The joint project with “Marketplace” and ProPublica explores how the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision changed political campaigns in America. The documentary received an award (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/government-elections-politics/big-sky-big-money/big-sky-big-money-wins-investigative-reporting-award/). The organization that was the primary focus of the documentary, Western Tradition Partnership, has since changed its name to American Tradition Partnership. In 2012 a Montana judge ruled in a suit filed by Christian and Allison LeFer that the documents described in the documentary were stolen property and should be returned to their owners. In October 2013 a federal judge in Montana ruled against the LeFer's (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/government-elections-politics/big-sky-big-money/remember-those-campaign-finance-documents-we-found-in-a-meth-house/). A November ruling by District Judge Jeffrey Sherlock fined ATP $260,000, but ATP has become defunct (http://mtpr.org/post/judge-fines-dark-money-group-more-260000 and http://combatblog.net/?p=5662) (More on ATP: http://mtcowgirl.com/tag/american-tradition-partnership/).
