"The New York Times has compiled the first comprehensive list of 97 donors who gave or pledged a total of $69 million for the Clinton presidential library in the final years of the Clinton administration. The examination found that while some $1 million contributors were longtime Clinton friends, others were seeking policy changes from the administration. Two pledged $1 million each while they or their companies were under investigation by the Justice Department."
"As the scope of the foundation expanded from the Clinton library into issues like treating AIDS in the developing world and addressing global poverty and climate change, and Mrs. Clinton moved closer to announcing her candidacy, the pace of giving quickened. Last year, contributions reached $135 million, a 70 percent increase over the previous year. Two-thirds came from just 11 donors."
"For weeks, Clinton Foundation officials had suggested that the $31.3 million contribution listed on its tax return did not come from a single donor. They then said it came from a single source, but declined to identify it. Wednesday afternoon, a representative of Mr. Giustra contacted The Times and acknowledged the Radcliffe contribution.
This year, Mr. Giustra announced separate plans to give the Clinton Foundation $100 million, plus half of his future earnings from natural resource business ventures, for a joint project to spur economic growth in poor Latin American mining communities. Taken together, the contributions make Mr. Giustra one of the foundation’s largest benefactors, if not the single largest."
Anyone surprised? Very nice, we're limited to $2300 in donations and millions at a time are going to one of the candidates spouses. No, this doesn't have special interest written all over it. Here's a quote from Hillary, “You know, a lot of those lobbyists, whether you like it or not, represent real Americans."
Edit: Here's a link to a youtube video also referring to some contributions Hillary took illegally. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMfUajhL24I
The video seems pretty legit, but there are some things on there that seem t0ne-like so I wouldn't take everything in it as legit (such as rigging the jury) but much of it makes sense and seems legit.
