Also worth noting, the group says it�s going to be filing it�s donors at the end of the next FEC reporting period. That�s October 15, I think (for the period ending September 30). So this hardly is a �shadow� or �anonymous� group, it�s just a new group that hasn�t yet hit its first filing deadline.

How is it illegal for foreign interests to spend in American elections? Can't they simply incorporate an American subsidiary to make unlimited independent expenditures?
