Wasn't it strange how news of his retirement leaked out before Breyer's statement? Almost like he had no such plans, but didn't dare show up the White House.

I thought that was a little fishy, too. Thanks for those links, I might dig into that to see if I can find anything more.

What's the fuss about? Both parties have byzantine networks like this for all manner of political activity. In fact, the democrats' process described here is somewhat amateurish when thrown up against similar republican efforts. This is all above board. Thank Citizen United for this. In fact THIS IS Citizens United at work. And with the Citizens United decision, there is no Dark Money. The fuss, should anyone care to make one, ought to be directed at the Supreme Court's decision to put a bright smiley face on Dark Money in the Citizens United decision.

You're absolutely right about Citizens United. I promise to write an article about that in the near future... (I'm also going to steal your line about "byzantine networks"—I like the way that sounds.)
