Bill Clinton Releases Foundation's Donor List

Now we have it. The much anticipated donor list of the William J. Clinton Foundation.

Full disclosure of Clinton's list was a requirement for Hillary Clinton to pass the vetting test to be named Barack Obama's secretary of state pick. Bill said he was more than happy to do awhatever it took to help his wife get the job. But why are we just getting this list now, I wonder...

The former president's foundation funds efforts such as: the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative, the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), the Clinton Climate Initiative, the Clinton Hunter Development Initiative, the Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative, the Clinton Economic Opportunity Initiative, and the Alliance for a Healthier Generation. The foundation also funded the construction of the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, AK.

The CGO has vowed not to host annual events outside the U.S., or solicit or accept foreign government contributions.
