Charitable

The headline says:

Clinton Says She's Donated All University Speaking Fees

And as you get into the story, you find out that she donated the fees to... her family foundation.

Ann Althouse asks a number of relevant questions, including, just for starters: "What is her salary from the foundation?"

The Washington Post reports that her standard fee is hefty:

'In one previously undisclosed transaction, the University of Connecticut — which just raised tuition by 6.5 percent — paid $251,250 from a donor fund for Clinton to speak on campus in April. Other examples include $300,000 to speak at the University of California at Los Angeles in March and $225,000 for a speech scheduled for October at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas.'

That's a lot to listen to anyone chatter,
but, at this point, what does it really matter?
