“A U.S. House candidate in Montana is benefiting from a political action committee he created, leading at least one opponent and some experts to question the legality of the peculiar arrangement.

The committee now backs candidates who support the military — and their first candidate is Zinke, a 52-year-old former state senator.

Hi Cenk,
Just in regards to Stephen Colbert, “… and he has not declared yet what he has done with that Super PAC money.”, I thought he declared most of that at http://www.colbertsuperpac.com/home.php …
Please investigate if that he hasn’t been completely transparent … I’m a big fan of yourself, your team, and Stephen and his …
Kind regards,
