Go figure
Donating to the Clinton Foundation was all about buying influence.. in the expectation that Hillary was going to be president.
Well, they're gonna have to return it all, without exception, fortunately, on the bright side, they can keep the money paid to them by the Saintly Communist Chinese Oligarchs and Government because THEY'RE the Good Communists.
Virtue signaling can get really expensive.
My mom once told me “money does not know who owns it”.

Educrats are just prostitutes with PhDs.
Yeah, once you’ve sold your soul to the commies it’s expensive to try to buy it back.
Targeting oligarchs was not to prevent Putin’s invasion, it was propaganda stunt.

And syphilis enhanced brains.
“My mom once told me “money does not know who owns it”.”
You have very smart mother.
This sounds altruistic, but lets get the names of the “charities”. I have heard that the Russians have sent hundreds of millions over the years to radical global warmest groups in the U.S. and Europe. The intent was to destroy these countries interest in and ability to be self sufficient in energy production. Germany is now pathetic and we are a net importer of energy while our electric grids get weaker and weaker. Sometimes charity isn’t so charitable!
Al Capone opened soup kitchens in Chicago, too.
Heck, she really came through for the russians with that uranium deal (with which they may end up vaporizing our cities) even when she was still Hag of State.
How come I never hear anything about American Oligarchs? “American” Oligarch Mark Zuckerberg donated $490,000,000 to help rig the 2020 election in favor of the Media-Dem Party. We never go after our own Oligarchs.
The oligarchs next charity will be the Russian economy.
I’m more interested in the American oligarchs, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Oprah, Warren Buffett, the Google twins, Larry Fink, etc.
Genocidal pedo Gates, etc... you know, oligarchs.
Oligarch is the scary word the use when we want to mean to Russia.
That’s awful nice of them.
It has zero relevance to anything other than it’s a nice thing to do. But we also know how “charitable” foundations work.
Also to political campaign coffers on both sides of the aisle I’m sure, and of course the Clinton and Biden crime families.
