Manchester, New Hampshire (CNN)A super PAC spending millions of dollars to bash Ted Cruz's Republican rivals is shielding the names of many of its top donors and strategists, accepting and directing donations through a particularly high number of hard-to-trace companies, new documents reveal.
Stand for Truth, Inc., an emerging player in the orbit of often clashing constellation of pro-Cruz super PACs, recently pledged to air more than $4 million in television ads to back Cruz in Iowa and South Carolina. Super PACs can accept unlimited contributions but are required to disclose their financial backers.
The twist here is that Stand for Truth has accepted more than $1 million in donations from corporations or limited liability companies, whose funders are difficult to uncover, meaning the original source of the campaign cash is hidden. While corporations can make donations to super PACs, an LLC allows individual donors to steer cash through easy-to-register, self-owned organizations.
"LLCs seem to be a new vehicle for laundering money into elections," said Paul Ryan, a campaign finance reformer worried about donors essentially using them as shell companies to transfer cash anonymously. "It's really hard to find out about LLCs. That's one of the reasons they've become popular."
Stand for Truth has largely operated quietly, not responding to questions about new television advertisements from media .....
SNIP
.....No leadership beyond the treasurer who filed its federal elections forms, a former counsel to Mitch McConnell named Eric Lycan, has publicly identified itself. Lycan has not responded to repeated requests for comment from CNN about the group's activities, and he declined to talk by phone this week. He did say in an email on Friday that the group was run by "consultants from across the country committed to electing a courageous conservative as our next President."

She is one interesting lawyer! Did you know that she sat on a Council on Foreign Relations task force for the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)? Yes right up until 2011 when Ted announced he was running for the Senate!
WHY do you people think our Government won't secure our border? Do you think it is Incompetence? Ignorance? Is it to destroy the nation? Well a lot can be said about all of those at this point but lets just say the SPP (Security and Prosperity Partnership) CFR and that sweet little task force has other plans! Open up the borders and go deeper south into Mexico and beyond!! Awake yet???? Yes they are actively working to create a new nation of North America, called the North American Union, (NAU) just like the EU, with a controlling politburo, where members are NOT elected by the people.
Heidi Cruz was:
"SPECIAL" Assistant to Ambassador Robert B. Zoellick? Do you know WHO he is??? Mitt Romney put Zoellick on his team and caught great criticism over it but we didn't hear about that through Fox or any one else now did we! Google it!! Just type in Romney and Robert B Zoellick. It's there!!
So WHY would Heidi be a "special assistant" to him of ALL people? Is this a lawyer doing the work of a lawyer? Hardly, there is an agenda here.
TASK FORCE MEMBERS: HEIDI S. CRUZ is an energy investment banker with Merrill Lynch in Houston, Texas. She served in the Bush White House under Dr. Condoleezza Rice as the Economic Director for the Western Hemisphere at the National Security Council, as the Director of the Latin America Office at the U.S. Treasury Department, and as Special Assistant to Ambassador Robert B. Zoellick, U.S. Trade Representative. Prior to government service, Ms. Cruz was an investment banker with J.P. Morgan in New York City. (This information is prior to the economic crash, during the Bush administration.)

You seem just a tad bit over sensitive. Did your husband leave you for another man?
They’re all Soros aliases. ;-)
No, no, no! Isn’t it obvious? It is a consortium of the Bavarian Illuminati, the Bilderburgers, the Warburgs, the Council on Foreign Relations, Skull and Bones, Scroll & Key and some other groups sooooooo secret that the groups have no names whatsoever.
No, Trump is God’s other son, don’tcha know?
Trump supporters are disgusting much like Obama supporters.
There. How's that?
Sorry that you can't handle the facts...and that all YOU have is name calling.
Not sure where Ted’s money is coming from.
At least we know that the origins for Trump’s money was prostitution and drug dealing.
No need for a super PAC.
Give it up. Your pathetic answer sounds really desperate.
That’s it? That’s all that the bots have, now?
/chuckle
Trump supporters are very willing to forgive his ills while going after the others for the exact same ills.
I am a Cruz guy for sure but I would vote for Trump in the general if he gets the nod. But before that happens, I'm a Conservative first and Trump is not the Conservative in this race. Not by a long shot.
Palin agrees with this don't cha know. So you are on to something.
There’s more. I was only addressing the current topic.
I thought even a simpleton would understand that.
Strive for the simpleton level.
You can do it!
Oooh....good one! You got me. LOL.
Who is funding the Hillary super PAC?
focus on the real threat
