Mark Shannon: Clinton Funny Money?

Blogger Mark Shannon: "Hillary Clinton's campaign has generated hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions from some of the poorest neighborhoods in New York City's Chinatown. The Los Angeles Times reports an April fundraiser in an area known for its gritty urban poverty churned out a whopping $380,000 dollars. The Times says at least one Chinatown donor has denied making a $1,000 contribution recorded in his name. Another who donated $2,500 appears to be ineligible to do so under federal election law. And many donors could not be tracked down using property, telephone or business records. Gee, nobody smells a rat here, do they?" (Has the Clinton campaign taken its lead from Gene Stipe and David Walters?)
