Donors used online forms thousands of times while contributing small amounts to the failed Democratic presidential candidate
Sherri Berthrong retired as a lawyer after 37 years at the Department of Justice (DOJ) in 2015, but that didn’t end her ability to influence the government. Beginning June 1, 2016, she made a small contribution to Hillary Clinton every few days — right through the November 8 election.
Berthrong’s individual contributions averaged only $15.90 each and totaled $1,177, a tiny part of the record-setting $1.2 billion the former secretary of State spent in a losing campaign against Donald Trump, according to data compiled by opensecrets.org.

Lafayette Anderson, a supervisory administrative officer in the FBI’s Washington field office, clicked on the send button 113 times, beginning April 1, 2016.
Anderson, who lives in Glen Burnie, Maryland, contributed a total of $1,414 to Clinton, averaging $12.51 for each donation. Unlike Berthrong, however, Anderson often gave two and sometimes three times in a single day. – READ MORE
