re: #291 palomino

Sure, but both sides are disingenuous here. TP didn’t drop the issue because the CofC refused to offer any specifics. The CofC isn’t exactly rushing to tell you their sources.

Of course all this is facilitated and exacerbated by the recent SC decision which paves the way for unlimited corporate money. Even a lot of Republicans opposed that SC decision, at least before they realized it could work to their advantage in elections.

The CofC is not required to give specifics. The FEC could demand them, but not a media source. Nor should they provide them to Think Progress. ThinkProgress would use any inside information they were given to the CofC’s detriment. And then they’d run with an “eleventy!1” story anyway. The whole point for TP was to fire up their base, not to actually look for truth.
