(CNN)Americans for Prosperity, the sprawling Koch political network, announced Monday the launch of a new super PAC arm as the organization gears up for the final stretch of the 2018 midterms.

The new super PAC was described as "a new tool to build broad policy coalitions in Congress to help advance AFP's vision," which "will advocate for candidates who share our commitment to breaking internal and external barriers that prevent people from realizing their full potential."
The super PAC, called "AFP Action," will operate independently of the network's preexisting 501(c)(4) nonprofit and with some key advantages.
Per campaign finance laws, the new group will be able to spend unlimited sums on election activities while being subject to some loose disclosure requirements, The nonprofit arm, however, is subject to even looser disclosure requirements but must dedicate a portion of their spending to "social welfare" activities that cannot explicitly target elections.

2. Do they ever account for any of this money - EVER?

Since when do PACs qualify for nonprofit tax-free status? They're not a charity by any means and they certainly don't provide educational or community services. They should be paying taxes just like every corporation and organization in the US.

The feds are investigating the Trump family's fake "charity" which is a total scam. When all that comes out it will be time to look into these super PACs that are nothing but right-wing lobby groups.
