The Clinton Foundation, after seeing a drop in donations amid increased scrutiny and "pay-to-play" allegations, is revving back up with a glitzy fundraising gala that coincides with a broader push by the Clinton machine to stay in the political spotlight.
Axios reported Monday that longtime Clinton supporters received an invitation offering access -- a word that dogged Hillary Clinton throughout her failed 2016 presidential campaign -- to the family at a May 24 benefit for the Clinton Foundation. The cheapest tickets for the event will be $2,500 for cocktails and dinner. Deep-pocketed donors can lay out $100,000 for a package including “leadership reception for two, a premium table of 10, program recognition as Gala Chair and invitations to the Clinton Foundation Annual Briefing.”
The invite features photos of Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, implying they'll all be attending.
The foundation scaled back its activities in 2016, downsizing the Clinton Global Initiative and placing restrictions on fundraising amid claims of “pay-to-play” by donors seeking access when Clinton was secretary of state. The Clintons denied any such arrangements.
The biggest such controversy related to the sale of Uranium One -- a Canadian-based energy firm and holder of 20 percent of U.S. uranium stocks -- to Russian energy company Rosatom during Clinton’s time as secretary of state. The connections between the sale of Uranium One and donations to the foundation were first reported by author Peter Schweizer in his 2015 book "Clinton Cash."

Boy are they in for a rude awaking.
Now if the DOJ would just get off its bu**
Sounds like Hitlery thinks she is going to run again.
Keep talking Hitlery.
Don’t worry, that paragon of electoral morality Mr. Robert S. Mueller III will be right on the case to enforce the election laws of the Federal Union on them!
Best of luck to the Clintons. They’re no longer in a position to quid pro quo. Thank you Sweet Jesus.
When billions Aren’t Enough scammers keep scamming...
This reminds me, I forgot to make any donations to the Clintons.
I also forgot to buy carbon credits from Al Gore.
My bad..............
Just think of all the tax deducts you missed out on. lol
This might suggest they’ve gotten the word that Milquetoast Sessions won’t be doing anything to spoil their money parties.
Not too sure about that last item. It isn't good to Know Too Much about the Clinton Foundation.
So she’s running again?
Support Free Republic, Folks!
And just today, Full of Schiff got on tv and said about Mueller investigation, “It’s not Trump’s collusion we’re worried about, it’s his money laundering!”. I’m not allowed to hate anyone but the devil and his demons, but I surely do hate the evil that Schiff, et al, commit.
Amen to that.
No one wants access to old what’s her face the loser now to pay the bribes that the Clintons were accustomed to receiving. I recall several months ago she was on a book tour where all you had to pay was the cost of her wretched book - Still way too much money in my opinion.
Not really trying to get back in business, more likely they’re being pressurized by their prior bribers, I mean donors, to keep alive, so that these ‘donors’ can give money now, and thus have some deniability regarding the pay-to-play indictments that are about to come out of the Little Rock investigation.
With the money laundering scheme, I mean ‘foundation’, back in business, the ‘donors’ can claim that they only donated money to serve the ‘good deeds’ of the foundation...never to ‘buy influence’.
