Let me preface by stating that I believe we should be following FBIAnon's leads, as a majority have led to sound connections, and at the very least a wrong lead is a lead into acquiring more general information. For this reason, I am harking back to this post into moving forward with our investigation. My previous investigations into his leads can be found here and here. Now we will be investigating lead #6 on that list, The Bonner Group.
The Bonner Group is a corporation that performs the task of Donation Advising, or DA. For a price, they manage your fundraising and open doors to prominent donors to bring money back to you. The Bonner Group's DA comes with a steep price, one of the highest industry, generally a 12.5% cut, when getting paid on commission is frowned upon in the industry, even being named unethical by the Association of Fundraising Professionals. Two of their largest clients are our very own Hillary Clinton and a man named David Brock.
In this campaign cycle, The Bonner Group has earned a cut in excess of $6 million while opening doors for donors to invest in Hillary. However many of these donors were unaware The Bonner's received a cut of their contributions, upsetting many prominent donors who thought their money was going to the candidate, not someone in between. However, David Brock is much larger fish for her corporation.
David Brock runs a number of superPACs and nonprofits, all donating to Hillary and her supporting groups, and performing much more work otherwise. He is a member of the board of Priorities USA, the largest Democratic superPAC, president of the American Independent Institute, funding journalism negative of conservative actions, and owns Blue Nation Review, Media Matters, and American Bridge. A prominent donor to these organizations is George Soros, donating $1 million to American Bridge alone. American Bridge also runs a 501(c)(4) organization, focused on donation transparency of Republican candidates, even though it does not reveal it's own donors. Concerning when $3.7 million has flown from it back to it's superPAC in the last two years, allowing anonymous donation on a grand scale.
American Bridge is also responsible for something I'm sure we're all aware of, a project called Correct the Record, which originated as a branch of American Bridge before splitting off as it's own superPAC. The distinction may as well not have been made, noting Correct the Record, Media Matters, and American Bridge all share the same offices. Correct the Record's largest contributor is the Clinton Campaign, and closely communicates with the campaign on it's own website, a loophole that allows it to escape FEC regulation. This allows a middle chain for the campaign and it's superPACs, eroding long standing regulations.
Looping back to The Bonner Group however, David Brock and the corporation's founder Mary Bonner are much closer than that. The two are so close as to share a house in the Hamptons. The Bonner Group takes large cuts from sourcing donors for all of the Clinton's organizations, as well as from David Brock, sourcing large amounts of money that is able to be anonymously funneled into all related organizations, all while sharing closely linked communications with each other and the possibility of money laundering from one group to another.
I believe this expands upon The Bonner Group lead sufficiently, opening broader avenues of research into the matter. Large amounts of anonymous money flowing from one hand to another and providing a close chain of communication between the campaign and it's donors raises concerning suspicion. Investigating into naming these anonymous donors will prove difficult, but likely fruitful.

It's all about money laundering for all that pizza.
