Clinton shatters fundraising expectations, rakes in more than $100 million
AFP reports that one March 2011 email from Clinton advisor Sidney Blumenthal contains this tantalizing, but partially redacted quote allegedly from the United States ambassador to Germany: “Just for the record, if she does not already know, [redacted] is one of the biggest jerks in the foreign service”.

President Obama’s bold move on gun control bodes well for Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, who will score political points for supporting similar policies, experts told the Herald. Republican contenders Ben Carson and Ted Cruz raised $23 million and $19 million, respectively.
Clinton has acknowledged she exclusively used a private email account and private server while secretary of state, opting against a government account despite official recommendations. That money would help Clinton in the general election should she win the nomination.
“Thanks to the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have joined together and powered this historic campaign, we are now heading into Iowa and New Hampshire with the resources we need to be successful”, Robby Mook, Clinton’s campaign manager, said in a statement on Friday. That is only $2 million more than the $26.2 million the campaign had in the bank at the end of the third quarter of 2015, meaning Sanders’ operation spent the bulk of what they raised in the fourth quarter.
CNN reported earlier this week that Clinton raised at least $21 million at fundraisers she personally headlined in the fourth quarter of 2015, a number that nearly guaranteed she would break the $100 million goal. Sanders and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley follow with 31.2 percent and 4.6 percent respectively. “A quarter of the very highest earning taxpayers, those earning more than $250 million per year on average, pay a federal income tax rate of less than 20 percent”. But her campaign has also received a wave of smaller donations, particularly after Clinton’s testimony before the Benghazi committee in Congress and following her debate performances, aides said.

Sanders, by comparison, did not raise any money for the DNC a year ago, although his campaign has said it plans to fundraise on behalf of the national party.
