Fox’s Chris Wallace confronts ‘Clinton Cash’ author: ‘You don’t have a single piece of evidence’

[kpete]

Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday pointed out to conservative author Peter Schweizer that his new book failed to connect the dots between speaking fees earned by former President Bill Clinton and policies supported by Hillary Clinton while she served as secretary of state.

........

“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.

1. Also, the White House vetted all of Bill Clinton's speeches while his wife was Secretary Of State.

Let me repeat that....The White House vetted all of Bill Clinton's speeches while his wife was Secretary Of State and the one time he was asked not to make a speech and take the money he didn't.

4. Maybe he was stirred by Obama's correspondents dinner slam on Fox. nt

5. We get the truth of the matter from Fox

but thread after thread on this democratic board declare that HRC should drop out because of this terrible "scandal."

My head just exploded.

6. Well I guess that settles it.

We'll never hear another word about this ever again.

7. So what

8. I was watching some show where the were discussing that book ...

They were talking about an instance where HRC was opposed to the permitting of a mine (or something?) when she was a Senator; but, approved it as SoS ... and Bill got a speaking gig.

Then, one of the talkers read the passage from the book ... I had to laugh when between the approval part and the Bill getting the speaking gig part, the talker literally lowered their voice, almost to a whisper, and said, that her change in opinion came after the Administration came out strongly for the permitting.

9. Chris Wallace sometimes surprises me

[Wellstone ruled]

10. Got a hunch the Fake Noise and the Ruppert are

staking out a position of safety just in case if Hillary is elected and there is a attempt to reinstate some type of Media Fairness Doctrine. With yesterdays Aledson Primary in Vegas,suddenly we have a plethora of anti Hillary stories,do you think the Media is working in Concert. Nay,not happening! Bullcrap!!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

11. America knows Republicans took us all to WAR on cherry picked intelligence....

Now they arrogantly act like trusting them is a given because they can talk over anyone in the room.

[Enthusiast]

16. My take too.

12. Amazing. I didn't think CW ever diverged from FOX's RW talking points. nt

[Jack Rabbit]

15. He does, though perhapss not as often as Shep Smith

Chris Wallace, unlike Hannity, knows what it is to be a journalist working for a real news outlet* and occasionally it shows.

* For those too young to remember, Wallace worked many years at NBC and even did stints as the weekend anchor. For those who are really too young to remember, NBC used to be a real news outlet.

13. And yet Andrea Mitchell quoted it like it was brought down the mountain by Moses

Mrs. Greenspan all but giggles these days with every Hillary rumor she can pass on during her "news" segment.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

17. And yet, if you ask around, you'll hear MSNBC is 100% "Librul".

[Agschmid]

14. Kick.

[malaise]

18. Evidence? Fox???

Are you fugging kidding me? When did Fox need evidence??

[0rganism]

19. Since when did Fox News care about "evidence"?

they've been running evidence-free for decades, why suddenly get into evidence-based reporting now? was there recently a half-off sale on journalism ethics?

[joeybee12]

20. We're through the looking glass...Chris Wallace has more integrity...

Than the New York Times

[realFedUp]

21. Wonder if Wallace is in shackles now?

We expect the worst lies from Faux news so this was refreshing.
The NY Times lost any credibility.

22. 'You're wrong Wallace!'

Screams Schweizer's Hillary hating DU pals.
