Since we're going to have to discuss these contributions, apparently, probably best to discuss one of the sticking points: bundled contributions.
A FAQ on bundled contributions:

So, let's look at the fec filing of
bundled contributions to Hillary for America, which are at issue.
1. Ankit N. Desai, Cheniere Energy, $82,000.00
Mr. Desai is a
Vice President of Cheniere Energy, a fossil fuel company heavily involved in fracking and natural gas exports.
2. Steve Elmendorf, Elmendorf/Ryan, $141,815.00
Mr. Elmendorf is a named partner in the lobbying firm of Elmendorf/Ryan. Elmendorf/Ryan does have many clients -
including oil companies, Monsanto, and Citigroup. Shell Oil is definitely one of his larger clients according to the lobbying disclosures act database.
3. David Jones, Capitol Counsel, $120,675.00
Clients include Atlas Energy (an oil and gas production group), XCEL Energy (a utility group, including natural gas utility companies), and Chevron Corp.
4. Bruce Thompson, Parker Poe, $19,400.00
Mr. Thompson is an attorney in the firm of Parker Poe. Parker Poe does a great deal of Oil and Gas law, but I don't think the $19,400.00 number should be ascribed to the fossil fuel industry.
That's page 1.
