A really interesting report was released today by CampaignMoney.org, which follows Mitch McConnell’s use of the filibuster and how money seems to pass to him when he exercises that “minority voice” of his.

The full report (PDF) highlights eight specific instances where McConnell’s fortune increased commensurate with his blocking efforts in the Senate. It’s more blatant than we usually see.
