I don't believe I suggested that. But, if Hillary had won, as President, she could have favored all those that supported her foundation. Now it ain't going to happen = foreign funds paid to the foundation and no quid quo pro. I doubt that those that gave are celebrating anything. I wonder if any will ask for refunds? |
they knew they were giving money for charity, they have plenty to be celebrating for.
as rated the clinton foundation is one of the top rated for accomplishing making sure what they were sending did not end up in the hands of those countries elites.

another right wing billionaire you never hear about...
wiki,
Vincent Viola
Nomination for Secretary of the Army[edit]
| Quote: | On December 19, 2016, then-President-elect Donald Trump announced his intention to nominate Viola for the position of Secretary of the Army.[16] The choice was reported to be concerning to the nominated Secretary of Defense General James Mattis, who was reportedly not informed of the choice prior to the announcement, a position he would directly oversee, and was concerned about potential trading practices which were not yet fully investigated.[17]
Viola withdrew himself from consideration for the position on February 3, 2017, citing his inability to comply with Pentagon regulations regarding personal businesses. Military Times reported that Viola had been searching for ways to divest from his business ventures, including transferring ownership of the Florida Panthers to his family members and transferring responsibility for operations to Vice Chairman Douglas Cifu.[18] |

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/pro-trump-megadonor-is-part-owner-of-breitbart-news-empire-ceo-reveals/2017/02/24/9f16eea4-fad8-11e6-9845-576c69081518_story.html?utm_term=.04f6ecb48dda&wpisrc=nl_headlines&wpmm=1
Pro-Trump megadonor is part owner of Breitbart News empire, CEO reveals
| Quote: | Breitbart News Network, the far-right media outlet that heralded President Trump’s rise and was once led by his top White House strategist, is owned in part by a wealthy conservative family that poured millions into propelling Trump into office, the company’s chief executive acknowledged Friday.
The site’s financial backing from the Mercers further cements the family’s status as some of the most influential financiers of the Trump era. The news comes as Breitbart has enjoyed a higher profile within the White House press corps.
The Mercers’ investment in Breitbart has been previously reported by The Washington Post and other news outlets, but the family’s role as partial owners of the organization has never been officially confirmed. Larry Solov, Breitbart’s president and CEO, shared the company’s ownership information with a panel of congressional journalists as part of a process to get Capitol Hill press credentials for Breitbart reporters.
Solov said that he is also an owner of the company. The largest share is owned by Susannah Breitbart, the widow of site founder Andrew Breitbart, who died in 2012.
Solov would not reveal which members of the Mercer family were investors.
“I can’t say more than ‘the Mercer family,’ ” Solov told the Standing Committee of Correspondents, the group tasked with approving credentials that grant reporters access to certain areas in the Capitol restricted to the general public. “That’s all I can specify right now.”
Solov also said that the site’s former executive chairman, White House senior strategist Stephen K. Bannon, resigned from the company in a phone call after the election.
But Solov said he could not provide documentation of Bannon’s separation from Breitbart.
Neither White House officials nor a spokeswoman for Breitbart and the Mercers returned requests for comment.
The Los Angeles-based Breitbart News, founded in 2007, has been criticized for airing inflammatory stories about immigrants and refugees and promoting nationalist views. Bannon once touted it as a “platform” for the alt-right, a small, far-right movement that seeks a whites-only state and whose adherents are known for espousing racist, anti-Semitic and sexist points of view.
Breitbart is one of many projects that the Mercers undertook with Bannon in the past six years as they expanded their political influence on the right.
The family’s profile started to rise in 2010, when Robert Mercer became co-chief executive of the Renaissance Technologies hedge fund and began directing his wealth into Republican campaigns. Last year, he and his wife, Diana, gave nearly $3.4 million to Trump’s campaign, the Republican Party and a family super PAC that backed the businessman’s presidential bid and was run by Kellyanne Conway, now a top White House adviser.
Much of the family’s political investment strategy is driven by their middle daughter, Rebekah, who has quietly directed millions into an array of conservative groups and causes. Under her leadership, the Mercer family foundation gave nearly $35 million to Washington think tanks and state policy groups between 2009 and 2014, according to records compiled by The Washington Post and GuideStar USA.
Among the major beneficiaries have been the Media Research Center, a conservative media watchdog group, and the Heritage Foundation.
The family also financed a production company that produced films such as “Clinton Cash,” a documentary based on the book by conservative author Peter Schweizer, as well as a data science company, Cambridge Analytica, that worked for Trump’s campaign. Cambridge’s British parent company, SCL Group, is now ramping up its efforts to secure government contracts. |

wow chickenfeed vs the right wingers. Koch brothers had 1 billion to spend... How about Sheldon adelson in last election was at 70 million and was thinking of spending to the tune of 100 million for this one but he did not seem to be enthused with trump.

The Washington Post, "Koch-backed network aims to spend nearly $1 billion in run-up to 2016," Jan. 26, 2015. Politico, "The Kochs put a price on 2016: $889 million," Jan. 26, 2015. USA Today, "Koch brothers set $889 million budget for 2016," Jan. 27, 2015.Nov 6, 2015 |
and all this money is nothing vs the dark money and the lobbying money by corporations.
