Reply #140: While would the Clintons steal money to give away? [View All]

[creeksneakers2]

If it was a speaker fee or campaign donation or book deal or something like that I can see where somebody might want to know the donors. This is charity. If the Clintons wanted to grant favors in exchange for donations they'd take the money themselves. Why would they steal money to give away?

Almost no charities disclose their donor lists. At one time a group was formed to lobby for a legal requirement that charities release their donor lists. Then a reporter asked the lobby group who their donors were. They refused to say!

Its perfectly legitimate for a wealthy person to make a large charitable donation and want it kept secret. Perhaps he doesn't want his donation advertised because that would attract tons of other solicitations. Perhaps as a matter of conscience he doesn't want to get credit for something he believes he is really doing for himself. Perhaps a well known Republican wants to give to a good cause but doesn't want the other Republicans to find out he gave money to Bill Clinton. There are lots of possible good reasons to request anonymity.

If somebody wants to give away his money for the public good he shouldn't be challenged and scrutinized. That would discourage future donations to worthy charities.

Note that this demand for a donor list is not an accusation against the Clintons. It is a demand for information that the seekers hope will lead them to something they can use against the Clintons later. That is sick! There is an entire industry making millions selling lies about the Clintons already. Why do the Clinton haters need more? Pretty weird. What's really weird about it is that so much information was turned over in the past and no wrongdoing, save a blow job, by the Clintons was ever found. Why why can't Clinton haters at least consider the possibility that the reason nothing was found was because the Clintons are honest?
