The Clintons Are The Political Mafia
- Author Peter Schweizer discussed the influence foreign donors wield in America through Bill and Hillary Clinton on Breitbart News Daily Wednesday morning.
- “Bill Clinton’s a slick, smart guy,” said SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon. “He looked out over the world and said, ‘Hey, you have all these billionaires, all these entrepreneurs, they can’t get into the U.S. government… and that’s what Clinton set up the Global Initiative, and the Clinton Foundation, really to get access to that capital market.”
- “If you think about it, the Clintons are like lots of other politicians. They love money,” Schweizer agreed.
- Schweizer argues that if the Clintons are stopped and investigated, then this will become commonplae among all politicians.
- “The Clintons function as kind of a political Mafia,” he said, recalling how reporters from major mainstream media outlets told him the consequences of writing a harsh story about the Bushes usually boiled down to “a terse email”.
Peter Schweizer, author of Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich, discussed the influence foreign donors wield in America through Bill and Hillary Clinton on Breitbart News Daily Wednesday morning.
SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon offered a backhanded salute to the Clintons for tapping into the new breed of wealthy foreign entrepreneurs early on.
“Bill Clinton’s a slick, smart guy,” said Bannon. “He looked out over the world and said, ‘Hey, you have all these billionaires, all these entrepreneurs, and they’re not clubbable… they really can’t get into the U.S. government, and they can’t get relationships because they’re just not the kind of guys that went to Oxford or Cambridge. They’re not the Party of Davos types… there’s a whole system of international entrepreneurs that have gotten their wealth in various and sundry ways — some appropriate, and some a little less so — and that’s what Clinton set up the Global Initiative, and the Clinton Foundation, really to get access to that capital market.”

“If you think about it, the Clintons are like lots of other politicians. They love money,” Schweizer agreed. “They love taking peoples’ money, and I would say with the Clintons, you kind of have it on steroids.”
“But you have this pesky problem in the United States: you can’t take foreign money for a presidential campaign,” he continued. “It’s against the law. You can’t be a foreign corporation and set up a Super PAC for a campaign… You’ve got these rules in the United States that say foreign entities can’t give. So the Clintons say, ‘Hey, we’ve just got to figure out a way around that.’”
A key part of the Clinton system is the infamous speeches given by Bill and Hillary to foreign interests and corporations seeking favor with the U.S. government, raking in fantastically inflated speaking fees.
“It’s a way, effectively, to get around those campaign laws,” Schweizer explained. “Hillary Clinton running for President in 2008, if you’re a foreign oligarch, you can’t give to her campaign, but you can have Bill Clinton give a 20-minute speech for half a million dollars, or you can make a $5 million donation to the Clinton Foundation, and you’ve got access every bit as much as if you had raised money for their political campaign. That’s really what the Clintons have done.”
Schweizer warned that if the Clinton’s tactics for harvesting foreign cash were not dealt with, they will become commonplace. “You’re gonna have politicians in the future imitating them, setting up their own foundations,” he predicted.
Bannon noted the enormous success of Clinton Cash was due, in part, to Democrats embracing Schweizer’s book, driving up Clinton’s negatives on honesty, and reinforcing the disdain voters feel for her as part of a corrupt transnational machine.
“Everything Democrats love — whether it’s global warming, whether it’s the rainforest, whether it’s environmental initiatives, it’s nuclear proliferation, it’s arms trading, it’s human trafficking — you can go across the board, and you see the punch list of the do-good Left… the Clintons literally monetized the bad guys,” said Bannon.
Schweizer noted there was a significant gulf between the reaction of Democrat voters to the Clinton scandals and the way Democrat politicians running against Clinton handle those issues very gingerly, including Sanders. He found a clear contrast between the delicate Democrat primary and the rambunctious Republican race, using the fate of the Bush dynasty in 2016 as an example.
“We saw what happened on the Republican side. There was not fear, there was not intimidation. For all the criticisms that people have leveled against the Bushes, the fact of the matter is, there has been a free-for-all open primary,” said Schweizer. “Flip that and look at the Democratic side. If you are Bernie Sanders, or you are a Bernie Sanders ally, if you aggressively go after Hillary Clinton, you are going to face retaliation in multiple ways. You’re gonna get retaliation when trying to get something done on Capitol Hill — it’s not gonna happen because Clinton allies are going to shut you down. If you are an organization, they’re going to sap up your donors.”
“The Clintons function as kind of a political Mafia,” he said, recalling how reporters from major mainstream media outlets told him the consequences of writing a harsh story about the Bushes usually boiled down to “a terse email” complaining about unfair reporting, while reporters who write stories critical of the Clintons are liable to find teams of Clinton political operatives storming into the editor’s office and demanding they be fired.
Schweizer said one of the great lingering questions of the 2016 race was whether Republicans would raise these issues during the general election, unlike the way Clinton’s Democratic opponents have given her a pass. He worried there were already consultants whispering in Republican ears, telling them to ignore Clinton corruption and keep the race focused on issues like tax policy.
That would be a mistake because as Schweizer observed, “When people elect a President, they are electing a person. The character and the trustworthiness of that person is key.”
“Over fifty percent of Democrats will say that Hillary Clinton does not tell the truth, and they don’t trust her,” he pointed out, adding that Hillary was involved in a deep partnership with someone else American voters have very good reason to distrust: former President Bill Clinton, whose speaking fees “tripled overnight” after his wife became Secretary of State… giving the American people a taste of what will happen if the Clintons are allowed to move back into the White House.

Clinton crime family needs to be taken down. How many people can emasse a personal fortune of$200 million dollars by being a government worker?
Hillary has always accepted Bill’s infidelities because he was her ticket to political success. Like the mafia, its all about the family and political power. The stories from the secret service agents in the white house detail clearly what kind of two faced witch she is. She is evil, and can’t be allowed back in the whitehouse!!!
Observation
They go their nefarious and deadly start in Arkansas, and it’s carried on. Nothing is beyond them!
They will do anything for power!
Their chronic habitual liars. They are extremely corrupt as is the Democratic party.
She should of been in jail a long time ago. What happened to Vincent Foster, really!
Google “Clinton Crimes List”, When I read the details of the death of Vince Foster I realized there was something not right about his death. No one would shoot themselves with their “Thumb” on the trigger and the recoil from the shot would have thrown the gun from his hand.
It just comes from watching them get away with so many dirty underhanded dealings and the snobby way they carry themselves. They both should be in jail.
The only things the Clintons focus is on vast wealth & power by any means from foreign sources regardless of consequences in exchange for their caustic influence. And they openly brag about it instead of being ashamed!
The Clinton Mafia should be given an offer that they can’t refuse.
Everyone knows that the witch owes foreign dictators many favors stemming from their ” donations ” to the clinton’s phony foundation. The clintons have been very dirty for over 30 years but apparently untouchable from prosecution.
When they left the WH, they illegally took boxes of FBI files, As SoS, she had access to everyone’s personal business, so I’m sure they’ve updated the files. Nobody is going to rock the boat. The slum MSM blew up a fight that DR. Carson had as a little kid. They acted like it was a big secret. He discussed it in his book. So, since I would guess our hallowed elected officers are perfectly pure of all sin, they ‘ain’t gonna say one word’. Too many Vince Fosters.
I definitely agree, but the stupidity of the
American public will once again prove to
be too much to overcome to make a difference.
Too many people believe the false promises
that spew from Hillary’s mouth, and there
are too many people in this country that
want the free ride she promises.
And too many precincts have contracts with Soros’ various voting machine companies. A little tweak here, a little tweak there, and voila! His candidate killery wins.
The Clintons are GREEDY, CORRUPT, WITH NO INTEGRITY AND ONLY THINK OF THEMSELVES. NARCISSISTS!
The evidence coming out of the numerous investigations clearly shows a pattern of pay for play influence peddling extending to TREASON and potentully even murder!!! Then their is the money laundering of the CLinton Foundation!!!
Just look at their actions!
they are as corrupt as a three dollar bill and have always bought their troubles away. They both should be in prison.
They’ve broken many laws and have many bodies attached, just like Capone, etc.
This has been going on far to long! It has to be stopped.
The women is a criminal With her past and his past no one needs to have her even run for office ! Its a sad day if she gets in the office it wil ltell the world America is payed for by forgone money ! Nail the furnisher down in the we the peoples house ! Cuff her due not award her !
They are both rotten to the core, any one that would vote for her is a dam fool.
Follow the money.
The Clinton’s have broken every law in the books and have gotten away with it every time., Obviously that illegal foreign money has served them and their attorneys well!
.
For starters both or murderers, thieves , committed treason against the United States, lied to Congress, cheated during elections and they have NEVER been charged with a crime….
I could keep going but I’m sick of both of them.
WHAT ABOUT THE BUSH’S? AFTER WHAT THAT “LYING, COWARD” DID TO ALL OF THE AMERICAN SOLDIERS IN IRAQ? BUSH HAS THE NERVE TO GO TO A “FUNDRAISING” DINNER FOR DISABLED VETS TO SPEAK & HAS THE NERVE TO CHARGE THEM $250,000 TO SPEAK, $20,000 FOR A PLANE & $10,000 FOR EXPENSES. THESE VETS WERE TRYING TO RAISE MONEY(MOST DISABLED FROM IRAQ WAR) & THAT SCUMBAG AFTER “LYING” & SENDING THEM INTO HARMS WAY FOR HIS OWN AGENDA, THE COWARDLY “THIEF” CHARGES FOR A FUNDRAISER THAT PROBABLY PUT THEM IN THE RED! BUSH IS A REAL STAND UP GUY & PISS ROLLS UPHILL! HIS WIFE CHARGES A MINIMUM OF $250,000 WHEN SHE SPEAKS. SO DON’T CALL THE KETTLE BLACK! WHAT’S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE, IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER. PLUS THE BUSH FAMILY MAKES PROFITS OFF AMERICANS FROM THE OIL THAT THEY SELL TO AMERICA WITH THE SAUDI’S! THE CLINTON’S ARE GOOD PEOPLE WHO HAVE CLEAN HANDS,THAT CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT! NOT LIKE THE BUSH’S & A MAJORITY OF THE PHONY, RACIST REPUBLICANS IN OFFICE! ALL REPUBLICANS ARE HYPOCRITES
I understand that Kill-ary is “The Godfather” of this mafia. Bill, he be the spinless doppleganger of Freddie Corleone. Heh!
If they had integrity, they both would have resigned their respective offices. Bill should have resigned the presidency and Hillary any and all public service. Their combined suspected crimes of murder, lying and deceit as well as financial fraud are enough to make any real American citizen sick. If the media did as much digging into the Clinton’s background and reported honestly. The Clinton’s would already be in prison. I will not bow to the communist/muslims who are presently leading this country and the main stream media. This country was established on Christian values, it was made great by these values and it only becomes weaker since we took prayer out of schools and teach untrue history.
They dominate via their own personalized brand of terrorism.
they think they are entitled to it.
This has ben their reputation from Day 1
Not enough space here for all the things this crooked family has done to our country. Morality, honesty and trust are words their mothers and fathers never taught them and they certainly haven’t taught their daughter.
I would like someone to explain to me how they sleep at night and how the people that vote for them can look at themselves in the mirror in the mourning. OH! does any of their followers /liberal fanatics care for the Socialist, Progressive, Communistic, European style country we are rapidly becoming. What ever has happened to the God fearing, Patriotic, shining star called The United States of America.
PS. Please for your sake as well as your neighbors, grow-up, wake-up and ask God to save us all. Yes, ask God, the one you beg to be with you when it is time to met your maker.
All politicians and Doctors,lawyers and most otherJackels on Earth are self serving vampires. Why single the clintons out?
Look at there history , very thing they do has some taint, it, only only I for them.
She will lie when the truth would be better.
They have long line of dead bodies behind them.
She was a party to his assault on the young women. Put him back in . NADA.
She is no good . She is worse than Bill.
Foreign Money Should NEVER Be Accepted By ANYONE In The USA!!! This Is Traitorous And Detrimental To The American People!!
They are taking money from foreign Countries and are allowed to get away with it just like all the murders while they have been in politics. Hillary is responsible for 4 Americans being killed in Benghazi and more.
Clinton do what ever they want and no one stops them . Benghazi is one example of Mrs. Clinton killed people and nothing is done about it. She acts like she for woman ‘s rights but, takes money from the middle east where they stone woman , beat woman . How about White water.
jee doesn’t campaine money from china count
OUR RIGHTS OUR FREEDOMDS OUR RIGHT TO BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST
OUR RIGHTS OUR FREEDOMDS OUR RIGHT TO BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST
They think hey are above the law. Everything about them is a scandal, fraudulent liars, . dishonest, unamerican. unlikeable people
Ann
they’re not for the American people.,
They committed
treason by failing to do their jobs
The Clintons are running a scam. Any foundation funding 15% of funds to charity and receiving tax shelters should be audited and lose their tax exempt status. Also conflict of interest with Sec. of State job and speaking fees also taking money from human rights abusing Muslim countries. She speaks of gay and womens rights and takes money from Arab abusing countries!?!
