#1 The sums mentioned, IMO, can't account for the expenses.

#2 The money from the large donors was used for the "matching donations" pledges in the fundraising push directed at the rank and file lib contributors.

#6 "Surprising to WHOM?"
Jeez, people! Get it correctly! Being pedantic is so tiring.
By the way, that's the big contributors. Anyone check the small to medium contributors to see if they're using unalive names and addresses as a cover?

Thank you sir for saving me the trouble. That's one of the many faux pas that I've beaten out of my kids....now working on grand kids.

#9 I went through that with trailing daughter #2, who takes after her father, alanc. She early grasped the idea that others would take her thoughts more seriously if she presented them with proper grammar and spelling, rather than assuming she didn’t know what she was doing because of such surface considerations. So much sense did this make to her that in high school she edited all her friends’ writings to ensure they got the grades their work deserved, too. I was so proud!

#10 BTW, the funders of illegal protests, trespassing, destruction of property and so forth are not probably being investigated by the FBI. This is because those funders also fund Democratic party candidates.

This was the case with groups funding the protests against the police training facility in Fulton County Atlanta. Many of them were active in funding Democrat candidates in GA or funding activists like Stacy A. in her various orgs.
