‘Clinton Cash’ author owes Hillary Clinton an apology

{mosads}In my recent column, “The ‘Clinton Cash’ con,” I charged that Clinton Cash, the book attacking Bill and Hillary Clinton and written by former Sarah Palin campaign operative Peter Schweizer, is poorly written, sloppily documented and proved nothing that suggested any wrongdoing by either Clinton.

This book was a disgrace then, and is revealed as an even greater disgrace now, with the revelation that Amazon.com has notified all consumers who had purchased the book that it contained significant factual errors that have now been corrected. The book’s publisher, HarperCollins, has now admitted that the book contained factual errors that included “seven or eight” passages that had to be corrected.

Peter Schweizer owes Hillary Clinton a full public apology, taking personal responsibility for the numerous factual errors in his now-discredited book, admitting that he was so anxious to write a partisan book attacking Clinton that he failed to adequately research allegations that are now proven false, and promising he will never let this happen again.
