A top liberal SuperPAC in the 2012 election had undisclosed financial ties to the private equity firm Bain Capital — something that some people close to the group say interfered with its core mission of attacking Bain veteran Mitt Romney’s business record.

American Bridge 21st Century PAC was launched in 2012 as part of a multi-pronged Democratic effort to define and defeat the Republican nominee, a project of David Brock, a former conservative reporter best known as the founder of the liberal media monitoring group Media Matters. By last January, it had amassed a vast store of opposition research, most of it focused on Romney’s tenure at Bain Capital — and on the hard-edged private equity practices that would help define the Republican as an out-of-touch millionaire.

Information that might have been quite useful had it surfaced during the GOP Primary.

One of Harry Reid’s sources, other than the IRS, on Romney? Or was this info planted by the MSM so that people wouldn’t suspect that Reid got his info on Romney’s tax returns / financial information from the IRS since IRSGate broke. The timing seems suspicious...
