hamm is explicitly helping to set policy.an of the energy advisory group and at the same time he makes this huge donation. the romney campaign is that the super pac pack is an independent entity. been a lot of questions about just how independent these entities are. but the role of mr. hamm does highlight what is potentially a new problematic feature here of where a big mega done tore a super pac then emerges explicitly as a top energy adviser, in this case, the top energy adviser to the candidate. >> correct me if i'm wrong, is this the first time we have seen something like this so far? >> in this new era of super pacs, everything is new. we haven't seen donations of this size for many, many years. certainly not to presidential campaigns because you can't make donations directly to presidential campaigns. it's only in this new era of super pacs where you can give huge donation like this, six and seven figures, to the super pac backing the candidates, which had very close ties to the candidate. another point worth mentioning

hamm calls itself america's oil champion is chair of romney's policy energy group. a minute. not the only big donors. rocco of the hospital chain select medical contributed a quarter million dollars. so did stephen zide. a member of bain capital. 18 billionaires contributed to restore our future, and that's just one of the pro-romney super pacs. american crossroads from harold simmons. his million dollar donation raised his total contributions to american crossroads to $6 million. the only individual donor to give more in this election cycle is sheldon adelson who bank rolled the gingrich superpac almost single handedly. by comparesing, the usa action isn't seeing near the same financial support. top two donors in april, labor unions. air traffic controllers and plumbers and pipe fitters. top individual contribution came from joseph kiani of a medical tech company. the big money donors aren't contributing to the president's superpac. at least not yet. more than 30 individuals who have donated a million dollars or more to souts gro far. two of them, amy goldman and c

hamm donates this $985,000 to the romney super pac.jaded by these large six and seven-figure donations. do the super pacs raise questions about access the donors might get to the candidates? here we have something of a wrinkle where one of the mega donors is actually explicitly setting policy for the candidate. he's the chairman of this energy advisory group. >> nothing more than a coincidence, michael. nothing more than a coincidence. >> of course, what the romney campaign said was the super pac is an independent entity and, therefore, they can't answer questions. >> mike, i want you to take a listen to romney responding to rick santorum's complaints about super pac ads during the south carolina primary debate. take a listen. >> i did not have a super pac run an ad against you. as you know, that is something which is completely out of the control of candidates. one of the things i decry in the current financial system that gets behind campaigns. >> are we really expected to suspend our disbelief when mitt romney has said he has no con
