Ubi bene ibi patria
" Ivanka Trump is auctioning a private meeting over coffee for two people willing to pony up a huge contribution to her brother’s foundation.

The “meet and greet” on a mutually agreeable date next year at either Trump Tower in Manhattan or the Trump International Hotel in Washington will last up to 45 minutes, according to a description on Charitybuzz, which values the auction at $50,000.

The winning bid is good for two people, who must pass criminal background checks and be approved by the Secret Service. They’re also expected to “conduct themselves appropriately” with “polite manners” and “respect,” the description says. Proceeds will go to the Eric Trump Foundation, run by Ivanka’s brother, which supports St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

As of Monday, bidding had reached $23,000. The auction closes Dec. 20.

The auction appears to veer perilously close to the same kind of situation President-elect Donald Trump claimed existed at the Clinton Foundation. Trump lashed the foundation during his campaign, arguing that it was a way the wealthy could curry favor with Hillary Clinton through “pay to play” contributions while she was secretary of state. In Ivanka Trump’s case, the winning bidders could curry favor with a daughter who has the ear of a president-elect — and is active herself in his incoming administration. "

I have always heard about the renting the Lincoln bedroom thing, but never looked it up. Here you go from CNN. This is back when the media wasn't biased, and just reported the news. My, how times have changed!

Lincoln Bedroom Guests Gave $5.4 Million

WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, Feb. 26) -- President Bill Clinton's guests in the Lincoln Bedroom gave a total of at least $5.4 million to the Democratic National Committee during 1995 and 1996, according to a study for CNN by the Campaign Study Group.

Among the biggest donors were investor Dirk Ziff, who gave $411,000; movie producer Steven Spielberg, $336,000; retired businessman William Rollnick, $235,000; and Hollywood mogul Lew Wasserman, $225,000.
The CNN study found 24 overnight White House guests who gave $100,000 or more to the DNC. CNN's $5.4 million figure does not include money given to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, or any state party committees.
On Tuesday, the Clinton White House released the names of 800-plus people who stayed overnight in the Lincoln Bedroom, and the president defended the practice of inviting friends and supporters to stay overnight. The White House also released several hundred pages of documents, some with his handwritten notes from Clinton enthusiastically supporting the idea.

Uh Boy, do you know if Eric will only give 10% to St. Jude's or perhaps all 50K goes? Where's the news in this paste?

BOY Clinton, 10% or less to Charities from the CF. 90% in their personal pockets.
