I always thought it was illegal for foreigners to contribute to candidates running for office in the USA. I suppose there is a way around this if the contribution is to some entity not directly connected the the candidate. It will be interesting to see how much play this gets in the main stream media. I would guess not much.

Methinks it's time for an IRS audit of moveon.org

As well as a FEC investigation:

Foreign money can me used, and it is untracable. They can only use the money for campaign ads if the donor's name is submitted to the FEC. Other than that they can do anything they want with it. This bill is so distructive to democracy. I just makes me shiver.

The 527s are easily moldable due to their relationship to the FEC and IRS - both bodies that can make administrative rules. If moveon.org is doing what I think they are and funneling foreign donors to the 527 groups, the IRS can make a determination that those funds violate the 527 status.
