They make darn sure their schedules open so they can meet with them.
Do know what they would do if the donor asked if the could take the forklift home with him?
Politely, but firmly, tell him no but thank him for the donations and hope they continue.
Every group that has large donors will meet with them.
Every one of them.
That is "obvious grifting". But I think if the Clinton's released where every dime came from and every dime went and every email with every contact ever some people would STILL call them crooks.
WTF point is the above attempting to make? You don't think the Clintons are grifters? How many other people do you know that have amassed 100M+ in speaking fees?
Jack Welch commands, or used to, $200k per engagement. But I doubt he ever amassed anywhere near $100M for those speeches, despite the fact that he's actually run a business successfully.
Those speaking engagements are largely gratuitous, I mean gratuities, and you know it. That's grifting. And don't get me started on Chelsea getting a plum $600k gig with NBC - can't cut into Bill and Hill's own grifting.
