CNN: NY Times Editorial Is Correct, Clinton Scandal ‘Isn’t Going Away’

KING: “With me to share the reporting on insights Jackie Kucinich of The Daily Beast, Robert Costa of The Washington Post. Lot to cover on this latest controversy about the Clinton Foundation and whether it will impact the Clinton presidential campaign. The New York Times the other day had a very good story. If you hadn’t read it folks, go online and find it. At the time the United States government was making a deal with Russia to allow Russia to expand control of uranium, Bill Clinton was getting contribution from Canadian businessman who's involved in the deal to the Clinton Foundation. He goes over the Russia and gives a big speech paid for by a bank that has involved in this transaction. And now The New York Times is saying Secretary Clinton, Candidate Clinton has some answering to do. They have the big piece in the newspaper the other day, here's the an editorial from The New York Times this morning because the Clinton campaign has said, go away, this is all partisan, it's not a big deal. 'These half-steps show that candidate Clinton is aware of the complications she and Bill Clinton have created for themselves. She needs to do a lot more because this problem is not going away.' The New York Times making the case that you can't just say we're not going to take any more foreign money in the future and we're going to be more transparent in the future. They say that the Foundation owes answers, more answers, about this deal. Are they right?”
KUCINICH: “Yeah. I think they are. I think they are because the longer this is out there longer it festers and the more that comes out as a result of Peter Schweizer's book that's going to come out I think in a week or two, it's not going to get any better. There needs to be answers for this. And it can't be, well, this guy's a right wing nut job. That’s not going to set. It’s in The New York Times. there isn't a good argument there right now.”
KING: “Right. You make that point and this has been a Clinton playbook. When you are criticized, just say the person attacking us is political. They are partisan. It doesn't matter if there are actual facts in here. Again, the New York Times did get some information from this conservative author writing the book ‘Clinton Cash.’ He's a conservative. No question about that. He said look what I found to the New York Times which independently verified and added its own reporting.”
