The substantial fortune the Clinton’s have accumulated since they left the White House is largely foreign in origin. So says Peter Schweizer, author of “Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich.”
“Corruption is not a Democrat problem, it’s not a Republican problem, it’s a human problem. The reason I think the Clintons are unique or on rarefied ground is that the amount of money that they have accumulated is unprecedented in American political history and the fact that really, for the first time ever, we have political figures making decisions on a national level whose wealth in large quantities comes from foreign sources; from foreign governments, foreign businesses as opposed to what we traditionally look at in the United States, Wall Street and big labor, et cetera.”
Schweizer says the Clintons are entwined in the world of Wall Street finance.
“One of the things that interesting about the Clintons is the extent to which they are widely connected to Wall Street and particularly to private hedge funds … If you look at fundraising, there’s a report out in the Wall Street Journal, I believe today, where hedge fund managers have sent $49 million to the Clinton campaign, they’ve given about $19,000 to the Trump campaign. Chelsea Clinton’s first job out of college was working for a hedge fund. This is part and parcel of the Clinton’s identity and for the life of me I don’t understand how Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren think that Hillary Clinton as president would be the one to take on private finance.”
Schwiezer was a guest on 790 KABC’s McIntyre in the Morning Show with Doug McIntyre and Terri-Rae Elmer.
