Arianna Remembers Andrew Breitbart With CNN's Piers Morgan

Arianna went on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight" to share her memories of Andrew Breitbart, who died at the age of 43 on Thursday.

Reflecting on Breitbart's passing, Arianna called it "a really sad day for all of us who were friends of Andrew's. And Andrew and I, despite all our political differences, remained friends."

"All my thoughts all day, since I heard the tragic news around 9'o'clock this morning," she continued, "have been around Susie, his amazing wife, who has always been as peaceful and calm as Andrew has been fiery, every time I have spent any moments with him."

Arianna and Breitbart were professional colleagues more than once over the years. Breitbart played a key role at Arianna's first web site, Arianna Online, and he played an early role at The Huffington Post as well. Of Breitbart's larger-than-life personality and professional drive, Arianna said, "He loved his work, whatever he was doing."

It certainly is sad that he died at such an early age and I feel for his wife and 4 children. That said, let's not forget who he was and how caustic he could be. I hope he is at peace now. I wish all the peace and love to his loved ones and that they will get through their tragedy. It hurts when a loved one passes so young.

As AH’s researcher Andrew is the one who found the proof of major donors to the Bill Clinton Campaign receiving improper burial in Arlington National Cemetery leading to the disinterment of Larry Lawrence who had make up his military record all together. Andrew found records that proved the man was in college in Chicago at the time he had claimed to have been serving in the Merchant Marine in WWII.

Hi, you use the plural, "proof of major donors" and then name one person. Was there more then one?
There does not seam to be any legit news media that say Clinton was involved. Do you have a link?
