BILL OREILLY (HOST): But Trump, he did accept money from other people who donated to him and he put it in his foundation. They knew it was going in the foundation. Same thing with Hillary and Bill Clinton. Same thing. You donated to the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Foundation doled the money out. So what's the difference here? 

[...] 

OREILLY: But I don't understand the controversy. Because if the Clinton Foundation gets money from a guy in Kazakhstan and then gives it to somebody in Haiti, the Haitian people don't know who the guy is in Kazakhstan is. Isn't it the same thing? 

ERIC SHAWN: Yeah, I guess it is. 

OREILLY: Ok alright? So I don't get the big scandal. This is not a partisan deal. 

[...]

OREILLY: I have to tell you I have looked at this case and nothing is going to come of this, this Florida case. And the other one, you know, I think it's to be fair, should be very upfront about your foundations. All right? If you are given other people's money, you should tell people this isn't my personal money coming to you. This is a guy in Kazakhstan named Rudy, okay, who once knew Marco Polo and then he gave money to me.
