Hillary Clinton always makes time for friends at the State Department—especially those who have money.
In a newly released email from the State Department, an official sends Clinton her schedule. On that schedule, one sees the entry, “3:10 pm (t) PRIVATE DROP-BY — DANNY ABRAHAM (T).”
Abraham isn’t just an old friend, he’s also founder of Slim Fast and a big donor to the Clintons. He has contributed between $5 and $10 million to the Clinton Foundation, and almost a million in hard and soft money to the Clintons.
In 2010, Clinton said, “I don’t know how many times Danny called my husband in the 1990s … or how many times he called and said he had to come see me in the Senate or come see me in the State Department.”
But remember, Clinton says she’d support a constitutional amendment to get rid of money in politics.
“We have to end the flood of secret, unaccountable money that is distorting our elections, corrupting our political system, and drowning out the voices of too many everyday Americans … Our democracy should be about expanding the franchise, not charging an entrance fee.”
