13. link?
I have no idea what Guistra has/hasn't done. He's a donor, works with Clinton on a foundation of some kind, and my duaghter works for him.

But if it's some tangled convoluted past donor problem, like the Rezco thing, it makes zero difference.

11. NYT editorial board
has nothing to do with the editorial decisions of the news division. This is standard for newspapers. I don't know about the story, haven't read it yet.

5. I THINK it's the big donation Bill got for just showing up.
Being an ex-president is one of the great rackets of all time. Better than being Paris Hilton.
