During an interview with Daily Caller reporter Matt Lewis on his podcast Thursday, “Clinton Cash” author Peter Schweizer suggested that the media are dealing out much harsher treatment to Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for his apparent “DeflateGate” lies than they are to Hillary Clinton for her foundation’s incredibly suspect foreign money.
When asked about the NFL’s report showing Brady likely knew about the Patriots’ deflated footballs, Schweizer said that there exist similarities between the role of “circumstantial evidence” in both the football case and the Clinton Foundation foreign money case laid out in his book, but that the media nevertheless are treating them differently.
Schweizer explained:
Of course, as Schweizer pointed out, the media should be offering more scrutiny to Hillary Clinton because the foreign donation allegations are much more serious.
“It is quite ironic,” he said. “The seriousness of the Clinton case in comparison to the football case is enormously important and yet they’ve kind of inverted it and said, ‘Well, you know, we just don’t think that that same standard should apply.'”
