Rachel Maddow last night adeptly covered my story from Friday on the tactics repeatedly used by the Romney campaign’s national finance co-chair, Frank VanderSloot, and his company (Melaleuca), to silence critics by threatening (and commencing) lawsuits against them.

Rachel’s coverage of the VanderSloot story follows a discussion of the general influence of billionaires on this election cycle and begins at roughly the 3:00 minute mark:
