...Democrats last year: donations from Asian entrepreneurs such as James Riady and Johnny Chung. It seems clear that some of the bundles (collections of money from different sources given by one person or group) they gave came from foreign nationals, citizens or businesses. But these funds went to the DNC, not the Clinton-Gore campaign, and the law is at least murky on foreign contributions to parties. No obviously illegal activity here...
...fanciful ideal that morality and politics can exist in two separate spheres has recently been shattered. Last month the FBI revealed to the public that the Chinese government may have attempted to influence Congress and the Clinton Administration by contributing to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and individual politicians...
...Quid, No Quo: An embarrassed DNC is trying to return a $107,000 election donation from the Cheyenne-Arapa ho Tribe of Oklahoma, but the tribe doesn't want its money back.

Brushing off a report in The Washington Post on Sunday that he had strong-armed contributors, the Vice President said that he had actually felt "uncomfortable" pressing DNC supporters for donations. But he added that faced with superior Republican campaign financing, he had played "by the rules as they exist" so that what he "believed in" ? namely, the Administration's policies ? could be carried out in a second Clinton term. Maybe so, but the President apparently was more...
