A shadowy group called American Tradition Partnership, which works to undermine our laws aimed at keeping big money out of politics, appears to have broken federal law by lying to the IRS when it applied for nonprofit, tax-exempt status.

According to the New York Times: "It said it would not try to influence elections for public office, yet it has done so repeatedly."

And now a new report from Frontline and Marketplace suggests that ATP may have also broken another law, by illegally coordinating its work with the campaigns of candidates running for office.

The Justice Department must investigate whether the American Tradition Partnership broke the law by making false statements to the IRS when it applied for nonprofit, tax-exempt status.
