Obama lackey John Podesta who founded the far left Center for American Progress is about as transparent as Obama. The Center of American Progress has been hiding it’s donor lists for month. Finally, today they were shamed into releasing a partial list of donors. Problem is Podesta’s Center for American Progress isn’t accounting for over $5 million in donations from ‘anonymous sources.’ Podesta will likely be a big part of Hillary Clinton’s run next year, if the old granny does in fact run. Wonder if she’ll get questions about her buddy Podesta’s missing $5 million. Funny too that you don’t hear a peep out of the IRS over this. Center for American Progress is a tax-exempt corporation like all those tea party groups that were denied status by the Obama/Lois Lerner IRS. Different standards for different ideologies.

| Center for American Progress won’t account $5 million donations |

The Center for American Progress, the liberal think tank whose founder, John Podesta, is a key adviser to President Obama and likely will take a top post in Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, made a big show Wednesday of releasing its 2014 donor list in response to complaints about a lack of transparency.
But the list is anything but complete.
At least three donors gave $1 million or more, but they are named only as “Anonymous.”
In total, the CAP list includes 28 anonymous donors accounting for at least $5 million in donations.
The list, reported by Washington Post blogger Greg Sargent, includes several familiar corporate and foundation names, such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Embassy of the United Arab Emirates, who each gave between $500,000 and $999,999.
Apple, Google, Microsoft and Walmart each gave between $100,000 and $499,999. Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, PepsiCo and Time Warner all donated between $50,000 and $99,999.
