My point is that it’s still illegal for foreigners to donate to our Presidential campaign. I would be upset too if the donations were made for McCain or any Republican candidate

I would be upset no matter which party. But I think this Swiss fundraiser is for Americans living abroad. I could be wrong.

I was never before aware how lax the reporting requirements are for campaign contribtions.

Obviously, the public is kept in the dark about the majority of campagin funding activity by the candidates.

I didn't see any red flags in the McCain file, otherwise I would have looked deeper.

The candidates do not report the bundling activity publicly. At least that has been what I have found. I wanted to review McCain's activity after the WaPo article last week, but what I found are requests for the donors to publish it, but they are not required to.

If anyone knows where to find the data, I'd love to know where it is!
