Clinton campaign finance director raised $248 m in 4 years at Foundation.

[grasswire]

Donations for the foundation, in general, have gone up considerably since Clinton left the State Department. According to tax documents, donations to the foundation in 2013 were $144.4 million, compared to $51.5 million in 2012, a three-fold increase.

One reason for this increase is Dennis Cheng, the Clinton Foundation's chief development officer who led an aggressive campaign to boost the foundation's endowment in his four years at the organization.

Cheng, who raised $248 million during that time, left the organization earlier this month to join Hillary Clinton's nascent pre-campaign and is slated to serve as Clinton's finance director once the campaign officially kicks off. He had been working to build Clinton's campaign finance team while still working at the foundation, according to a source.

The Washington Post later noted that there was "substantial overlap between the Clinton political machinery and the foundation."

1. Incredible, and those contributions have done a lot of good, contrary to

what Sanders' supporters will tell us.

2. Yet a good president this does not make.

That a bunch of oligarchs can get together and toss money around doesn't solve the problems we have as a nation today. It IS the problem we have as a nation today.
