Fox News' Chris Wallace tells the author of Clinton Cash that he doesn't provide a "single piece of evidence" to back up his allegations that donors to the Clinton Foundation received favors from Hillary Clinton during her time as Secretary of State.
During an interview on Fox News Sunday, author Peter Schweizer suggested that Hillary Clinton approved a deal that eventually allowed the Russian government to control some U.S. uranium mines.
But Wallace pointed out that the book offers innuendo without any proof that Clinton ever took any action approving the sale of the mines.
"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.
"I am a journalist," Schweizer insisted. "I don't have access to government records. I certainly don't have access to her emails, which it doesn't seem like anybody does. But the fundamental question is, with this deal and with the others we cite in the book, is it coincidence in a pattern that we see repeated dozens of times where large Clinton supporters have business before the State Department, they make large payments and favorable actions are taken?"
"I don't think that coincidences occur that frequently," he added.
Now, when even Fox News (FOX NEWS!!!) says you don't have any evidence to support your Hillary attack, you know it's a sketchy kinda book.
