George Soros in December donated $6 million to the leading super PAC supporting Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, marking the return of the billionaire financier as among the biggest givers in all of American politics.
The massive check brings to $8 million the Hungarian-born investor's total 2015 giving to pro-Clinton groups.
The super PAC that received the $6-million check, Priorities USA Action, raised $25 million in the second half of 2015, according to a report it filed Sunday evening with the Federal Election Commission. The haul brings the PAC’s tally to $41 million for the year, and left it with a strong $36 million in the bank headed into the year.

Guess different rules apply to Soros...
Damn, man. Why don’t near-fossile Nazi sympathizing control freaks die in clumps of three like celebritoes do?
Is that going to make America a better country with freedom for all?
Her bein' po' an' all.
That means there’s no way in Hell that Obama will let the inJustice Department prosecute Hillary for the email crimes.
You misspelled Trump. ;)
Hmm...so if I register Rat and vote for Bernie in the primary would God forgive me?
Evil old satanic POS shoved O down our throats for 8 years of sedition sabotage and destruction -— and now & more years with Hillary? ! Pray for America please
Soros is still alive, the vile communist that he is.
“Forget Soros. Leave him alone. He’s got enough problems. What about Soros, let’s talk about somebody else, sweetheart”
Quiz: which current candidate for President made the above comment in 2011 at a Florida Tea a Party rally?
“Damn, man. Why don’t near-fossile Nazi sympathizing control freaks die in clumps of three like celebritoes do?”
Yeah, we should pay that anti-ISIS sniper over in Libya to come here for an all expense paid “vacation,” with a Barrett .50 for him as a “gift” when he arrives.
Soros gave to a PAC. No limits.
D’Souza gave cash to individuals and then told them to give it to a CANDIDATE. Limit of $10k per person applies.
CHUMP CHANGE, compared to the return he’ll get on his “Investment” should Hillary win.
It’s also CHUMP CHANGE compared to the ONE BILLION DOLLARS Tom Steyer has vowed to sped getting Democrats elected in 2016.
But, EVIL KOCH BROTHERS!!!!!, doncha’ know...
Yes, I know. Unlimited $ for PACs.
D’Souza tried to give via another person. Pretty stupid on his part to get caught for that, right? I mean, hand someone cash and what they do with it is up to them. To get nailed for that they needed a paper trail and someone willing to flip on D’Souza.
But they were probably monitoring all his calls and emails after he became such an outspoken Obama critic. Finally caught him. We know they ‘weaponized’ the IRS, so wouldn’t put it past them.
Steyer doesn't have that kind of money
#1190 Thomas Steyer $1.61 Billion Forbes 400
Money isn’t helping Jeb! get any votes.
Social media is cheap. Twitter, Facebook, and websites like Drudge. The huge ad spends are getting older folks, but mostly are a money burn.
Charles and David Koch #5 44 Billion each
How can someone violate campaign rules? Is there not a limit? Here is what I found:
Presidential Campaigns
The contribution limits work a little differently for Presidential campaigns. In the case of a Presidential candidate running in various State primaries, you may contribute up to $2,700 for the entire primary campaign period—not $2,700 for each State primary in which the candidate runs.
Your contributions may be supplemented with Federal (U.S. Treasury) funds. If a Presidential primary candidate has qualified for the Federal matching fund program, up to $250 of your total contributions to that candidate may be matched with Federal funds. To qualify for matching, contributions must be in the form of a check or other written instrument. (Note that some contributions are not matchable, such as currency, loans, goods and services, and any type of contribution from a political committee.)
In the general election, however, you may not make any contributions to the campaigns of Democratic or Republican nominees who receive Federal funds. (Federal funding in the general election takes the form of direct government grants rather than matching payments.) You may nevertheless designate a contribution of up to $2,700 to the candidate’s compliance fund, a special account used to pay for certain legal and accounting expenses. You may also contribute up to $2,700 to the general election campaign of any Presidential candidate who is not a Federally funded Democratic or Republican nominee.
Federal funds used in Presidential elections come from the dollars voluntarily checked off by taxpayers on their Federal income tax returns. (The checkoff does not affect the total amount of taxes paid or any refund due.)

A five-dollar rope will boost her just perfectly.
