    Wtf. Complete gibberish. The idiot doesn’t even understand the direction of a transaction.

    How can … Democrats paying some Bruce guy to play guitar… be an illegal campaign contribution. To the Democrats?

    I have to wonder if he ever learned how a payment works. He grew up rich. Did he ever purchase anything from a store in which you get something and then pay for it by giving the store money?

    Is he really on that level of stupidity?

    This explains everything.

      the key factor is whether the endorsement is part of a coordinated campaign effort or is simply a public communication. If it’s a legitimate endorsement to the public, it’s generally permissible. However, if it’s part of a broader strategy to influence the election AND is coordinated with the candidate, it could be subject to campaign finance regulations.

      Campaign laws in the US are strange at times.

      I’m not saying laws were broke, personally I doubt they were, just giving info.

        Yeah that’ll be a nice waste of time for the lawyers who think they’ll be paid for doing a massive investigation.
