Turns out the Spoils System Thrives

Not only were the majority of non-governmental people she met with also donors to the Clinton Foundation, it turns out that 40% of the people she appointed to advisory boards were also donors.  Who is it who wants to get money out of politics?  Is this not the most obvious case of buying access ever?  Of note, only 6% of the Clinton Foundation money actually goes to charity.  The rest funds travel, hotel rooms, expenses, salary for employees, etc.  Sid Blumenthal, Hillary's aide-de-camp, is a highly paid employee ($10K a month) of the Clinton Foundation.  He is clearly a political operative for the Clintons, not a charity worker.  The Clinton Foundation money is a slush fund hidden beneath the veneer of a charitable organization.
