MEDIA LARGELY IGNORES CURRENT CLINTON SCANDAL
by Truth_and_Reason

----In answer to those who say the media is unfair to Hillary, read about the following current scandal that has been largely ignored by the media.

----As the NYTime article of 1/31/08 “After Mining Deal, Financier Donated to Clinton” shows, Bill visited Kazakhstan and, against the wishes of our state department, praised its dictator and flattered its bureaucrats in charge of mining rights. This was done to get uranium contracts worth billions of dollars for a shady Canadian businessman, Frank Giustra. Giustra has returned the favor by given $131 million dollars to foundations controlled by Bill, a private money pot for Bill, from which he can pay himself huge salaries and finance lavish offices, staff, travel, entertainment, and parties.

-----If our media was fair this should have been a major, repeat major, story -- a former U.S. president and possible first-husband has made $100+ million dollars by praising a dictator against the wishes of our state department and many human rights activists.

-----So as long as Hillary continues to let Bill commit such financial sleaze – Bill is a proper issue.

-----Furthermore, if Obama is being smeared for the mere words of his pastor, it is totally fair to attack Hillary for not only the words, but the serious crimes, of someone much closer to her, her husband, particularly since she took part in many of those crimes.
