive damage to the Clinton brand by revealing the connection between the Clintons’ personal wealth, their “close personal friends,” the Clinton Foundation, foreign nations, and some of the highest ranks of government.
In the new book, Clinton spends at least 1,500 words spread across four chapters griping about “Clinton Cash” and accusing Schweizer of engineering his wife’s 2016 defeat.
In a Dec. 19 op-ed for Breitbart, Schweizer notes: “I began my Clinton Cash investigation in 2013 while Hillary Clinton was still secretary of state—long before she and Donald Trump announced their candidacies. What drew me to the subject was the Clintons’ own financial disclosures (thank you, Bill!) which revealed that torrents of cash ebbed and flowed with the Clintons’ political power.”
Much of the former president’s focus on “Clinton Cash” reagards the Russian takeover of strategically vital American uranium assets.
“The sale of American uranium to adversarial Russia was alarming enough; what made it scandalous was the fact that several Clinton cronies and megadonors were enriched by the deal. Such a strategically risky transaction required approval by Hillary’s State Department – which was granted,” Schweizer notes.
“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.
“To counter the narrative that the Clintons had compromised American security in the uranium deal, the campaign designed a dirty tricks effort that evolved into the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, which dogged Trump’s first presidential term.”
Clinton’s new tome, Schweizer said, “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.”
