NYT Reporter: Hillary Can’t Just Declare Everything ‘Off-Limits’

New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters — who this morning fulfilled what must have been a lifelong dream of being the subject of two Mediaite posts in the same day — took the Clintons to task for attempting to de-legitimize any criticism of their dealings and smearing anybody who reports negatively on them.

“What we’re seeing consistently from the Clinton world is that there appears to be no criticism of her leadership, of the former president’s leadership, that is legitimate,” Peters said on Morning Joe Thursday. “They’re basically saying ‘Off-limits.’ Anything you want to say, anything you want to report about their background, you’re biased, you have an ax to grind, and you’re part of the vast right wing conspiracy.”

The Times secured access to Peter Schweizer’s new Clinton Cash, and reported Thursday that the Clinton Global Initiative took money from a Russian oil company that was securing State Department approval for lucrative contracts in the U.S. Clinton surrogates have spent the past few days questioning Schweizer’s credentials and accusing him of being an ideologue funded by Clinton opponents.

This one’s still my favorite.
