From a comment on another site:
I never realized how deep Warren's fundraising ties run with David Brock's.

Looking up names I don't recognize from Warren's donor list...
- Thorton & Naumes, a law firm in Boston, Warren's #6. Top recipient of donations from this firm is "American Bridge 21st Century" - a Brock outfit.
- Nuance Communications, a Boston software company, Warren's #9. Top recipient of donations from this company is "American Bridge 21st Century"
- Ropes & Gray, lobbying/law firm, Warren's #12. Top recipient of donations from this firm is... you guessed it, Brock's "American Bridge 21st Century".
- Berger & Montague, more of the same.

So the top four Warren contributors who aren't well-known big name organizations all also give more to Brock than to anyone else. All four of them. What are the odds of this being coincidence?
