And timing, I'm thinking that Bill doesn't want attention drawn to him at this time until AFTER the elections, which would be a good decision IMO.
The inference that the wife is an extension of her husband is getting old.
Also, if you read the article, it was not "Team Clinton people over power in US politics", Bill wants more control over the project. This is common in biographies...especially for people living.

(13,877 posts)Power. So?
Both parties have influence in Hollywood...I lived in LA County for 25 years. Have no clue why this should disqualify or besmirch a potential candidate? There are fundraisers non-stop by singers, actors, directors, studios etc.
Just a cheap shot at Hillary, IMO.

The Clintons are not shy about exercising power, as the effort to release to video the TV mini-series The Path to 9/11 illustrates. The controversial film is still not available for public viewing either via streaming or on DVD. The Walt Disney Company, parent of ABC, refuses to release the film and has never shown it since its original airing more than eight years ago.
That kind of power is not to be tampered with, as Scorsese no doubt realizes. So rather than compromise his integrity, Scorsese decided to cut his losses and shelve the film.
Even a revered director like Martin Scorsese must kneel and pay homage to the Clinton gang. Adoring them is not enough; you are required to sell your soul for them if asked.
Scorsese passed on the Faustian bargain and is a lot wiser for the effort.
