Koch Cash

It was revealed today that the Koch brothers are behind the publishing of the book "Clinton Cash" by Peter Schweizer. The author had already begun admissions of no facts prior to the book being released. He has now gone even further with his acknowledgement to Politico that the book shows no proof of anything.
