Deep-pocketed Republican groups are pouring millions into efforts to knock off hard-right GOP primary candidates — while ensuring the source of the cash stays shrouded until after voters select their nominees, Axios has learned.Through "pop-up" super PACs, frequently branded with local-sounding or vaguely ideological names, Republican operatives in Washington can try to tip the scales of key intra-party fights without leaving any fingerprints.
There's no information in the public domain proving those links.

The group, which has yet to disclose any donors, also put up huge sums attacking hard-right Republican House candidates Anthony Sabatini in Florida and Carl Paladino in New York, both of whom lost their primary bids last month.to pop-up super PACs aimed at taking out hard-right midterm candidates, again timing those donations to be disclosed only after the contests at issue.
