Yesterday The Daily Caller<\/a> posted an article about the recent New York Times<\/a> reporting on allegations by the Clinton campaign<\/a> that Donald Trump<\/a> has a connection to Russia<\/a>. This connection is being used to bolster the claim that Russia hacking is behind the Wikileaks emails.<\/p>\n

The article reminds us that The New York Times has recently chosen to ignore some of the Clinton’s connections to Russia. That has not always been the case.<\/p>\n

The article cites some older reporting on that connection:<\/p>\n

If we go back to April 24, 2015, a New York Times<\/em> investigative report illustrates<\/a> why the Clinton campaign should think twice about accusing the Trump campaign<\/a> of cozying up to Russia. The Times<\/em>\u2019 \u201cCash Flowed to Clinton Foundation<\/a> Amid<\/a> Russian Uranium Deal\u201d \u00a0reveals in depth the ethically-challenged relationship among the Clintons, the Foundation\u2019s top donor, Canadian mining magnate, Frank Guistra ( $31.3 million in donations), and Russia\u2019s state-owned Atomic Energy Agency (Rosatom<\/a>).<\/strong><\/p>\n

…The Times<\/em> concludes: \u201cThe episode underscores the special ethical challenges presented by the Clinton Foundation, headed by a former president \u2026.even as his wife \u2026 presided over decisions (such as approval of the Russian purchase of Uranium One<\/a>) with the potential to benefit the foundation\u2019s donors.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

The Clinton team should remember that people who live in glass houses should not throw the first stone. If the American public knew the unsavory clients of K-Street law and PR firms, they might pull out their pitchforks. If so, our political class would lose their plush lifestyle of life after politics. Be careful. A cooperative media cannot protect you forever.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is time for term limits and rules that make lobbying less profitable. It is really time to drain the swamp.<\/p>\n
