I really don't want to touch this story with a ten foot pole. Like you, I have only the highest respect for the ethics and integrity of the Clintons. I know that they would never do anything financially shifty. It's as inconceivable as landing at an airport under sniper fire or Hillary being rejected from the NASA Marine Corps because she is a courageous woman.

American Bridge, the super-PAC founded by Democratic operative David Brock, is launching a multi-pronged effort Wednesday that criticizes President-elect Donald Trump for his potential business conflicts of interest.The campaign, which comes the same day Trump is set to host “a general news conference” includes a website called “TrumpMustSell.biz,” a five-page report detailing Trump’s potential conflicts of interest, and a Snapchat geofilter. “Donald Trump is on the verge of turning the entire federal government into a subsidiary of his business empire. This isn't just unprecedented in American history, it’s unethical and unconstitutional,” American Bridge President Jessica Mackler said in a...

Square 516S Office Venture LLC owns the office building that American Bridge 21st Century operates out of. But American Bridge is sending rental payments to Square 516 Office Venture LLC. David Brock’s Super PAC, American Bridge 21st Century, might be making rental payments to a company that does not exist. Square 516S Office Venture LLC, owns the building that General Services Administration and American Bridge operate out of.

HILLARY FOR AMERICA POLICY ON FUNDRAISING AGENTS Federal campaign law defines an “agent” as an individual who has been conferred actual authority by a candidate or campaign committee to solicit funds on its behalf (hereinafter, “fundraising authority”). Hillary for America (“HFA”) may choose to confer such authority on certain individuals who are not employees. The list of campaign fundraising agents could include individuals who agree to host sanctioned fundraising events on HFA’s behalf; individuals who offer to raise funds on HFA’s behalf and whose offer is accepted by HFA; and individuals whom HFA asks to raise funds on its behalf...

Scott Foval was the National Field Director of Americans United for Change. That would be Brad Woodhouse – President of Americans United for Change. As it turns out, Brad Woodhouse is also the President of Correct the Record! Correct the Record is a Super PAC that works on the “coordinated” side of the Clinton Campaign. Under current rules, Correct the Record claims they can coordinate directly with Hillary Clinton and her campaign staff about strategy.

Russ Feingold and John McCain largely made their names in the Senate fighting the power of special interest money. But now as McCain fights for re-election in Arizona and Feingold tries to return to the Senate in Wisconsin, the authors of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law are benefiting from the same sources of funding they once scorned. …

The Clinton campaign explored using the pro-choice advocacy group EMILY’s List to coordinate messaging strategy with Priorities USA, the Hillary aligned Super PAC, according to a leaked email from the campaign. The campaign was trying to save up to $4 million dollars by getting Priorities USA to run an ad campaign that it wanted.

Shouldn't we attack the book or get Brock to attack the book as a Murdoch special. From the folks who brought you Fox News...

David Brock has 7 non-profits, 3 Super PACs, one 527-committee, one LLC, one joint fundraising committee, and one unregistered solicitor crammed into his office in Washington DC. Uncovered records expose a constant flow of money between these organizations. The Bonner Group, his professional solicitor, works off a commission. Every time money gets passed around, Bonner receives a 12.5% cut. Follow the money ... Let’s recap Say, for example, you donate $1,062,857 to Media Matters for America. This is how David Brock would have used your charitable donation in 2014: 1- Media Matters would receive your $1,062,857 donation The Bonner Group...

In the newest episode of Clinton corruption, evidence has surfaced that the campaign has been coordinating with the Super PAC known as Correct the Record (CTR). Correct the Record hires people to comment on various internet sites to defend Hillary Clinton from “baseless attacks,” according to the group’s Twitter account. However, coordination with a Super PAC is against federal campaign law. The proof of this coordination is as follows. Over the course of 2016, CTR paid $115,571 in “video consulting” fees to a company named the Allenswood Group. However, the only client of the Allenswood Group is CTR. The most...

Donald Trump has a new group of allies. Women Vote Trump, a new super PAC, was launched Thursday at the National Press Club by former tea party leader Amy Kremer, veteran Republican strategist Ann Stone, actress Stacey Dash and video bloggers Diamond and Silk, the wildly popular team who have supported Mr. Trump for months via YouTube and late-night TV appearances. “There are millions of women who support Donald Trump and we’re not standing in the shadows anymore. We won’t be pushed around by bullies who tell us who we are “supposed” to like. And we’re not going to keep...

When the Internet’s legions of Hillary hecklers steal away to chat rooms and Facebook pages to vent grievances about Clinton, express revulsion toward Clinton and launch attacks on Clinton, they now may find themselves in a surprising place – confronted by a multimillion dollar super PAC working with Clinton. Hillary Clinton's well-heeled backers have opened a new frontier in digital campaigning, one that seems to have been inspired by some of the Internet's worst instincts. Correct the Record, a super PAC coordinating with Clinton's campaign, is spending some $1 million to find and confront social media users who post unflattering...

The Mysterious Case of Ted Cruz PAC’s $1/2 Million ‘Donation’ to Help Carly Fiorina by Rachel Stockman April 27th, 2016 Note: This article was first published March 30, 2016. Months ago, before the Republican race was whittled down to just three candidates, a very curious thing happened. The Ted Cruz super PAC ‘donated’ $500,000 to the Carly Fiorina super PAC, CARLY for America. A few articles popped up at the time, and the Federal Election Commission even issued a letter asking the Cruz super PAC to better explain what the donation was for. To be clear, a half a million...

Months ago, before the Republican race was whittled down to just three candidates, a very curious thing happened. Ted Cruz‘s super PAC ‘donated’ $500,000 to Carly Fiorina‘s super PAC. A few articles popped up at the time, and the Federal Election Committee even issued a letter asking the Cruz super PAC to better explain what the donation was for. To be clear, a half a million dollars is not a small donation, and, at the time, it was the largest expense that the PAC had paid out. So why the heck would Cruz’s PAC hand over that kind of money...

With less than two weeks until the Iowa caucuses, a new super PAC has formed with the intention of taking down Donald Trump. The group, which is called Our Principles PAC, is founded by Katie Packer, a veteran Republican strategist who served as deputy campaign manager on Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign.

Roger Stone loves resilience. It's why the former body builder had Richard Nixon's face tattooed on his broad back. "It's there to remind me that in life, when things don't go your way, you get back in the game," Stone said in an interview with CNN. "Nixon said, 'A man is not finished when he's defeated, he's only finished when he quits.'" When it comes to Donald Trump's 2016 presidential bid, things did not initially go Stone's way. He had one vision for the campaign; Trump had another. But after leaving in August, Stone is back, in a manner of...
