Hillary's quid pro quo

It’s not an impeachable offense — because she will never, ever be the president — but in yet another reminder that any flaming pile of garbage could have beat Hillary Clinton in 2016, Ronan Farrow’s new book, Catch and Kill, reports that Hillary Clinton withheld an interview for his prior book on diplomacy in the hopes of coercing him to stop his investigation into Harvey Weinstein.

Farrow, a State Department alumnus who had worked for Clinton during the Obama administration, published his first book, War on Peace, with interviews from every living secretary of state. But in an about-face, Clinton, with whom he’d had a positive professional relationship, withdrew from a number of planned interview slots.
