The election is getting closer, and the money keeps on flowing.  Watch Harry Hanbury's 2nd installment from his series, Loaded Chamber, featured on GritTV. In this episode: Tom DeLay's former lawyer, Brian McGahn -- who is now the right-wing's ringleader at the Federal Elections Commission -- is one of the main reasons why the U.S. Chamber and other groups have been able to flood this election with secret corporate cash. He may also be why the Chamber's head, Tom Donohue, isn't behind bars.
