15. This one, about the $23 million, really puzzles me:

"Regarding the un-itemized receipts listed on Line 17(a)(ii) of the Detailed Summary Page, the Committee hereby confirms that the aggregate total for the election cycle for each un-itemized contribution included in the Line 17(a)(ii) total is under the applicable $200 threshold."

How do we really know that is true? They already erred (intentionally or unintentionally) regarding the excessive contributions over $2700 or $5400 (for a couple), so if those were excessive we really can't be sure that the $200 "in aggregate" is accurate.

If they're un-itemized no one knows just who those under $200 contributions came from and how do they know how to aggregate them?

Finally, on the accuracy and the statement "the Committee hereby confirms....", when a Committee sends it's monthly or quarterly report to the FEC, they "hereby confirm....." that the report is accurate. Obviously that wasn't true.
