F6, gross GOP/conservative hypocrisy re Citizens United is thoroughly and clearly exposed even more in 'the first money trail' outlined by your Intercept article .. excerpt ..

"Reached for comment by phone, Spies stated that the memo had been prepared “to ensure compliance with the law,” but he declined to say anything further about the circumstances leading to its writing or about APIC itself.

When asked whether Obama’s remarks in 2010 were vindicated by his memo, Spies grew agitated. After a short discussion, he said, “I don’t think there’s any point in our continuing this conversation,” and then abruptly hung up the phone.

The story of APIC captures the bizarre reality of the U.S. political system: George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush between them appointed three of the five members of the Supreme Court’s Citizens United majority; this majority opened up a loophole allowing foreign money to flow into U.S. elections; and this loophole was used to grab foreign money in an attempt to make a third Bush president.

Whether this loophole will continue to exist may largely depend on the outcome of the 2016 presidential race."

LOLOL, a good read, your link .. https://theintercept.com/2016/08/03/gop-lawyer-chinese-owned-company-us-presidential-politics/

Where is the conservative outrage???

It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
