US Chamber of Commerce up to no good (again). Implicated in money laundering scheme.
Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rebecca-abrahams/document-hold-filed-again_b_675463.html

Document Hold Filed Against U.S. Chamber of Commerce & American Crossroads for Alleged Money Laundering, Insider Talks


Election fraud attorney Bob Fitrakis is sending letters today to attorneys representing the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and American Crossroads requesting that they retain all documents, emails, accounting records and other records. This "document hold" is the first step toward legal action based on the groups' alleged laundering of illegal campaign contributions from large corporations.

Fitrakis, in a telephone interview, explained, "We are planning on notifying the groups investigation and we're requesting that they hold all those documents pertaining to what we believe is an illegal money laundering scheme."

2. I think you should change "again" to "still"...
....as far as I can tell, they have never stopped being up to no good.

It's sort of their default operating mode and they've never really managed to switch out of it for any meaningful amount of time.

helpfully,
Bright
