Clinton
Tone-Deafness on Display

Bill
Clinton is hosting a swanky birthday party at the Clinton Foundation on Friday
— which costs as much as $250,000 to attend — but he doesn’t want the American
people to know who is on the guest list.
“Major
Donors Are Being Asked to Give $250,000 to Be Listed as a Chair For the Party,
$100,000 to Be Listed a Co-Chair, and $50,000 to Be Listed as a Vice-Chair,”
Politico reported Wednesday.
But
despite a steady stream of scandal spilling from the Clinton Foundation, the
Clintons continue to display a stunning level of indifference to bad optics.
As
Politico reports: "Foundation officials also would not say how much money
has been raised for the Rainbow Room fundraiser or from whom."
In
light of the recent Clinton Foundation scandals, this decision is truly
remarkable. In an interview with CBS News' Charlie Rose Monday, Bill Clinton
insisted, "We've been as transparent as we can be. And we've been more
transparent than any other foundation, more transparent than any other
foundation has ever been asked to be, and certainly more transparent than
anybody else in this line of work is."

exec says there's 'no question' donors got special treatment
The
foundation's decision not to release publicly the identity of the attendees of
Bill's birthday bash, however, paints a different and much more secretive
picture.
"The
Clinton Foundation's lack of disclosure surrounding this high-dollar event is
deeply troubling and makes a mockery of Bill Clinton's claim that the
foundation is 'as transparent as we can be,'" Jason Miller, senior
communications adviser to the Trump campaign, said in an official statement.
"Given
the evidence of corruption at Hillary Clinton's State Department, the American
people deserve to know who is cutting $250,000 and $100,000 checks to the
Clinton Foundation — and what they are being promised in return — while she
runs for the White House," he said.
