Former President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton donated thousands of dollars to a Brooklyn public relations specialist still in a coma after a Brooklyn Citi Bike crash, the Daily News learned Sunday.

Jacob Priley, who recently served as a chief of staff to a Manhattan state senator, suffered a traumatic brain injury after the incident, in which he slammed into a 2017 Nissan Rogue near the corner of Union St. and Fifth Ave. in Park Slope on Sept. 22, friends and family previously told The News.

Priley, 29, wasn’t wearing a helmet when he was thrown off the Citi Bike he was riding and onto the pavement, police sources said.

The pervert and the vodka hag do nothing nice without wanting something in return...

he made what police described as an abrupt left turn onto Union St. and hit the front driver’s side of a 2017 Nissan Rogue going in the opposite direction.

Has he been charged with Felony Reckless driving causing Injury or Death??? Shouldn't he be Prosecuted for this brazen act of recklessness?

I wonder what the Clintoons have up their sleeves with this fiasco. An endorsement of helmet free bike-riding? What the hell is a “Citi Bike”?

They’ve got publicity and pr for this and whatever else like you say.

They are getting her name in the news- she is running again

“The campaign has raised over $100,000, with a top donation of $10,000 by the Clintons.” ... Does Go Fund Me release info re individual contributions made or is this a Clinton press release?

....served as a chief of staff to a Manhattan state senator,

I'd be willing to bet there's a money or political power angle somewhere in there. We just don't have all the facts. There's not a decent or compassionate bone in any of that family.

I BELIEVE when you donate to GoFundMe you can choose to list your name or not. So, IF you do it is public knowledge.

Not that I want to disparage charity when it is given with proper motives but several thousand dollars to these grifters is nothing. When you are given millions in advances for books that will sell a few thousand copies or get hundreds of thousands of dollars for giving a speech, the amount is trivial - a ghostwritten paragraph or a few words repeated in speech after speech.

What really annoys me about celebrity giving is the "leaks" that inevitably follow. If I were in that position, I'd give in such a way (through trusts and other financial vehicles) that it would take a forensic accountant a month to discover my identity.

Waddling, maybe

Chump change to these phonies. Their charity steals millions and they still eat babies for breakfast.

[Chewbarkah]

My thought exactly. There has to be a political connection.

[plain talk]

Glad Bill and Hillary donated. Some people help others in private without being known. Trump is one of them.

[ridesthemiles]

I am having a problem seeing this in my mind.

Did no better with paper & pencil.

Turned left?

Hit a car going the opposite direction in the driver’s door?

Multiple lanes of traffic???

[Mr. K]

I stand corrected

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Yep - probably from their Haitian fund.
