Financial Consultant contributions to the John Bolton Super PAC

Nineteen receipts carrying four million dollars

19 lines totaling $4,000,000 is a sparse, large-check join. Mean $210,526 is arithmetic on those two integers. A few max-scale itemized gifts can dominate the total. The packet has no median and no unique-donor count.

29.0% of Financial Consultant itemized dollars landed here. $9,786,562 (71.0%) went to other federal committees that stored the same occupation string—candidate committees, party committees, and other PACs.

FINANCIAL CONSULTANT as typed

The occupation-wide total is $13,786,562. Consultant, wealth advisor, and registered investment adviser can exist as other strings. They are not inside $13,786,562 unless stored as FINANCIAL CONSULTANT. Licensing is not an FEC field.

A filer can list Financial Consultant and never appear in $4,000,000. A filer can list another occupation on C00542464 and sit outside this join. Both absences are expected.

Quote Financial Consultant for the occupation-wide $13,786,562 and quote JOHN BOLTON SUPER PAC (C00542464) for the committee overlay. The overlap remains $4,000,000 across 19 itemized receipts, 29.0% of the occupation book, mean $210,526. Remainder $9,786,562 (71.0%) went to other federal committees that stored the same occupation string. All occupations and All FEC ties keep the pair in the index. Itemized individual contributions only; independent expenditures are outside the source note. Later FEC bulk files override this snapshot. Do not add $4,000,000 to $13,786,562. Do not treat 19 as unique donors.

C00542464 on the committee side

JOHN BOLTON SUPER PAC is the recipient name. $4,000,000 is the Financial Consultant occupation slice, not the committee’s total from all occupations and not the committee’s independent-expenditure total.

The source note excludes independent expenditures. Ads paid by a super PAC are a different FEC schedule. This page groups itemized individual contributions by occupation and recipient committee. Cycle year is not in the packet.

Amended Schedule A filings move $4,000,000 and $13,786,562. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. This /ties/ page is a join snapshot, not a substitute for the occupation hub or the committee file on FEC.gov. Coverage stops at itemized individual contributions grouped by occupation and recipient committee. Unitemized gifts never enter either integer.

What the join will not claim

Do not treat financial consultants as a foreign-policy bloc because $4,000,000 is large relative to 19. Do not invert 29.0% into the occupation’s share of the PAC. That inversion needs the PAC’s all-occupation total, which is not here.

Motive, bundling, and advisory-client influence are not fields. Correlation of a finance title with a named super PAC is a filing pattern, not causation.
