Republicans are all in a lather over an anti-Hillary book written by a former Sarah Palin consultant. Oh this should go well.

The book does not hit shelves until May 5, but already the Republican Rand Paul has called its findings “big news” that will “shock people” and make voters “question” the candidacy of Hillary Rodham Clinton. 

“Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich,” by Peter Schweizer — a 186-page investigation of donations made to the Clinton Foundation by foreign entities — is proving the most anticipated and feared book of a presidential cycle still in its infancy. 

The book, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times, asserts that foreign entities who made payments to the Clinton Foundation and to Mr. Clinton through high speaking fees received favors from Mrs. Clinton’s State Department in return. 

“We will see a pattern of financial transactions involving the Clintons that occurred contemporaneous with favorable U.S. policy decisions benefiting those providing the funds,” Mr. Schweizer writes.

As some of you may have heard Rand Paul is giggling like a school girl over the idea that some hidden secret is about to be revealed in this book that will destroy Hillary's candidacy.

And a whole lot of Right Wing news outlets, and a few considered legitimate, are all lining up to interview Schwiezer and get access to copies of the book before it hits the shelves.

However as Media Matters points out, in quite some detail, Schweizer is far from a reliable source known for accurate reporting.

And that is something that Rachel Maddow detailed on her show last night.

In my opinion all that has to be known about Schweizer to ignore anything he has written, is that for a couple of years he served as one of Sarah Palin's consultants.

And since we all know how well informed SHE was, it kind of stands to reason that Schweizer plays fast and loose with the facts.

The question we have to ask ourselves is knowing that the Clintons are savvy political animals, and knowing that Hillary has had her sights set on the presidency for probably decades now, do we REALLY think that there is any hard evidence that she auctioned off her influence to the highest bidder to donate to the Clinton Foundation?

No, I seriously doubt that there is.

And even if there were, do we think this stumble bum would be the one to uncover it?

Nah, in my opinion this is just one of a number of hit pieces that will come flying at Hillary. In the end we will file it away with Email-gate, Benghazi-gate, and whatever the conservatives pull out of their ass next-gate.
