This 2018 graphic I found shows a history of unitemized individual contributions to Devin Nunes over various election cycles. Details of these small donations, like who made them, don't require FEC reporting.

Check out the enormous jump in 2018. But it gets even weirder...
That image must be from *mid* 2018. I went to the indicated FEC URL to verify the amounts. As it happens, he closed the 2018 cycle even further out-of-whack than normal, with a whopping $6.2M in those unitemized individual contributions... https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00370056/?cycle=2018
2016 cycle: $25,038
2018 cycle: $6,177,714

That's some increase. But raising [checks calculator] 24573.4% as much money in small donations as you did the previous election cycle isn't necessarily suspicious, right? Maybe people just really like Devin.
