Our latest group journalism, or crowdsourcing project, asks you to dig into the details of Hillary Clinton’s and Rudy Giuliani’s latest campaign finance statements and find out what’s interesting, unusual or funny. You can post your findings in this comments section for us and everyone else to see.
How to do it: We’re asking you to go directly to the Federal Election Commission records. Here are explicit directions so you don’t get lost.

-In the space beside “Partial Name of Committee” type in “giuliani presidential” (if you just type Giuliani, you could end up with the wrong filing)
-Ignore everything else and just hit enter (or click “send query” at the bottom)-On the next page, click the first link that says “view” (it should say “OCT QUARTERLY” on the right)
