Demands that Schweizer, or any author, find a smoking gun and present it to the media prepackaged demonstrate a sheer laziness one the part of reporters, and perhaps a hidden desire that his claims about the Clintons might not actually prove truthful
Criticisms of Clinton Cashfollow a common template, one which emphasizes that Peter Schweizer’s book is really an unsuccessful partisan attack on the Clinton family. Some of these critiques point to errors within the book while asserting that the rest of it has leaps of logic amounting to a false account full of speculation and innuendo. For good measure, some journalists throw in background information about the author that emphasizes Schweizer’s conservative ties, as if that should disqualify his analysis entirely.
