Public Broadcasting Service?
I’m beginning to believe that all non-profits do is give money to other non-profits.

ABC-TV News is reportedly standing by Stephanopoulos.....but for how long? Because if they truly think it’s not a problem, then the “smoking gun” points not just to the credibility of Clinton donor George Stephanopoulos, but to ABC-TV News, as well.

WAIT A SEC---maybe Georgio did not disclose the $75G b/c it was not his money that was donated?

<><> Did Stephanpoli take a tax write-off for his donation?

<><> DID ABC-TV take a tax write-off?

<><> Who has the "gift receipt" from the Clinton Foundation that is generally used to claim a tax write-off?

<><> How much did George list as a write-off on his IRS return....$50G? $75G?......or more?

Time to determine if fraudulent tax returns were filed.

WIKI---Latino-TV Univision owner, Haim Saban described his formula to influence American politics: make donations to political parties, establish think tanks, and control media outlets.[22]

Saban became involved in politics in the mid-1990s when he felt that support for Israel was slipping in the United States.[5]

Saban has been a generous and consistent donor to the United States Democratic Party according to his mandatory Federal Election Commission filings.

Mother Jones, in an analysis of the major donors to the campaigns of 1998 election cycle, ranked Saban 155th among individual donors.[23] Amy Paris noted that Saban's Clinton-era "generosity did not go unrewarded. During the Clinton administration, the entertainment executive served on the President's Export Council, advising the White House on trade issues."[23]

The New York Times reported that Haim and his wife "slept in the White House several times during President Clinton's two terms." Saban remains close friends with the former President. Clinton described Saban as a "very good friend and supporter."[5]

Saban contributed between $5 million to $10 million to the William J. Clinton Foundation.[24]

During the 2000 presidential election, Saban increased his rank to 5th among individual donors with a combined contribution of $1,250,500.[23] Matthew Yglesias wrote that "Saban was the largest overall contributor to the Democratic National Committee during the 2001–2002 cycle." [25] Saban's donations during that 2001–2002 period exceeded $10 million, the largest donation the DNC has received from a single source up to that time.

In September 2004, Hillary Clinton described Saban as a very good friend, supporter and adviser: "I am grateful for his commitment to Israel, to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East and to my foundation's work, particularly on reconciliation issues."[5] In May 2007, Haim publicly declared his support for Clinton in 2008 presidential election.[20]

In June 2007, Saban and Steven Spielberg co-hosted a Hillary Clinton fundraiser at the house of Peter Chernin, the President of News Corporation.[26] According to the Los Angeles Times,[26] the fundraiser brought in over $850,000.

In March 2008, Saban was among a group of major Jewish donors to sign a letter to Democratic Party house leader Nancy Pelosi warning her to "keep out of the Democratic presidential primaries."[27] The donors, who "were strong supporters of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton presidential campaign", "were incensed by a March 16 interview in which Pelosi said that party 'superdelegates' should heed the will of the majority in selecting a candidate."[27] The letter to Pelosi stated the donors "have been strong supporters of the DCCC" and implied, according to The Jewish Telegraphic Agency,[27] that Pelosi could lose their financial support in important upcoming congressional elections.

On May 19, 2008, it was reported that Haim Saban had "offered $1 million to the Young Democrats of America during a phone conversation in which he also pressed for the organization's two uncommitted superdelegates to endorse the New York Democrat."[28]

Saban, a long-time supporter and donor of many pro-Jewish and Israel causes, has stated his main goal in multiple interviews: "I'm a one-issue guy, and my issue is Israel."[38]

Haim Saban, a worldwide pioneer and leader in the
entertainment industry, is the Chairman and CEO of
Saban Capital Group, Inc.

Pay to play: a phrase used for a variety of situations in which money is exchanged for services or the privilege to engage (play) in certain activities. The common denominator of all forms of pay to play is that one must pay to “get in the game,” with the sports analogy frequently arising.

None of that money is given without the expectation of significant ROI!

Since the Clinton Foundation does a horrible job of distributing money to the actual causes (5-10%), and wince there are many non-profit groups that make much more effective use of donations, why would anyone or any company give money to the Clinton Foundation? The ONLY plausible explanation is that they are trying to gain favor with the Clintons.

The Clintons, and all those who donate to them have turned this nation into an open sewer.

Pull back the curtain people. This article was fed to a leftwing rag favorable to the Clinton cabal most likely from ABC. Just like the original story was when a not so favorable reporter Started asking ABC questions about CokeBoy.

This is just a see everyone does it snow job.

How many on that list other than Coke boy interviewed and questioned the motives of a an Author who wrote a Book questioning the Clinton Foundations and political access for donations.

George is sleaze, always has been always will be. He and Sid Bluementhal were the evil bastards that destroyed any and all that dared question the Clinton’s during Bent Willy’s reign.

I knew it. The Clinton Foundation was essentially a writ large version of what William Magear "Boss" Tweed ran between the early 1850's to 1873 when he controlled New York City's Tammany Hall, the "political machine" of that city for many decades.

Right now I'm a little more concerned about that treason in Benghazi and Russia/Iran controlling most of the Uranium in the world than I am about Stephanopoulos apologizing.
