Description: Clinton launches new 'dark money' organization... The failed presidential candidate bemoaned dark money on the campaign trail but now shes launching a new 501(c)(4). Two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton officially launched a new organization on Monday Onward Together with the stated goal of advancing the vision that earned nearly 66 million votes in the last election. Put more bluntly the groups mission is to advance Clintons agenda which was unable to defeat Donald Trump. But buried on the donation page is this nugget: Contributions or gifts to Onward Together a 501(c)(4) organization are not tax deductible as charitable contributions or as business deductions. By listing itself as a 501(c)(4) Clinton is able to take so-called dark money or money from donors who legally do not have to be disclosed in unlimited amounts. In October 2015 during a town hall meeting in Iowa Clinton called 501(c)(4) groups unaccountable dark money and even used the lefts favorite boogey-men the Koch brothers as an example of a group that operates this kind of organization: Fast forward a year-and-a-half and Clinton can count herself among the leaders of the unaccountable dark money groups. Its just the latest twist in the long political saga that has become the Clintons legacy.
