I'm curious: donations to whom?
The FCC doesn't have campaigns, so any "donations" aren't campaign contributions.
- TaylorAlexander 8y ago“Who are your friends? Let me know and I’ll donate to them if....”
- dylan604 8y agoExactly. "A gift was made to xxx in your name". A bag with large $$$ printed on the side being handed over is just for the comics. In the real world, "donations" is just a word with multiple meanings.

- ocdtrekkie 8y agoIn the case of executive agencies like this, usually it's the revolving door effect. Such as Joshua Wright's cushy job with one of Google's law firms after his tenure as the FCC Commissioner. You guarantee that if someone takes care of X issue for you, they'll get a really high paying job with almost no actual work involved when you leave.
