Sure, sure. If Bill Gates gave $1 mil ist's nothing to him but what is it to ME? The average person would probably be tempted to murder someone in exchange for that

Sure. It highlights the corrupting influence wealthy people have over politics.

I'm just saying, Thiel giving a small (for him) donation to some random AG doesn't necessarily mean he's particularly interested in that race.

I would guess he has given equal or larger donations to many other politicians and political action committees.

I agree, especially since he gave the same amount to every State AG in the country. He did, right?

Do you have a list of Thiel's political donations? I'm genuinely curious.

I am willing to bet that he didn't give to all AGs in USA at least the same amount...

he gave all what he could - sounds different from "gave a small (for him) donation" :)
