Establishment media are intensely interested in Peter Schweizer's brief stint as an advisor to Sarah Palin after an advance tease from his forthcoming book suggested a fresh scandal in the long career of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
But they are showing a nearly total disinterest in an even more prominent newsmaker's connection to Clinton herself. After Rajat K.

He piqued the interest of some of the biggest media groups in the country this week, including the Washington Post, the New York Times and Fox News, by alleging that he has uncovered several questionable foreign donations made out to the Clinton Foundation during Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary state.
Schweizer is a Hoover Institution fellow, a member of the Research Advisory Council of the James Madison Institute, the author of 11 books, and president of the Government Accountability Institute. In the excerpts from his upcoming book, he suggests that the Clinton-run State Department may have had a pay-to-play scheme in place whereby foreign donors were given preferential treatment by the federal government in return for cash.
