Wall Street Journal Reporter on Corporate Donors and State Dept Favors

His analysis found that 60 corporations lobbying the State Department had given $26 million to the foundation and participated in $2 billion worth of "commitments." The hosts argue this data confirms a systemic "scam" where charitable contributions were used to grease the wheels for favorable government treatment.
