From a comment on another site:

I never realized how deep Warren's fundraising ties run with David Brock's.

Looking up names I don't recognize from Warren's donor list...
- Thorton & Naumes, a law firm in Boston, Warren's #6. Top recipient of donations from this firm is "American Bridge 21st Century" - a Brock outfit.
- Nuance Communications, a Boston software company, Warren's #9. Top recipient of donations from this company is "American Bridge 21st Century"
- Ropes & Gray, lobbying/law firm, Warren's #12. Top recipient of donations from this firm is... you guessed it, Brock's "American Bridge 21st Century".
- Berger & Montague, more of the same.

So the top four Warren contributors who aren't well-known big name organizations all also give more to Brock than to anyone else. All four of them. What are the odds of this being coincidence?

I notice you took your other post down which made the same mistake of confusing PAC donations with individual donations.

Let me repeat what I said there:

You are confusing PACs with individual donors.

For example, Thorton and Naumes PAC gave zero dollarsto Senator Warren
Nuance PAC gave zero dollars to Senator Warren
Ropes & Gray PAC gave zero dollars to Senator Warren
Berger & Montague PAC gave zero dollars to Senator Warren.

The money donated came from individuals who work there, not PACs. Those individuals supported Warren w donations.

Please consider self-delete like you did with the other post.
