Schweizer on Decline in Clinton Fdn Fundraising: With Nothing to Sell, People Are Not Going to Give Money
Monday on Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Breitbart News senior editor-at-large 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 Clinton Foundation’s refusal to return money embattled Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein had donated.
He also commented on lower fundraising numbers for the Clinton non-profits, which he attributed to former President Bill Clinton and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton being out of power and having nothing to offer.
“[T]hey have two arms of this — the Clinton Foundation and then, of course, the Clinton Global Initiative, CGI,” he explained. “CGI shut down after the 2016 election. It no longer exists. And that was really the central marketplace for influence peddling. Clinton Foundation has tried to position itself in a different way. They tried to amass an endowment over the last couple of years, so they probably got $150 million parked away. So, they can certainly give this money to someone else. They have it.”
“But the long-term and medium-term prospects are not good. They don’t have access to sell, as that same Chelsea Clinton review pointed out, that internal review. A lot of the high-dollar donors were expecting quid pro quos. And if you don’t have anything to sell, people are not going to give money to your organization. And that is precisely the problem the Clintons are running into.”

"But what the Clintons do is criminal because they do it wholly at
the expense of the American people. And they feel thoroughly
entitled to do it: gain power, use it to enrich themselves and their
friends. They are amoral, immoral, and venal. Hillary has no core
beliefs beyond power and money. That should be clear to every
person on the planet by now." ---- Patricia McCarthy -

Hillary & Harvey: Birds of a feather...
Harvey Weinstein has been exposed in the media as the sexual predator he is, and Hillary Clinton has been exposed as the craven money-grubber she is; money over morality is the mantra she lives by.
These people, the D.C. and Hollywood elite, live by different rules, rules under which faith, hope, and love have no place, no place at all. They are about two things and two things only: power and money.
And the two species feed off each other. The entertainment industry wants and craves the deference of Democrat elites. The D.C. Democrat establishment relies on the financial magnanimity of the film and television crowd, from the studio heads to the actors. That is a lot of people with a lot of money, all of whom have an inflated view of their own importance on the world stage. None of these folks ever gives a thought to the hopes, dreams, or concerns of citizens who live between the coasts or exist outside their own privileged bubbles. They are a bother. If they voted for Trump, they are worthy only of contempt.
Harvey Weinstein allegedly has been a sexual predator for decades – at least thirty women have come forward now – while joined at the hip with the Clintons and the Obamas. These are the poster children for how this particular symbiosis functions. Not one of them ever gave a thought to the morality of how they operate. Weinstein's contract allowed for his molestations as long as he paid settlements with his own money. Who agrees to that?
These leftists "own" all of the mainstream media outlets. They can get any unflattering story squashed with a bribe. They avoid criminal charges the same way. The laws do not apply to them the way they do to the rest of us.
Consider the many, many crimes of the Clintons over their years on the public stage, from Whitewater to Travelgate, to name only a few, to Bill's sexual predations to the well documented financial corruption of the Clinton Foundation that was so fantastically enriched by Hillary's pay-to-play term as secretary of state. These people belong in prison for their crimes, as does Weinstein. He should have been prosecuted and convicted twenty years ago for his countless crimes against women. But his pals in high places and big checks kept him out of jail, just as the Clintons have escaped punishment for their thirty-year record of greed and malfeasance.
The real tragedy is that the left still reveres Bill and Hillary. They revered Weinstein until a week ago, when what they have all known for years became public. Now they are stepping over each other to condemn him – all these same film people who have championed Roman Polanski for years! Give us a break.
Harvey and Hillary are essentially clones of one another; neither has a conscience, a code of ethics, or any sense of morality. And yet they feel free to lecture the rest of us constantly. Hillary's book tour is an embarrassment of monumental proportions as she day after day blames others for her electoral loss. The progressive left's late-night comics, their news outlets (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WaPo), their films, their television series actively promote their lack of values, their contempt for anything traditionally American. The rare exceptions to their poisonous output will be panned and mocked by the critics who work for their publications. The worst of their product is celebrated as "art."
There is a line at the end of the film Scent of a Woman, a rare contribution to the good, indeed: "Makers of men, creators of leaders, be careful what kind of leaders you're producing here." For the last fifty years or so, from Eisenhower onward, real leaders elected were few; really, only Eisenhower and Reagan. The rest have been flawed; LBJ was a Harvey Weinstein, Carter was incompetent, the Bushes were weak, the Clintons and Obama were corrupt. And make no mistake: Obama was as corrupt as they come. All of this has given us Harvey Weinstein and Hillary Clinton, two peas in a pod.
The other Americans, the normals, as Kurt Schlichter rightly calls us, the ones who elected Donald Trump, have awakened to damage done to their country and want a do-over, a reboot. The establishment of both parties is doing its best to foil his agenda, but he is hanging in there and making progress. Let us hope the mystery of the NYT's decision to expose Weinstein once and for all means the end of the Clintons and their coattails. Maybe even the NYT has had enough of this bunch, these shameless, corrupt birds of a feather.

All the latest news in the mushrooming Harvey Weinstein sexual misconduct scandal. Refresh for updates.
UPDATES BELOW: All times Eastern…
Original livewire from all of last week can be accessed here.
Update – 2:30 p.m.: The LAPD is urging women who say they were victims of Harvey Weinstein to come forward.
From the LA Times:
The Los Angeles Police Department said women who feel they were victims of a crime at the hands of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein should report what happened to authorities.“We absolutely encourage anyone who may be a victim of sexual assault to come forward and report the crime,” Josh Rubenstein, the LAPD director of communications, said Monday.Los Angeles Police Capt. Billy Hayes, who oversees the Robbery Homicide Division that handles sex crimes, said the LAPD currently does not have any active investigations into Weinstein.

Update Р11:51 a.m.: Bj̦rk reveals she was sexually harassed by a director
Update – 10:16 a.m.: Weinstein Co. saved by new investor? What seemed impossible just a few minutes ago (see 9:42 a.m. update below) appears to at least be trying to happen. Colony Capital is going to pump cash in The Weinstein Company in order to save it:
Thomas J. Barrack, Jr., founder and executive chairman of Colony Capital, said in a statement, “We are pleased to invest in The Weinstein Company and to help it move forward. We believe the Company has substantial value and growth potential, and we look forward to working with the Company’s critical strategic distribution and production partners to help preserve and create value for all stakeholders, including its employees. We will help return the Company to its rightful iconic position in the independent film and television industry.”Colony has been intricately involved with Harvey and Bob Weinstein’s show business odyssey, especially its most recent chapters.
One wonders, though, how Colony will overcome a toxified brand no one wants to be seen doing business with.
Update – 10:15 a.m.: ‘Big Bang Theory’ Star Mayim Bialik Responds to ‘Vicious’ Criticism Over Her Harvey Weinstein Editorial
However, the piece attracted some criticism, with readers accusing Bialik of implying that women may be to blame for being harassed because of the way they dress.“I have to say I was dressed non provocatively as a 12 year old when men on the street masturbated at me,” actress Patricia Arquette responded to Bialik. “It’s not clothing.”Taking to Twitter on Sunday, she explained that her words had been taken out of context by some readers.“I’m being told that my N.Y. Times piece resonated with so many and I am beyond grateful for all the feedback,” she wrote. “I also see a bunch of people have taken my words out of context of the Hollywood machine and twisted them to imply that God forbid I would blame a woman for her assault based on her clothing or behavior.”
Update – 10:11 a.m.: Donna Karan Apologizes Again, Describes Weinstein’s Actions As “Unconscionable and Unforgivable”
Update – 10:07 a.m.: Piers Morgan BLASTS Kate Winslet’s hypocrisy for hitting the Weinstein Woody, Polanski trifecta:
Yet how does the same Kate Winslet square all this with the fact that has no problem at all working for both Woody Allen and Roman Polanski?Last month, Ms Winslet gave an interview to the New York Times in which she explained why she recently agreed to make Allen’s film “Wonder Wheel”.‘Here’s the catalyst,’ she said, ‘(I) probably wasn’t going to get another go-around with Woody Allen, so it’s now or never. Plus I knew my parents would be incredibly proud of me working with Woody Allen.’The Times then asked: ‘Did the allegations against Woody Allen give you pause?’‘Of course one thinks about it,’ she replied. ‘But as an actor in the film, you just have to step away and say, I don’t know anything really… having thought it all through, you put it to one side and just work with the person. Woody Allen is an incredible director.’Then, unprompted, she added: ‘So is Roman Polanski. I had an extraordinary working experience with both of those men and that’s the truth.’

Update – 10:06 a.m.: Catherine Zeta-Jones Is “Shocked and Disgusted” by Harvey Weinstein Claims
Update – 9:42 a.m.: BREAKING –> Report: Weinstein Company’s assets go up for sale…
The Weinstein Company is in negotiating period with Colony Capital for a potential sale of all or a significant portion of the Company’s assets, Bloomberg News reports.
This is almost certain to be a fire sale, a total break up of the company. TWC cannot survive in its present form. It is now a toxic brand no one will ever again have anything to do with. The Board has to go, and the assets (film library, copyrights, properties owned — franchises, characters, literary acquisitions, etc.) sold off and repackaged under a different owner and whole new name.
Update – 9:21 a.m.: Rose McGowan accuses “feminist” attorney Lisa Bloom of trying to buy her silence.
Because Bloom’s reputation and career are not already in tatters, McGowan now alleges this:
“I feel like people should know that you’ve been calling my literary agent and saying there’d be money for me if I got on the ‘Harvey’s Changed’ bandwagon,” McGowan writes. “You told her that I should care about HIS reputation. How HE has a family now and HE has changed. Well, guess what? I’ve always had a family and that didn’t stop him from assaulting me.”McGowan goes on to lay out what she claims are the details of six months of pressure from Bloom and Weinstein’s other attorney, Charles Harder, to accept the hush money. “You and your vile partner in evil … have been hounding me for months now,” McGowan claims. “Terrorizing me at every turn. Trying to silence me.”
Bloom has denied the allegations.
Update – 9:18 a.m.: HBO’s John Oliver does what the other Late Night guys refuse — scorches Weinstein AND Hollywood:
Yes, finally! The group that counts among its current members Roman Polanski, Bill Cosby, and Mel Gibson has found the one guy who treated women badly and kicked him out. So, congratulations, Hollywood! See you at the next Oscars where — and this is true — Casey Affleck will be presenting Best Actress.” Oliver said in response to the Academy booting Harvey.
Update 8:00 a.m.: Hollywood director J.J. Abrams unloaded on what he called the “viciously repulsive” Harvey Weinstein at the Hammer Museum’s Gala Sunday, calling the disgraced movie producer a “monster.”
“Someone said to me the other day that they are sick of hearing people talk about how disgusting it is,” the Star Wars: The Forces Awakens director said of the mushrooming Weinstein sexual misconduct scandal. “I don’t think enough can be said about how viciously repulsive his abuse of power was. He’s a monster. There are other monsters but there are those who fight monsters and tonight is all about those who fight monsters.”
