Twice a year, the Koch brothers and their mysterious network of ultra-conservative, ultra-rich allies gather for secretive “seminars,” which, according to POLITICO, are “typically held under extremely tight security and attendees are warned not to divulge the proceedings.” Needless to say, we at American Bridge didn’t make the guest list.

We scarcely had a chance to guess at what was on the agenda at the seminar before reports emerged from the meeting that the Koch brothers are launching yet another political entity to do their bidding this mid-term cycle: Freedom Partners Action Fund. The super PAC is anticipated to spend more than $15 million during the cycle, bringing the projected total spend by Koch-affiliated groups to a whopping $290 million, according to the POLITICO report.

How does Freedom Partners Action Fund differ from Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce, Americans for Prosperity or any of the dozens of other organizations with Koch backing? The super PAC is expected to explicitly ask voters to back GOP candidates on the ballot this fall, as opposed to the Democrat-bashing “issue campaigns” routinely put forward by AFP and others.

Furthermore, the new group is a registered super PAC, which means that it will be required to disclose its roster of donors. In the past, Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce has been likened to a “secret bank” for the Koch brothers, so while POLITICO suggests that the new PAC may be a move to “introduce some transparency,” we’re not exactly holding our breath over here.
