The New York Times notes that the Clintons have decided to contribute between $5 million and $10 million to the Clinton Foundation. “That may reflect their enhanced wherewithal” – they earned more than $30 million in the past year and a half, and, it would seem, want to share the wealth. Actually, as the Times later points out, “They did not write personal checks, however: the money was transferred from a smaller charity, the Clinton Family Foundation, to the larger entity.” Oh. So what then does taking from one pocket and putting the money into another have to do with “their enhanced wherewithal”, which they have not shared with their Foundation? In fact, the story might go, “Despite their enhanced wherewithal, the Clintons have decided against a new donation to their Foundation.”
