Peter Schweizer Drops Truth Bomb on Bill Clinton’s Memoir

Former President Bill Clinton has penned a new book, “Citizen: My Life After the White House.”

So, he is out there doing the media circuit, offering up his two cents on the election to get his name back out here.

Well, investigative author Peter Schweizer checked out that book and claims it is riddled with lies, as Bill tries to rewrite history.

Lies

Schweizer has an interest in the book because Bill Clinton spends considerable time blaming him for Hillary's 2016 loss to Donald Trump.

Bill cites Schweizer’s “Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich,” calling it “political propaganda designed to help elect far-right wolves in populist clothing.”

I have read a lot of Schweizer’s work, and rest assured, it is about as far from propaganda as one could be.

The man is diligent in his research, and I have yet to find a single exaggeration or mistruth in any of his work. In fact, I have used and will continue to use it for references in my own writing.

Schweizer shreds several claims by Bill in his book, but he really zeroes on Bill defending Hillary Clinton’s controversial uranium deal.

Schweizer responded, “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.”

Even with major left-leaning publications using his work for reference, such as The New York Times and Washington Post, Clinton maintains that Schweizer is a “right-wing propagandist.”

As Schweizer noted, “Clinton somehow hopes you’ll believe that the New York Times, The Washington Post, HuffPost, Bloomberg News, and many other left-leaning or mainstream outlets were operating as part of some vast right-wing conspiracy.”

He concludes that it seems like Bill is trying to set himself up to be a player in the Democrat Party again, which has distanced itself somewhat from the power couple due to the many controversies and scandals associated with their names.

Schweizer concludes, “Bill Clinton’s purpose in writing Citizen: My Life After the White House may have been to burnish the Clinton brand at a moment when Democrats 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.”

On that, I could not agree more.
