The past week can’t have been very pleasant for Peter Schweizer. On Sunday, the New York Times revealed that his forthcoming book, Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich, was roiling the political world—“the most anticipated and feared book of a presidential cycle still in its infancy,” as the Times put it.

That landed Schweizer squarely in the crosshairs of the Clinton team and allied liberal groups, which have launched a campaign to discredit Schweizer as “disreputable” and blinded by partisan animosity. Anyone familiar with Schweizer’s work knows better: he wrote a well-regarded book about the Bush dynasty and another, detailing insider trading in Congress, that led to a new law, the bipartisan STOCK Act of 2012, which aims to curb these abuses.

That hasn’t quieted the left-wing clamor that Schweizer is simply out to get Hillary Clinton. But maybe this will: Schweizer is working on a similar investigation of Jeb Bush’s finances that he expects to publish this summer.

“What we’re doing is a drill-down investigation of Jeb’s finances similar to what we did with the Clintons in terms of looking at financial dealings, cronyism, who he’s been involved with,” Schweizer told me on Wednesday. “We’ve found some interesting things.”

Schweizer says he and a team of researchers have been poring over Bush’s financial life for about four months. Among other things, they’re scrutinizing various Florida land deals, an airport deal while Bush was governor that involved state funds, and Chinese investors in Bush’s private equity funds (something I wrote about for Bloomberg last year).

As he did with the Clinton book, Schweizer is hoping to partner with media organizations interested in reporting on and advancing his examination of Bush’s finances—an arrangement Schweizer feels has been mischaracterized in the media. “With the Clinton book, we didn’t just give it to reporters with the expectation that they would report on the book,” he says. “We shared it early on with investigative reporters at ABC, the New York Times, and the Washington Post because we wanted that additional scrutiny [of the book’s subjects]. And we want similar scrutiny for this project.”

Schweizer also wanted to rebut the implication that he may have been paid by news organizations for an early look at the book. “There was absolutely no money that changed hands,” he says. “It’s ridiculous to suggest so. “

On May 5, Clinton Cash will finally hit bookstore shelves and people will be able to form their own judgments. By then, Schweizer will no doubt be very busy, fending off attacks not just from Clintonites, but from Bushies, too.

Really O'Reilly? You are going to give her the 'victimhood', so you can share it?

Fox News host Bill O'Reilly had a balancing act to perform on Thursday night: backing a new book that attacks Hillary Clinton's foreign connections while denouncing "political hit jobs" on public figures, such as himself.

"The Clintons are to be given the presumption of innocence," O'Reilly said of the allegations of corruption in Peter Schweizer's new book, "Clinton Cash."

"As one who has been dishonestly smeared, I loathe political hit jobs," he said. "But there are major questions here, and they must, must be answered.”

Oh, he did get in a dig. How Slick. But, maybe he's setting the stage so He and Hillz, and JEB too can claim victimhood when the dirt hits the fan?
 

“It’s not just the State Department,” Wallace explained. “It’s nine separate agencies… There is no hard evidence — and you don’t cite any in the book — that Hillary Clinton took direct action, was involved in any way in approving, as one nine agencies, the sale of the company.”

Schweizer argued that “any one of those agencies had veto power so she could have stopped the deal.”

“You don’t have a single piece of evidence that she was involved in this deal, that she sent a memo to the State Department person that was on this committee and said, ‘Hey, we want to approve the uranium sale,'” Wallace pressed.

Swift Boating Time in Washington!:)

What Fox is doing is setting up doubt so when the Bush book comes out they can claim the high ground, thus deflecting people from the obvious truths of the Bush family shenanigans over the decades.

After all, if the guy "lied" about Clinton he obviously "lied" about Bush.

I have wonder how many bottles of Tums the Fox executives had to take when they realized they had to defend Clinton to protect their own.

And I wonder where the hard proof is. Allegations, innuendos and speculation, that's the entirety of what he's used. Not a shred or whiff of hard proof. As JL said, swiftboating for sure. Show me some actual proof and I'll be at the head of the line yelling for her to be held accountable.
