Unbelievable when you search for Vet and you get the various emails that the sent back and forth with their commentary about if the Donor was good or bad. You can see how the bundle the money and try to play games on how to get the best way to process the donation. Now this is the legitimate donations but you know there are bigger games being played.

Where is the FEC and we know where the Justice department is located.

Here is a great example of a bundler for the DNC. Lawrence Benenson from NYC. https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/14649

Can’t remember. Nuts – but if we get the $50K, I’ll take it. (Dan: sorry I keep forgetting to copy you on stuff. I am easily confused.) >

You just have to let us know when to look so we can enter it in the system. As for Lawrence, you’ll recall I got that stupid baseball signed in May of 2014. Happy to try to get another done. Bless you for dealing with him. <>

He is sending me a letter and a baseball that he hopes we might get signed on one of those dates. (The one he got in 2008, before the election, was stolen.) Separately, I’m hoping for a six-figure wire from Eric Schoenberg in the next few days. Please pre-vet both of those so the wires come thru without an issue. Both have, of course, given to us before – Eric just a few weeks ago. Thanks! Andy <>

Good stuff, thanks.

Also like the bundler talking behind the donor’s back “stupid baseball..”

Wonder who the donor expected them to get to sign it if he donated?

First off: I *don't* know if this is the same Lawrence Benenson.

[Caption:] "Lawrence Benenson. Barry Bergdoll with Lawrence Benenson, a MoMA trustee. Mr. Benenson got Pee-wee to sign a baseball for him."

"Pee Wee" here is Pee-wee Herman.

Forgot to post the signed baseball from Pee wee Herman: "Hi Lawrence! I'm not sorry."
