Money moving between committees under the same person is real money, but it neither entered nor left the group. Each transfer puts another committee name between a donor and whatever the money finally paid for, so the filed contributor list at the far end names a committee rather than anybody who gave. The donor column below follows those transfers back to whoever paid in from outside.

Followed past committee-to-committee transfers to whoever originated the money, not whoever wrote the check.

Everyone these committees paid, pooled and largest first. A vendor paid by several of them is one row.
