Full Title:Dark Money Floods into Hillary Super PAC Sources of seven-figure contribution to pro-Clinton group are virtually untraceable
A Democrat-aligned super PAC financed by a pair of dark money groups wrote a seven-figure check to Hillary Clinton’s super PAC in June, infusing a key pro-Clinton outfit with money whose sources are virtually untraceable.
Fair Share Action (FSA) donated $1 million to pro-Clinton super PAC Priorities USA Action in late June, one of eight million-dollar contributions the pro-Clinton group has received so far this year from various sources.
FSA also gave $5,000 to another pro-Clinton super PAC in April.
The source of FSA’s money is nearly impossible to trace. It’s received just two contributions this year: $300,000 from Fair Share Inc., its 501(c)(4) dark money affiliate, and $800,000 from another dark money group called Environment America.
Fair Share and Environment America are part of an extensive network of political and nonprofit groups that supported Democrats during the 2014 election cycle. They are now pouring money into efforts to elect Hillary Clinton president.
Priorities USA Action is legally prohibited from coordinating with the Clinton campaign, but is expected to play a major role in boosting her candidacy. It received contributions from some of Clinton’s other top supporters this year, including media moguls Haim and Cheryl Saban and film studio executive Jeffrey Katzenberg.
Neither Environment America nor Fair Share disclose their individual donors, making it difficult to know who exactly is bankrolling their large contributions to Priorities. Neither organization returned a request for information on their finances.
Clinton has declared her opposition to that type of political financing. Her campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

Could this be, just perhaps, the missing State Dept billions being laundered back?
Oh come on. Everyone know it’s all those grandmas sending checks for $10 because they saw a sad photo of Chelsea in her $10 milion Manhattan penthouse, and feel sorry for the Clintons.
No way is this bribery money. No, not a dime.
I sincerely hope their money ends up being wasted. Sadly, it’s only the tip of the iceberg to the billions whoever providing the money has.
Dark money? Sounds racist!
Is this any relation to Dark Matter and Dark Energy?
