Feds: Mexican Tycoon Exploited Super PACs to Influence U.S. Elections

Gross conflation of 'we warned you foreign political spending would happen' and 'the SCOTUS citizens united ruling is wrong.' Seriously, did anyone miss the 'Congress shall make no law' bit of the 1st amendment? If you don't want foreign spending then you can't just trample all over the Constitution for political expedience, you have to actually pass a law that addresses it directly instead of taking the easy way out. There are ways to have real campaign finance reform without restricting speech. PS Arguments that corporations should not be allowed to have freedom of speech or that spending money is not a form of speech really do not belong here.

No spoilers! Don't ruin it for everyone else. (Applicable to people who know what I mean)

Bah. Nothing new here. This stuff has been going on forever. You didn't need the "Citizens United" ruling to enable this.

One of my favorite instances involved the inventor of the Internet drinking too much iced tea, back in 1996:

Gore "lost his memory" some 85 times - 85 times - when he was questioned by the FBI about his role in various fundraising scandals, including "Chinagate," an illegal scheme that raised millions of dollars in campaign-cash from communist Chinese for the Clinton-Gore reelection effort in 1996.

Gore claimed that at one pivotal meeting at the White House where illegal fundraising was discussed, he must have missed the illegal parts because he was frequently in the bathroom thanks to drinking too much iced tea. But senior White House officials say the meetings were stopped whenever the president or vice president left, and one of these officials remembers Gore "attentively listening."

No I don't want to read your stupid full screen registration page.
