Hillary Clinton has ties to both Cerebus and DynCorp. Cerebus gave $40,628 to her campaign. Source - https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/summary.php?id=D000021907&cycle=2016 / http://archive.is/lQ3qR

The second sentence is not evidence of the first. Anyone can make donate political contributions and when you do, you have to include your job title and your employer. That is how Open Secrets is able to say Cerebus Capital gave this much money. You need not have any connection to the candidate or the candidate to you to make a donation.
If you look at the Totals Tab from your link you see that Cerebus gave 1 million dollars to Republican recipients and $400,000 to Democratic recipients, so it doesn't seem to be a particularly Clinton Aligned company. Paul Ryan got almost as much contributions as Hillary did. If you look at total contributions to Republican presidential candidates, the donations to Clinton are dwarfed 65% to 35%.

Cerberus owns Dyncorp. As described here in a list of misconduct by them.

Yes, republicans are implicated in pizzagate. That is not surprising, and this is not about only Hillary. It is much larger than that.

There is no contradiction in Cerberus' donation to both parties, that's how corruption works. Donald Rumsfeld defended Dyncorp and was also a warmongering piece of shit.
