Clinton Cash audiobook

This is a nauseating exposé of the ethical enormities perpetrated by the Clintons via the Clinton Foundation... but more importantly, it is an X-ray of the hypocrisy that serves as a platform for the so-called US liberal leadership. And these are supposed to be the good guys. According to this thoroughly researched book, the Clinton Foundation is a colonial enterprise that operates almost exclusively at the fringes of the developed world. It takes advantage of the social, fiscal, and political shortcomings of developing countries to land multimillion dollar deals that benefit Bill and Hillary's friends (having previously made generous donations to the Clinton Foundation), and that are utterly detrimental to the democratic advancement of the countries where they take place. And all this under the cover of a narrative rife with humanitarian motifs and liberal goobedlygook.As a citizen of a developing country, I've always known that first world riches are predicated on the subjugation of third world economies. That is the nature of the beast. War and conquest are not the techniques used to accomplish this anymore, of course. The new way is more of a nuanced, long con; the results are the same. The Clintons are a very successful pair of grifters that have perfected a synchronized scam using the US government as leverage.Given what this book denounces, combined with what we already know of this couple (Whitewater, cattle futures, the Lincoln Bedroom rentals, Benghazi, etc.), the fact that they are not even under investigation is beyond me.

I read this page-turner in a very short time. It's well-researched and footnoted so Clinton coincidence-theorists are bound to spend a huge amount of time and effort denouncing it. Partisan politics aside, when will the American people decide enough is enough of the draft-dodging philanderer, his wife and their sham marriage? Bravo to Mr Schweizer on an outstanding piece of investigative journalism.

In a perfect world, this should be required reading for all voters. To the disappointment of Clinton sycophants, the author is not some biased conservative hack. Peter Schweizer is an experienced. dogged investigative journalist who has done the country an important service to expose the questionable activities the Clintons have taken to enrich themselves in the past 14 years.The book has over 50 pages of small print endnotes. The New York Times was unable to dispute Schweizer's claims.In chapter after chapter Schweizer reveals one sleazy business deal after the other. The common pattern is someone donates money to the Clinton Foundation, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton makes a decision that benefits the contributor, the contributor invites Bill to come give a speech paying him upwards of $500,000. Many of the revelations are only known because of sources like Wikileaks. The Clintons had no plans to make their wheeling and dealing known to the public.Most politicians would be forced out of office for taking actions the Clintons have taken on a regular basis. The mainstream media seems to turn the other way and not demand that Hillary answer for her questionable actions.The chapter on Haiti is especially disturbing. After the big earthquake, Hillary arranged for the State Department to handle the distribution of aid. Then instead of hiring relief specialists she turned over the management of the funds to the Clinton Foundation. Schweizer tells example after example of funds being used to enrich Clinton cronies (including Hillary's brother) who had little if any relief effort expertise. Millions were diverted from the needed poor to line the pockets of Clinton friends.The Clintons have no position that can't be changed if you pay them enough money. The Clintons were anti nuclear proliferation until pro-Indian agents donated big money to the Clintons. The Clintons flipped their position and Hillary green lighted an expansion in the Indian nuclear program. Similar actions happened in Africa and Columbia.The number of criminals who have donated to the Clintons would fill a book of mugshots. Most politicians with any morals would avoid interacting with businessmen of questionable character. Doesn't seem to bother the Clintons, as long as they bring money.Perhaps the scariest part of this story is that because of the secretive nature of the Clintons, there are probably many other examples of questionable behavior that will never be known. No wonder Hillary destroyed her email server.

** spoiler alert ** Schweizer researches and lays out data on payment to the Clinton Foundation from non-US citizens/companies for Bill's speeches, and subsequent changes in Hillary's policy positions as head of the State Department. Readers are left to draw their own conclusions.Either this kind of follow-the-money investigation interests you, or it doesn't. Well-researched. The last third of the book is end-notes.Schweizer's research has been cited by the New York Times, the Washington Post, Time, and other established media on both the left and the right. His previous work was on Congressional insider trading on both sides of the aisle.

Its very difficult to critique this book without slamming the Clintons at the same time,but I will try Mr Schweitzer took all the pieces of the Clinton Foundations and put it all together so the reader could decided for themselves and answer the question: "Are the Clintons breaking the law?" I think he was as thorough as he could be. The book itself is very short and does NOT encompass the entire Clinton scandals, to do that you would need a book the size of a dictionary. He did make his point though,choosing the timeline of Bill's presidency to the timeline of Hillary's Sec of State position. I recommend this book to EVERY AMERICAN 18 AND OVER! If you vote, read this before the 2016 election.

This book is a quick read, but a powerful dissection of Bill and Hillary Clinton's techniques for using their private foundation and their public positions as former President and a sitting Secretary of State, respectively.I was fortunate to receive an advance copy in manuscript form. The book was surprisingly readable, sweeps from Russia and Kazakhstan to South America and the Caribbean in tracing the trail of money, sometimes donated in huge sums to the Clinton Foundation, or thrown at Bill Clinton for six-figure private speaking fees, by corporate interests with business before the State Department. It's everything you fear goes on in the high-stakes world of international investing and political influence-peddling. The sale of Uranium One to a Russian government-tied firm is only the first story. The money flows from the Middle East, Canada, India and the Far East. The speeches become more and more lucrative, and the donations to the Clinton's family foundation larger still. The book lays out a compelling case for further investigating these "coincidences." It is careful not to presume too much, and as you hear the reactions in the political world to Peter Schweizer's charges, you understand that these are very careful, crafty people who know how to hide what must stay hidden. As your mind turns over how these various deals must have gone down, you find it easier to understand WHY Hillary Clinton was so insistent on maintaining her email on a private server. You find it more and more frustrating to see that the government bureaucracy at the State Department exercised no oversight of her foundation's activities, even though they were specifically supposed to. You shake your head at the cronyism, nepotism and old-boy network shenanigans that jump off the pages.Peter Schweizer and his research organization have done America a great service in exposing this, as they did in exposing congressional insider stock trading previously.

Is this why Hillary erased her emails?Although Schweizer carefully avoids accusing the Clintons of illegal activity, he makes a strong case for conflicts of interest and unethical behavior. The Clinton's going from being "flat broke" to having over $100 million raises some questions as well as Bill receiving up to $700,000 for giving a speech while Hillary was Secretary of State. Bill's relationships with brutal dictators and other unsavory characters and the Clinton foundation receiving hundreds of millions of dollars while Hillary was Secretary of State raises further issues. I wonder if this is why Hillary has disappeared since announcing her candidacy for President. I certainly hope the media will follow up on these issues as the election nears.

First of all, I was never going to vote for Hillary Clinton should the opportunity arise. I've read too much and know too much about her as a person to do that. In that sense, this book, changes nothing for me.Secondly, the venality outlined in this book is nothing exceptional from a world view. The Clintons have nothing on the kleptocracies. Of course, it is interesting that much of their wealth comes directly from these kleptocracies, but that misses my point. The point is, while this level of bribery might unusual in the United States, bribery itself is not uncommon. Nearly our entire congress is bought and paid for. In that sense, I'm a little lenient toward the Clintons.This book is important because it promulgates a strategy that a tandem can use to enrich themselves while selling US public interest, especially in foreign and business affairs. One person does all the collecting while the other one in power uses influence and decision making in a quid pro quo.The author apparently decided to alter a few sentences in this book due to sloppiness. Conversely, many of the allegations in the book have long ago been confirmed and even admitted to by the Clinton Foundation.There is simply too much in this book to simply dismiss. If only one single allegation is correct, and I suspect almost all of it is correct, it's enough for all of us to step back and ask if this sort of self-serving is in the best interest of the American public. It's safe to conclude that it is not.Perhaps you'll draw a different conclusion. Recommended reading for anyone interested in politics or powerful US families, government corruption, and the sorts. FYI: For further reading on Hillary's non-public persona, I recommend Ronald Kessler's First Family Detail, and Elizabeth Warren's Two Income Trap.

It's a shame that the issues raised in this book have been ignored by the broader media and more importantly by the voters. I guess ethics is no longer a criteria of a presidential candidate.This is a well documented lesson in corruption at the highest levels and how money can change a politicians position on critical matters.Hillary was right, there is a double standard being applied. I'm sure there are some former Illinois governors that would agree with her on that account.

CLINTON CASH is an astonishing book and I'm only sorry I didn't read it before the 2016 Presidential election. Author Peter Schweizer documents well how the Clinton Founda-tion, particularly as headed by Bill Clinton while his wife Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, evolved into an enormous mixer of money and power. Bill habitually gave speeches for which he was paid half a million dollars or more. (Generally, the more private the event, the bigger the honorarium.) Bill and friends developed quite a talent for hooking up investors who were heavy donors to the Foundation, helping them arrange permission to operate (frequently, mine precious metals) in less regulated, more corrupt countries such as much of Central Africa and Central Asia. It is astonishing -- if not downright jaw-dropping -- how often Bill and Hillary wound up simultaneously in the same or contiguous developing countries halfway around the world. And while the Clinton Foundation has undoubtedly given to many worthy causes, and instigated not a few, it has also been known to fall flat in environments like post-hurricane Haiti which one would not expect to pose so many challenges. Author Peter Schweizer has been criticized, but misstatements of fact seem to have been ironed out before this paperback edition was published in 2016. Otherwise the criticism seems to hinge on the fact that he has an association with Breitbart publishing, which is no more useful than saying, "So's your old man." (I am very aware that in this era, both left and right hurl brickbats at their ideological opponents with great force if not great accuracy, but my purpose in reviewing this book is not to deal with the malfeasance of the American right.) CLINTON CASH is a book that very much needs to be read. If you don't cringe a little upon hearing the term "public-private partnership," you will after reading this book. I consider it essential to an understanding of how money and power collude in the 21st Century. Now, what can be done in the way of reform, I confess I don't know. But when people who profess a desire to do good wind up doing astonishingly well for themselves and their generous friends, we all need to take notice and not stop asking questions.

Peter Schweizer certainly fits the definition of a muckraker; a reformed-minded journalist whose investigations dip into crooked politicians, unpleasant social issues, and ill-gotten money. He even heads up an organization that specializes in exposing such malfeasance. And, although muckraker is an ugly word, it’s not necessarily an offensive moniker. “Clinton Cash” is a bomb-tossing look at a couple of public figures who have long been targets of such investigations. Bill and Hillary Clinton; the two names stir up a brouhaha of sentiment that is either highly derogatory or prompts breathless admiration. Schweizer’s book, as has been widely reported, is not complimentary but relies on solid information coupled with tireless research. I’m sure he wears his title with head held high.In a complicated, well-grounded expose, the author delves into the seamy world of politics, bribery, greed, and favoritism. The Clintons, if one believes what is written, are stars of a world where backs are scratched, huge amounts of money change hands in questionable deals, and powerful people ride the backs of those with immense influence.One of the questions that Schweizer asks repeatedly in his book is why do the Clintons get involved with so many people of ill repute? He answers it with illustrations of the vast amounts on money the couple have accumulated through the years, particularly when Hillary was Secretary of State and could exert tremendous influence on worldwide decisions. Bill has been paid millions of dollars to give speeches, mostly complementary, of scabby world leaders and corrupt public works processes, and has received huge donations to the family foundation along with immense speaking fees. Shortly thereafter, Hillary makes favorable decisions in her official capacity that garner lucrative returns to the cash cows that more than justifying the initial investment.There are some who claim the Clintons could care less about money and influence. The laughter that follows such declarations is loud and raucous. Their storybook rise from rags to riches, haunted along the way with shady deeds, is not one of innocence and purity.There has been tremendous research into the premise of the book, all duly noted in the book notes. The convoluted arrangements are mind-numbing but clearly laid out by the author. Of course the reader’s political persuasion will dictate the believability. It is both informative and stomach turning

The Clintons. Either you are a fan or you're not so I don't believe this book will be enjoyed by all and most that look up to the Clintons will not take the time to read it. Those that are not a fan will for sure want to check it out. The contents of the book contains eleven chapters within about a hundred and fifty pages which is about 67% of the book while most of the rest of the book is "Notes" which explain more details of the info and where said info came from. It is full of facts of places, people and times and events which creates a image of what is a very ugly picture. One must wonder how the Clintons get away with even a small percent of what this book implies. It was a very fast read for me and if you are like me and believe the Clintons are the "best of the bad" and want to know how bad they are you're going to love this book.

Investigative journalist Peter Schweizer connects the dots in this audio book which will fascinate and irritate you at the same time. How did Bill and Hillary Clinton go from flat broke when they left the White House to a lucrative speaking career? The answer is inside these pages. I heard this book cover to cover in a short amount of time but found the book insightful and worth listening. Highly recommended.

Selling outAsk yourself how many private foundations have you heard of that have received multiple millions of dollars from unrelated business connections, foreign national, and how many have had board members investigated for corruption in their home countries? How many speakers get $500,000 and up for a speech? Answer: one and one, both named Clinton.Read this book.
