YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe covert power of dark money has become the hallmark of modern American politics since the Supreme Court's "Citizens United" decision in 2010. The super-rich and corporations buy back-door influence using political nonprofits with innocuous names that mask the true identity of who's pulling the strings.
But in 2012, California's election watchdog agency went after one of the biggest, boldest dark money networks, run by the Koch Brothers, and wound up exposing some of the California elite - Bob Fisher, CEO of the Gap; Mega-Investor Charlie Schwab, and LA philanthropist Eli Broad. Then California beefed up its financial disclosure rules and now runs a web list of each campaign's top ten donors.
