Sorry, I am not locking.

And if y'all are reading this, after the shit that has been pulled here today about the Vatican visit, the gross, vile & sexist comments being justified about Jane Sanders, and the continued attempts to disqualify and discredit him, there is no way in hell that I am locking something as innocuous as this.

Get over your narcissistic selves.

4. That same day, Hillary Clinton will be attending a fundraiser

That same day, Hillary Clinton will be attending a fundraiser in the global financial capital of Hong Kong, hosted by Gary Gensler, her campaign’s Chief Financial Officer. Gensler walked through the revolving door from Wall Street to Washington’s financial regulatory system. Prior to heading up the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) regulation of derivative swaps, Gensler was a partner at Goldman Sachs. The fundraiser can only be attended by those willing to donate the maximum allowable contribution of $2,700.

6. Have we confirmed yet she will be accompanying Genser rather than just sending him alone

as a bag man, another question is the fundraiser sponsored by one of her 501(c)(4) orgs so she can receive undisclosed by name donations from say, Chinese nationals?

5. That is a bit unclear, some are saying she is sending her CFO to get the Chinese contributor's cash

So Until It is clear if she will also be going it may only be Gary Gensler, or it may be both of them.

As yet I have seen no solid confirmation that she will be accompanying him or any solid confirmation she will not.

8. Is the Chinese event sponsored by one of her 501(c)(4)s, (they don't have to disclose names)

So names of Foreign nationals would be invisible if such were the case, am I correct or just wildly guessing here?

11. Either it is for Citizens abroad keeping an eye on their sweat shops or Chinese money

Depends on if the event is sponsored by one of her 501(c)(4)s so she can receive undisclosed by name donations from say, Chinese nationals? Not as clear as Hilary on how to get foreign donations, but with my limited information, all she need to do is use a fundraising source exempt from disclosing names and sources of donations I believe (need an accountant to confirm this) that a 501(c)(4) entity can do this, she does have those as well as several PACs.

Money & #panamapapers? How convenient would it be to mask donors, via 501c4, potentially affiliated with these companies?
