Rep. Trey Gowdy, Chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, is financially connected to a Super PAC that ran an ad on the Benghazi attack that has been condemned by the family of slain ambassador Chris Stevens.
The Washington Post uncovered the ties between Rep. Gowdy and Stop Hillary PAC:

The PACs treasurer, Dan Backer, previously served as treasurer of a now-defunct fundraising committee affiliated with Gowdy. He is the treasurer of three other PACs the Conservative Action Fund, the Special Operations Speaks PAC and the Tea Party Leadership Fund that each donated $2,000 to Gowdys campaign on the same day in May.
The paper also found that Stop Hillary PAC spent $10,000 on automated phone calls defending and promoting Gowdy.

Citizens United - ruling money is free speech - can either be interpreted as unfettered corruption and influence over our politicians and elected officials...
Or it will lead to unrestricted contributions to the candidate of your choice, screw the PACs!
As we can see, we know which way the Republicans lean!
