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" :)
