"A dark money group with no website, no employees and no apparent offices brought in $80 million in its first year of operation."

I believe it's due time the rules for personal PACs & hidden political related fundraising be changed.

4. I think it's been time...but the senate won't bring any bills to shine ANY light on their dark money

If there was a way that moscow mitch could bring a bill that only applied to dark money going to democrats and NOT republicans, he would bring that bill.

3. In an ideal world we would find out the source of the $$ before the election.

My bet is that it's a foreign entity.

7. Sheldon Whitehouse's

Presentation during the Barrett hearings was outstanding. I am pretty sure he mentioned this Leo fella?

This just makes my blood pressure shoot straight up to the red zone.

We need to fix this stuff.

8. Started at least in 2018. Hmm, who mysteriously had massive credit debt magically disappear in 2018?

$60,000 to $200,000 disappeared. Like magic.
