This @lachlan piece on the money that flows behind, underneath, beside, and in front of everything that Leonard Leo does contains at least 5 important stories within it: thedailybeast.com/top-trump-back…
There's so little we know about the funding behind the groups that have been behind the judicial nominations work that it's hard to know exactly what we've seen pieces of before, but there's a lot here.
First off, they posted the document, so kudos to the Daily Beast. documentcloud.org/documents/5676…
As for the report — again: thedailybeast.com/top-trump-back… — here's the first story: America Engaged, you've never heard of it but it exists and has been funding groups involved in SCOTUS nomination fights. 
Second story: CRC Public Relations. This is a group we actually know about, but we have no clue how much money they've been making to do the SCOTUS nomination PR work. Here's a sign it's a lot!
Then, there's the "Freedom and Opportunity Fund" — another group that's getting a lot of money from ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and giving it to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
But wait, and here's the fourth story: Jon Kyl?! Seems like, at the least, he has some questions to answer here.
And, finally, oh yeah, all of this appears to be connected — somehow? — to the $1 million donation to Trump's inauguration fund.
Anyway, this is important reporting. Read it: thedailybeast.com/top-trump-back…
