LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - This 186-page investigative book, written by Peter Schweizer, takes a deep look into the Clinton Foundation's donations by foreign people and countries.
Republican Rand Paul describes the book as "big news that will shock people and make voters question the candidacy" of Clinton, according to the New York Times.
Although there are others books that go after Clinton, like Edward Klein's "Blood Feud," about tensions between the Clintons and the Obamas, and Daniel Halper's "Clinton Inc.: The Audacious Rebuilding of a Political Machine," this one is expected to be more unsettling because big news outlets, like Fox News and The Times, have made agreements with the author and will follow the storylines from the book in news stories.
"We will see a pattern of financial transactions involving the Clintons that occurred contemporaneous with favorable U.S. policy decisions benefiting those providing the funds," explains Schweizer.

Clinton's opposing candidates have already been briefed on the book's findings and much of its content has already found its way into parts of their campaigns.
As conservative "super PACS" are readily taking advantage of the damaging book, a pro-Democrat super PAC is jumping to Clinton's rescue creating a case that shows the author has a definitive bias against Clinton.
Clinton's campaign team is ready "to diminish the book as yet another conservative hit job," according to the New York Times.
The books is "twisting previously known facts into absurd conspiracy theories," said Brian Fallon, a Clinton campaign spokesman. "It will not be the first work of partisan-fueled fiction about the Clinton's record, and we know it will not be the last."
Schweizer's book is written in a neutral journalistic style, he clearly documents sources and includes important tax and government documents. He gives details on Bill's speech-giving income, showing how his payments increased largely while Hillary was serving the government as secretary of state.
"During Hillary's years of public service, the Clintons have conducted or facilitated hundreds of large transactions with foreign governments and individuals," he writes. "Some of these transactions have put millions in their own pockets."
Clinton Cash comes at a very "problematic" time for Hillary, as she has initiated her campaign position as the "champion for everyday Americans."
