From David Sirota: Karen: Hey there - hope you are well. We are doing a story on some of the blowback to the Schweizer book. We would like to ask Ms. Clinton's campaign this question: does the campaign refute anything in our independent reporting on the Colombia/Giustra story? I realize that the criticism of the Schweizer book is focused primarily on the author of the book, but our story was independently reported, was published weeks before Schweitzer's book was ever circulated, and had nothing at all to do with him - it was all our own enterprise reporting: http://www.ibtimes.com/colombian-oil-money-flowed-clintons-state-department-took-no-action-prevent-labor-1874464 <http://t.strk04.email/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XYg4Ws4ysW1p1tMP1pgRm-W3LyyXR56dHwFdBP1T802?si=6107140144496640&pi=2541453B-39DD-4B60-A060-8976FB2518F6&t=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eibtimes%2Ecom%2Fcolombian%2Doil%2Dmoney%2Dflowed%2Dclintons%2Dstate%2Ddepartment%2Dtook%2Dno%2Daction%2Dprevent%2Dlabor%2D1874464> So we would like to know if the campaign has a substantive response to our story? Again, we know the criticism about Schweizer's book is about the author - but obviously, we are not him. So we are looking for any response about the reporting itself. We reached out to the campaign for comment when we originally reported it and heard nothing back. But now with it back in the news because of the Schweizer book, we are doing a separate story. Can you help us with a comment from someone at the campaign? Thanks in advance - our deadline is Wednesday. I can always be reached at 720-754-4875.
