It almost looks like it was all along a vehicle for buying influence

From the Clinton Foundation, the 2017 Public Report. Christina Laila points out that private contributions are down 90% since Clinton's departure from the State Department.

Someone else points out that private contributions are down 85% since 2016, the last run.

This is jaw-dropping. The Clinton Foundation's 2017 annual report is finally online--WOW. Lots to unpack but digest this nugget:

2015 Total Contributions: $182.5M

2016 Total Contributions: $135.4M

2017 Total Contributions: $22.8M 😭

WHEN THEY CAN'T PLAY--NOBODY WANTS TO PAY!

It almost looks like it was all along a vehicle for buying influence rather than a means of supporting good works.
