Interesting tidbits digging on the GERMAN MARSHALL FUND of the US, like this morsel.
Wikileaks made the Sandlers and their grandchildren famous.

2019 - 2020 DONORS
$1 million and above
Sandler Foundation
2016 - Podesta paid $7,000 a month by top donor
In February of last year, as Podesta was working to lay the groundwork for Clinton’s soon-to-launch campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, he signed the contract with the Sandler Foundation, which was started by Herb Sandler and his late wife Marion Sandler.
The WikiLeaks cache shows that Podesta provided Sandler with philanthropic advice and assortments of cheeses and pastas as gifts on the holidays, while Sandler offered all manner of political observations and once tried to get Podesta to arrange for former President Bill Clinton to write a blurb for a book written by one of Sandler’s friends.
