Earlier today I put blogged about John Hinderaker\’s mega-takedown of Hillary Clinton\’s lies concerning how 20% of our uranium wound up being controlled by Russians while she was Secretary of State.
Peter Schweizer, the author of “Clinton Cash”, whom Hillary Clinton lied about and John Hinderaker caught in the lie, has written his own piece on this. Here are a few salient excerpts:
Grave incompetence or brazen dishonesty?
Those are the only two conclusions one can reasonably come to after reviewing Hillary Clinton\’s stunning Sunday interview on local New Hampshire TV.
When WMUR local TV host Josh McElveen asked Clinton why her State Department greenlit the transfer of 20 percent of all US uranium to the Russian government, Clinton claimed she had no involvement in her own State Department\’s decision to approve the sale of Uranium One to Russia.
“I was not personally involved because that wasn\’t something the secretary of state did,” said Clinton.
The transfer of 20 percent of US uranium – the stuff used to build nuclear weapons – to Vladimir Putin did not rise to the level of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton\’s time and attention?
First, nine investors who profited from the uranium deal collectively donated $145 million to Hillary\’s family foundation, including Clinton Foundation mega-donor and Canadian mining billionaire Frank Giustra, who pledged $100 million.
But Hillary expects Americans to believe she had no knowledge that a man who made a nine-figure donation to her foundation was deeply involved in the deal? Nor eight other mining executives, all of whom also donated to her foundation?
And as for her comment that the timing of the uranium investors\’ donations “doesn\’t work” as a damning revelation: In fact, the timing works perfectly.
Does she honestly expect Americans to believe she was simply unaware that the deal was even under consideration in her own State Department?
Perhaps a review of her emails would settle the accuracy of her Sunday claim. But, of course, she erased her emails and wiped clean the secret server housed in her Chappaqua home.
Hillary Clinton is an incompetent, with no accomplishments to show for decades in the public eye – other than a propensity for telling lies which can easily be debunked.
God help us if she gets anywhere near the Oval Office — which, with cautious optimism, I point out is getting less likely as the days go on, because she is as incompetent at lying as she is at just about everything else.
