Clinton's Wall Street frenemies

The Washington Examiner reports:
Five of those banks have donated at least $100,000 and as much as $5 million to the Clinton Foundation, and a sixth bank, Wells Fargo, has given a smaller contribution to the charity.

Over the course of her Senate career, Hillary Clinton enjoyed enormous support from the nation's biggest banks. Four of her top five donors were on Sanders' list: Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley.

At least 20 of the bundlers who have racked up $100,000 or more for her 2016 campaign — a group of donors known as "Hillblazers" — have ties to Wall Street.

Executives with Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase are among her top campaign donors, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Firms such as Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Soros Fund Management appear on the list of donors for Priorities USA Action, a super political action committee supporting Hillary Clinton's campaign.
