They are counting the people who noted that they work for those entities.

No. When they calculated the contribution of public agencies, they lumped individual contributions together by where individuals WORK. For instance, a university didn't make a campaign contribution. Faculty at a University DID, out of their personal income, and all of their donations were lumped together by their place of employment. A university or a federal department or agency can't make a campaign contribution by law. For profit corporations (businesses) don't have those restrictions.

So It wasn't the state department and the Department of justice and DHHS, it was Hillary Clinton and Eric Holder and Sibelius.
