The Clinton Donor Organiozation




Scale and complexity arise from the multiple channels that link Clinton donors to the Clintons: there is the stream of six-figure lecture fees paid to Bill and Hillary Clinton, mostly from large corporations and banks, which have earned them more than $125 million in the fifteen years since Bill Clinton left office in 2001. There are the direct payments to Hillary Clinton’s political campaigns, including for the Senate in 2000 and for the presidency in 2008 and now in 2016, which had reached a total of $712.4 million as of September 30, 2015, the most recent figures compiled by Open Secrets. Four of the top five sources of these funds are major banks: Citigroup Inc, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase & Co, and Morgan Stanley. The Clinton campaign meanwhile has set a goal of raising $1 billion for her Super PAC for the 2016 election.


And this does not include the over one billion in donations to the Clinton Foundation!

Owns one of the biggest lobbying firms in DC.

They represent big banks, big pharma and Saudi Arabia.

His brother is the co-owner of the firm and one of the biggest bundlers for her campaign. He's also one of the most powerful super lobbyists in DC.

The stink of corruption is practically unbearable.
