Is Skinner (co-founder of DU) not being transparent about his financial support for Hillary Clinton?

[pantsonfire]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Autumn (a host of the Bernie Sanders group).

It was hidden by a jury on GD-P and reposting it is tempting a ban, but I value transparency. And if some of the profits (if this website makes any through its advertising) goes only towards Hillary Clinton, I'd like to know.

Alerter's Comments: Pretty fucking rude and inappropriate. At least they will see this alert. Hidden 5-2

However, what most folks at DU probably don't yet know is that Skinner has a big financial connection to the Hillary Clinton campaign via his wife, Shelly Moskwa, who served as a Clinton campaign treasurer during her 2008 presidential campaign and is still receiving payments from the current Hillary campaign. Federal Election Commission documents as well as Open Secrets available on the web reveal those payments are substantial yet Skinner, in the interest of full disclosure, has never mentioned this to his fellow DUers and none have challenged him on this point...until recently.

Just a few days before dreamnightwind's latest post on this matter, the Federal Elections Commission released a document dated 03/24/16 revealing a 2015 year end statement on a payment to Shelly Moskwa from Hillary For America totaling $28,014. Scroll down the long list of payees until you reach "Moskwa, Shelly" to find yet another payment that Skinner has yet to disclose.

When will Skinner reveal his wife's work with that same campaign and how much she (and he) have benefitted financially from that connection? Why is Skinner so reluctant to make this revelation in the interest of full disclosure?

1. I'm not really sure his preference would affect much

aside from pardoning those who were banned or timed-out.

I despise Hillary, but shouldn't we all be able to have a preference? What nefarious acts are you assuming he's doing because of his preference?

2. This website profits in some way from advertising and I'm new here, so...

....I was unaware of the founder's big support of Hillary Clinton. If some of the money made from this website is only going towards the Hillary Clinton campaign, I'd sure as hell like to know, but they probably don't make that much money (or do they, does anyone know?).

They can answer or not in their forum. I don't think that people need to play a guessing game in here so I am locking this
