They've just busted out anti-Hillary attack ads on Benghazi and the foundation.

Future45 is a super PAC created by a trio of conservative megadonors focused on electing a Republican to be the 45th hence the name President of the United States in 2016. The group is headed by veteran GOP operative Brian Walsh, who told the National Journal that the PAC was focused on the general and was not planning to intervene in the 2016 Republican primary. Future45 filed its statement of organization with the FEC on March 20, 2015. The Wall Street Journal noted that Future45 was set up with a corresponding c(4) advocacy group 45Committee.
The site lists names etc. Looks ligit to me.

http://www.wsj.com/articles/prominent-gop-donors-launch-new-groups-to-take-aim-at-hillary-clinton-1445984161
WASHINGTONA collection of top GOP operatives, financed by prominent Republican donors, is launching two new groups to take aim at Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton.
The groupsFuture45, a super PAC, and 45Committee, an issue-advocacy organizationare designed to seize on issues that emerge in the campaign or comments Mrs. Clinton makes and quickly assemble ads that will run both online and on television. Organizers are hoping the groups will become something of an experimental, quick-strike vehicle to see what messages and tactics work.
Both entities will be bankrolled by some of the biggest donors to Republican candidates and causes, including hedge-fund billionaires Ken Griffin and Paul Singer and the family of TD Ameritrade founder Joe Ricketts, whose wife, Marlene, donated more than $5 million to super PACs backing candidates in the first half of the year. Ron Weiser, a former finance chairman at the Republican National Committee, will serve as chairman of Future45, heading up the groups fundraising efforts.
