4. I almost felt sorry enough for them back in 1998 to send money for legal fees!
Almost, but I was too short of cash myself!

6. Yes. I can see why these poor people who could be making so much money in the private sector refuse
it all for the sake of lowly humble public service.

Clintons' Charity Not Listed On Senate Disclosure Forms

The foundation has enabled the Clintons to write off more than $5 million from their taxable personal income since 2001, while dispensing $1.25 million in charitable contributions over that period.

-snip

Among the institutions receiving grants from the Clinton Family Foundation were Yale University, where both attended law school; groups named for deceased heads of state in Israel and Jordan; and a charity connected to the Arkansas businessman who helped Hillary Clinton make $100,000 on a commodities trade that stirred controversy a decade ago, Internal Revenue Service reports show.

-snip-

The charity is separate from the New York-based William J. Clinton Foundation, which has directed $10 billion in corporate money and resources toward slowing the global spread of AIDS, addressing climate change, and reducing hunger and poverty in developing countries.

-snip-

The Clintons have been generous to their alma maters, with donations going to Yale Law School, Georgetown University, Wellesley College and Oxford University, which Bill Clinton attended on a Rhodes Scholarship.

13. Also, the President never received $400 K per year until...
George W Bush. The salary was $200K up to W... Since he was considered to be worth 2 times as much as all other Presidents, he got paid double.
