There are some interesting comments in today’s WSJ op-ed article “Clinton Foundation Secrets.” Why do some individuals donate to the Clinton Foundation? Special interests? Maybe.
Chicago bankruptcy lawyer William Brandt Jr. pledged $1 million for the Clinton library in May 1999, at the same time the Justice Department was investigating whether he’d lied about a Clinton fundraising event. The Clinton DOJ cleared him a few months later.
And let’s not forget the $450,000 contribution from Denise Rich, which was followed by Mr. Clinton’s pardon of her fugitive husband, Marc Rich.
OR maybe they just donate to get that warm fuzzy feeling of self-contribution inside.
