Very informative IMHO.

Super PACs, Dark Money and the Hillary Clinton Campaign, Part 1
Saturday, 05 December 2015 * By Melissa Yeager and Libby Watson * Truthout/Sunlight Foundation

We're going to dive into the web of financing for all of the presidential candidates, but as we have looked into several Republican candidates already - like Ted Cruz's plethora of super PACs and Right to Rise's pro-Jeb Bush advertising - we're going to start this exercise over on the Democratic Party side with Hillary Clinton.[1]

We'll be delving even deeper into the Clinton money network tomorrow morning, so keep your eyes peeled for part two. But for now, let's get started!

Players You Should Know
To start with, here are the names you need to know and how they fit under our current campaign finance system.[2]

Ready for Hillary PAC (hybrid super PAC)
Ready PAC (hybrid super PAC, formerly Ready for Hillary)
Hillary for America (candidate PAC)
Priorities USA Action (super PAC)
Correct the Record (super PAC)
American Bridge 21st Century (super PAC)
American Bridge 21st Century Foundation (501(c)(4))
American Independent Institute (501(c)(4))
Media Matters (501(c)(3))
The Bonner Group
Now that you know who is involved, here's the story we know right now of the money backing Hillary. It's rather lengthy so in this post we'll cover Ready for Hillary, Ready PAC, and Priorities USA Action. We'll be looking at the rest tomorrow.

Ready for Hillary
First of all, it's important to point out that the Hillary Clinton political fundraising machine started a full two years before she declared she was running for president. (At least, the one actually associated with her name did.)
