I wonder if the IRS is paying attention to these things or does it take a "whistle blower" to get the ball rolling?

I was particularly interested in this part of the release too. What did we give up to get this?

Jimenez and his company have contributed several hundred thousand dollars to the Democratic Party and other causes, including restoring Clinton's birthplace. Jimenez met with Clinton over coffee at the White House and played golf with him.

He has said that he has asked nothing in return for his contributions.

In 1997, the White House confirmed that Jimenez provided the administration with information alerting it to the possibility of a military coup in Paraguay. The United States took steps with the Organization of American States to avert the coup. Future Tech does business in Paraguay.

Jimenez reportedly gave $100,000 to the DNC the day after the coup attempt began. The White House said at the time there was no link between the donation and administration policies affecting Paraguay.
