According to CNN, Romney's SuperPAC, Restore Our Future, has learned tricks employed by criminals and dictators. NBC reported last summer that an anonymous shell company made a $1 million donation to Restore Our Future.
The Huffington Post reported that Restore Our Future, which had been operating on a weekly schedule of reporting, notified the Federal Election Commission in mid-December that it was switching to a monthly schedule, therefore avoiding the requirement to file a disclosure report 12/22/11, 12 days before the Iowa caucuses.
Trevor Potter, a Republican lawyer and an advocate of tighter regulation of money in politics, said the group is circumventing a key principle of campaign law by not letting voters learn the identities of financial supporters.
