        Perhaps I'm dense but I fail to see your point. In other words, welcome to American politics.

        Have you looked into HRC's nefarious funding methods ala Clinton 'Foundation'? If so, I stand corrected. Be well!

        the Clinton Foundation has been the source of some pretty good reporting. always need to look at that sort of thing.

        This is money he's lending to his campaign, which he may or may not reclaim. So of course it's unusual vs Clinton practices

        the money he loans to the campaign is a separate matter. these are payments by the campaign.

        not very much, actually. doesn't include $5 million for his plane or $423k for Mar-a-Lago, though.

        I was talking about whatever reporting period you initially used. I had assumed it was just May.
