Republican deposits come in one door and campaign contributions (bribes) in another. Hey I deposited a $1 yesterday and it's worth $1000 today. Gotta love that compound interest thing! You show me the money and I get interested..

Fractional banking comes to campaign coffers? Stick a regulator into every single account at the bank.

I noticed them pointing out Colbert's Super Pac along with Blue Dog Pac as proof of nonpartisan involvement. If any shenenigans transpire out of public knowledge, Colbert will bust it wide open. He's not just a comedian but a very smart comedian.

I would not call having Blue Dog PAC $ proof of nonpartisanship! How do you think they funnel money to Nelson?

The article states that the Bank in non-partisan then give the Dem's Blue Dog PAC as an example...

They may be 'non-partisan' but of homgenous ideology....

There are may Conservative Democrats but ZERO Progressive Republicant's...

Democratic campaigns would be very foolish to bank at this bank. The data from their accounts will be made available to rival campaigns.
