Who Loves Bill Clinton?
Judging by the list of donors to the Clinton Foundation, the former President is beloved of Saudi Arabian princes, lotteries, liberal foundations, George Soros, and the countries of Norway and Qatar to name a few.
Clinton was forced to come clean, probably as part of the deal that made his wife Secretary of State. The list of people, foundations, and nations that gave huge amounts of money to his foundation reveals an eclectic group.
Saudi Arabia - Between $10-25 million
Bill Gates Foundation - $10-25 million
Nationale Postcode Loterij (Netherlands charitable lottery) - $5-10 million
Government of Norway - $5-10 million
Open Society Institite (Soros) - $1-5 million
The Streisand Foundation - $1-5 million
Peter Lewis - $500,000 - 1 million
Wonder if Republicans are going to make some political hay with this list during confirmation hearings for Hillary?
