How do you think Christine O'Donnell finally made some money. She raised 6 million dollars during her campaign (in a state that takes $250k to win if you are a sane democratic candidate) and managed to save a million of it after the election was done.
All that money was moved into a Superpac and although she had some legal fees to pay off she still had about half a million left. From what I've heard she gave out a few measly donations here and there and the rest goes for salary. BTW one of her donations when to a GOP Tea Party candidate that got over 100 indictments on child molestation.

Explains the bankrupt losers' list the GOP ran. Newt, especially, showed up for the $$$.

The video discusses revealing donors, nothing mentioned about 'legal fictions' or 'siphoning' money.

Yep, I heard it the first time watching it last night. Definitely says "legal fiction."

I'll vote for Illegal Fiction. Both of those words fit them better, imho!

Interesting that this comes out just as Boehner says ACA is "law of the land."
