“The activities of Mr. Rodham, Mrs. Clinton’s brother, are frequently mentioned on the shows. Last year a book, Clinton Cash by Peter Schweizer, revealed that in 2013, Mr. Rodham was added to the advisory board of a company that owns a gold mine in Haiti.”
“Peter Schweizer’s Clinton Cash for not only hurting Hillary Clinton’s poll numbers but also for helping “frame and renew the distrust of the Clintons as money predators and remains indirectly in the back of the mind of many voters.” Sternberg also warns that the book’s impact is not done: “Expect to see the book back in the news soon,” he says.

“Stephanopoulos failed to disclose that he was a benefactor of said foundation. But even if he had, that would hardly have eliminated the problem. The issue is the donations themselves.”
“If Brian Williams gets a six-month sentence for misrepresenting his reporting role over and over, George Stephanopoulos deserves nothing less for masquerading as an objective journalist asking ostensibly tough questions.”
“…his blatantly adversarial questioning of “Clinton Cash” author Peter Schweizer shows once again that Stephanopoulos can’t even fake objectivity when it comes to Bill and Hillary.”

The Washington Post expands research on some of the cozy relationships in Clinton Cash
“SIMON: These connections were first unearthed, to my knowledge, by Peter Schweizer, who wrote the book that’s coming out next week, “Clinton Cash.” The New York Times has been advancing the story.
