Koch Brothers Running Scared: Behind The Scenes, Koch Empire Crumbling (Corruption)

"The tumult - combined with a handful of high-profile departures and widespread concerns that the network could find itself facing congressional investigations if Democrats retake the Senate - has some employees on edge, according to a handful of people around the network."

"Earlier in the month, the network held a document clean-up and retention week during which shredding bins were brought to the offices of various network groups, and employees were encouraged to identify sensitive files for destruction. Since there is no evidence of any active investigation into the Koch network, there's nothing prohibiting the groups from destroying old files."

Insiders say that the shredding of material is unrelated to the Kochs' anxiety of a Democratic Senate investigation, but we aren't so convinced.

The writing on the wall is clear: as the American people are waking up to money's corrupting influence in politics, the political currency a dollar can buy is stretching further and further. May this merely be the beginning of a mass exodus of cash from campaign.
