• Peter Schweizer, the author of “Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich,” which Mr. Trump repeatedly referred to, is a well-known conservative author who is a senior editor-at-large at Breitbart News and is affiliated with the conservative Hoover Institution.And?
Sorry, that's all we get regarding Schweizer and his book. There's no mention of the Times's deal to gain early access to material in the book, which the paper's Amy Chozick announced with great fanfare more than a year ago:
But “Clinton Cash” is potentially more unsettling, both because of its focused reporting and because major news organizations including The Times, The Washington Post and Fox News have exclusive agreements with the author to pursue the story lines found in the book.I guess the Times is embarrassed to acknowledge that it aligned itself with an author whose work is now fodder for the campaign attacks of a bunco artist and conspiracy-monger. Maybe there'll be a tiny correction in the paper a few days from now.

The warning to the NY Times that, as "The Paper of Record," is that someone they're using as a source, is affiliated with Breitbart - "The Inter-derp Site for Discord."
I suppose to save money, the NYT's got rid of most of their Editors, huh?
The NYT apologized after the war's inception for not investigating the conspiracy engaged in by agencies of the government to promote the Iraq War. How much worse can "conspiracy-mongering" in this regard be?
Certain of their writers actually promoted the intelligence lies.
Good catch, Steve.
