40. And what secret blood money did Nida take?

We don't know because she didn't release her financial records until three weeks past the required deadline, and more to the point, we don't know because the SCOTUS determined that letting secret dark money fund our elections is just fine.

Where are the funds supporting Nida's campaign coming from? We don't know.
