Republicans block bill seeking to end "dark money" in politics

The bill’s lead sponsor, Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, on Thursday lambasted special interest groups that seek to influence US politics with “unlimited money” while hiding their identities.

I don't have a problem with that. People want to participate without risking the loss of the livelyhood.
 

Well turkeys dont vote for Christmas.

Dark money is a conspiracy against the people. Politicians work for the people and they should remember that.
You poor naive fool.


Don’t you know the Democratic establishment is covered with slime?
 
Yeah, corrupt as hell. In the meantime that party's leader has a son selling his finger paintings for up to a half-million dollars each to anonymous buyers. Gee, nothing fishy about that now is there?
Nothing suspicious at all if the son is related to a high level Democrat and in this case Hunter is related to the Democrat President of the U.S. Can’t get much higher than that.

Hunter is untouchable. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if the FBI lost his laptop. At a minimum, they likely will lose chain of custody on the laptop which will redeem the evidence on it useless.

Hunter is likely selling access to his father with the big guy (or course) getting 10% as discussed on the laptop. As for the laptop itself nothing will happen with it until the Republicans get the White House in 24. If it's Trump you bet he will clean house and put a real FBI director in there. The laptop has been through too many hands for there not to be copies out there.

The trouble with the copies is chain of custody too. The argument by Hunter’s lawyers would be the “evidence” on the copies could be faked because who knows who had access to the copies.

Now the FBI could raid Hunter’s house and find a whole bunch of evidence if they could grab everything like they did at Mar-a-Lago. Of course the FBI does not raid houses owned by Democrats. For example they never raided Hillary’s house. Democrats get far better treatment than conservatives and especially Trump Deplorables in our wonderful Banana republic.
 
why wouldn't they? why do you have a problem with free speech?

The late Antonin Scalia disagrees with you. Knowing who is funneling large amounts of money into campaigns is not a violation of free speech rights.

thankfully a majority of the court already agreed that it did violate fiest and 14th amendment rights

the dems tried once before to get the names of people to harass during NAACP c alabama

the court ruled demand their names violated their first amendment rights and 14th

This isn't about funneling money into campaigns. Any money that goes to a campaign has to be accounted for.
 
By "Dark Money," you mean donations that are freely given and used to express speech...............
Dark money doesn’t go to campaigns directly. Dark money is funds donated to PAC, say like “Future Foward” - that then uses that money to promote the campaign…the money doesn’t actually go to the campaign.

Those donors don’t have to be disclosed, money that goes directly to the campaign does
