How The Sausage Is Made
-
The Wikileaks dump has been offering proof of things we already knew, and this one's something that's been an open secret but the general public probably doesn't realize is going on: politicians' charities are, at least in part, a scam to funnel money to themselves. In the case of the Clinton Foundation, the memos show how special interest contributions were encouraged from corporations who were also encouraged by a Clinton aide and foundation executive to provide Bill Clinton with personal income and favors, because that was how things worked. It's politics, it's dirty, and they all do it. Or did you assume politicians become multi-millionaires by hard work and selling Hummel figurines on eBay in their spare time? (Washington Post)
