FEC ruling will make Super PAC use even more corrupt.
The FEC ruling "gives permission to a candidate’s campaign consultant and other aides to solicit large donations for a super PAC, as long as they make clear that they are not making the request at the direction of the candidate."
In other words, a top campaign staffer can now ask a billionaire to give a million dollars (or more) to a Super PAC.
The Supreme Court ruling in "Citizens United" that Super-PACs-are-independent keep getting more absurd.
