DALY CITY, Calif. -- One of the biggest sources of political donations to Hillary Rodham Clinton is a tiny, lime-green bungalow that lies under the flight path from San Francisco International Airport.
Six members of the Paw family, each listing the house at 41 Shelbourne Ave. as their residence, have donated a combined $45,000 to the Democratic senator from New York since 2005, for her presidential campaign, her Senate re-election last year and her political action committee. In all, the six Paws have donated a total of $200,000 to Democratic candidates since 2005, election records show.
That total ranks the house with residences in Greenwich, Conn., and Manhattan's Upper East Side among the top addresses to donate to the Democratic presidential front-runner over the past two years, according to an analysis by The Wall Street Journal of donations listed with the Federal Election Commission.
It isn't obvious how the Paw family is able to afford such political largess. Records show they own a gift shop and live in a 1,280-square-foot house that they recently refinanced for $270,000. William Paw, the 64-year-old head of the household, is a mail carrier with the U.S. Postal Service who earns about $49,000 a year, according to a union representative. Alice Paw, also 64, is a homemaker. The couple's grown children have jobs ranging from account manager at a software company to "attendance liaison" at a local public high school. One is listed on campaign records as an executive at a mutual fund.
The Paws' political donations closely track donations made by Norman Hsu, a wealthy New York businessman in the apparel industry who once listed the Paw home as his address, according to public records. Mr. Hsu is one of the top fund-raisers for Mrs. Clinton's presidential campaign.

It's called "funnelling." Some of these "obscure citizens" may not know they're donating, or may not even exist at all.

Outstanding thread! Truth, FReedom BUMP!
Probably selling kilos of pot for the cause. God bless ‘em.
“There is a Peter Tan who also appears to be residing in that house and is listed as the Agent for Service of Process for a business located in the residence. Here are his donations. (sourced at newsmeat.com) Coincidence?

Absolutely. :)
I’ve been trying to locate these companies online to see their financial statements, but no joy so far. I’m interested especially in “Next Components.”
Anyone have sources on what Mark Belling is talking about a/f/a either “Paw” or “Hsu” being felons/fugitives/wanted etc?
Have a look at this:

Maybe it’s their pa-paw.
thanks, thanks, and thanks.
You’re welcome!
When the campaign “returns” donations, do they also return the matching money from the Feds?
As mentioned on the other post, you could churn 100,000 into millions if you just keep loaning it out for another donation that’s matched by the money provided by the feds.
What idiots check that box on their return, anyway?
“When the campaign returns donations, do they also return the matching money from the Feds?”
Dunno.
