Unfortunately, that particular part of the story isn't considered "corruption" in today's system because that's basically what every national-level politician has to do to raise the funds for their campaigns. It's one of the big reasons that congress seems to never get anything done - they spend more time making appearances for donors than they do actually legislating.

so if you make a large donation to the clinton foundation (or through DNC), you get access. this would include any foreign government or entity. that is a violation of campaign finance rules, and a felony.

I'm not sure that's true. I mean, I'm not telling you that you're wrong, but what I meant with my earlier comment was that they seek out donors in general, not necessarily foreign entities. If that's what's going on and I missed that, I'm sorry I misunderstood.
