FEC Report 2/5/2016 Just thru December, Wall St. Donated $21.4 mill to Hillary's campaign

Last edited Thu Feb 4, 2016, 05:31 PM - Edit history (1)

[blockquotefilings from the Federal Election Commission, reported Thursday on the full tally of the money her campaign is receiving from Wall street, “a sign of her deep and lasting relationships with banking and investment titans”

Through the end of December, donors at hedge funds, banks, insurance companies and other financial-services firms had given at least $21.4 million to support Clinton’s 2016 presidential run — more than one of every 10 dollars of the $157.8 million contributed to back her bid, according to an analysis of Federal Election Commission filings by The Washington Post.

[...]

In all, donors from Wall Street and other financial-services firms have given $44.1 million to support Hillary Clinton’s campaigns and allied super PACs....

There is also Hillary's personal profiteering:

On top of the funding her campaign, “she personally earned more than $3.7 million for delivering paid speeches to banks and other financial-services firms since leaving the State Department in 2013, personal financial disclosures show,” the Post reports.

that she got most of her money from small donations? I guess that Wall St. has an awful lot of them, or maybe Clinton was not telling the truth. You think? NAH! The Queen never lies to her subjects.
