    One of the nefarious things about corporate giving through political action committees is how it hides the trail of money. For example, Google gives to something called 'Eye of the Tiger PAC'. Eye of the Tiger PAC donates to Steve King, the openly white supremacist congressman.pic.twitter.com/m80yz17led

        So if you work at Google, and you opt-in to the payroll deduction for their political action committee, are you giving to Steve King? Well, you're not really giving to him... but you're not exactly *not* giving to him, either. To be honest, I don't understand the tech PACs at all

        There's a similar thing that Google, Facebook and Salesforce pay into called Hawkeye PAC (presumably focusing on Iowa), which then donates to Steve King. What I don't get is, why the indirection? And who is making these donation decisions, based on what criteria?pic.twitter.com/3h28weWsoc

        How much is it worth to Google PR to not have any connection, however indirect, with Steve King? I bet it's a lot more than $5K. And how much is it worth to Intel or @LandOLakesInc , who just cut the guy a check with no intermediary? And yet they give, for some reason.pic.twitter.com/h4hdMmLgIK

        So I get that the tech companies hire political specialists on both sides (I have no idea how LandOLakes does it), and try to split giving roughly halfway. But beyond that, it's kind of baffling. Is this based on who goes golfing with whom? Is it 12-D campaign finance chess?

        (Speaking of Steve King donations, it's interesting that Berkshire Hathaway gives the guy money. Are these really Omaha values, Warren Buffett?)pic.twitter.com/7vzZAXrP2k

        Thanks to @ezhurb for explaining that Hawkeye PAC and Eye of the Tiger PAC are both leadership PACs, and providing a link to a list of them:https://twitter.com/ezhurb/status/1050918060645863425 …

        These are Leadership PACs for GOP members. Hawkeye PAC is Grassley's, and Eye of the Tiger PAC is Scalise's. OpenSecrets has a good list + explainer: https://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/industry.php?txt=Q03&cycle=2012 …

        Well, it didn’t hide it too well. You’re showing the trail right there...

        I don't think someone stays up nights at Google wondering how to clandestinely move money to Steve King in a way a dude on Twitter can't expose. Rather, this might just be a way to make arm's-length donations possible to politically unpalatable recipients.

        If the corporations tend to give roughly equal amounts to both parties then I don’t get why even bother? What’s the point and what am I missing?

        That's what I'm trying to understand, too.
