Much Ado Do About Not Much

The best explanation I’ve heard about the kerfuffle involving the pay for play operation at the Clinton Foundation is this: She did nothing illegal. The scandal––if there is one––is in revealing how the system works, and has worked for millennia. It’s called buying influence, something the Republicans are expert at. Think NRA. However, in this case, it’s kind of like the other modern phrase, “no good deed shall go unpunished.”

Usually, these “contributions” go into the politician’s war chest for running for re-election. If you don’t know what the Clinton Foundation does, check it out at: https://www.clintonfoundation.org/
