See<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Mellon_Scaife" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Mellon_Scaife</a><p>who funded many right-wing causes including the investigations of Clinton that led to Clinton's impeachment.<p>Those of us who thought American politics was like pro wrestling circa 2000 were amused to see that Clinton became close friends with Scaife later and that Clinton even spoke at Scaife's funeral. As I see it, the bogus attacks from the right served Clinton's 'triangulation' strategy because by being the recipient of right wing attacks he proved his left wing credentials without doing anything for the left.
