I reckon. But one thing about the article that is troublesome, he makes a case without showing what donations Soro’s group or TeyRaysuh’s Tides Foundation actually gave to McCain’s institute.

In the 2005 filing, I noticed the following:

• A contribution of $713K, still anonymous.

• The mission of the group was changed from wanting “participation in elections” (rough quote from memory) to now supporting the mission I posted earlier (Climate Change, Immigration, Campaign Finance).

• Richard Davis being replaced as President on 12/16 by Amo Houghton of Alexandria, VA. Two additional directors added: Cheryl Perrin and Charlie Kolb. (Compensation “NONE” for all three)

• Two employees noted at $52K/$63K, respectively: Crystal Lee Benton, Communications Director. Winifred Walsh Strzelecki, Field Director.

• Listed as “Prof Serv.”: Caplin and Drysdale, “Legal Services,” $51,523 and John Raidt, “Consulting” $143,000 (P.O. box in Arlington, VA)

• Same statement included regarding non-disclosure of an “anonymous” donor.

• They put $375K of their donation into stock: SHS Coca-Cola Company for a sweet $19K short-term gain.

Without a subscription, I can’t view anything earlier than 2003. I could only view 2003, 2004, and 2005. Nothing more current is included on Guidestar:

Why is it - his staff left early on in the campaign - lack of funds and then in a moment - he’s back in business and rose to the top - funds no problem?
