This is why people run for president even when they can win. It’s a chance for all your buddies to come up with grift and graft.

Yes, it’s legal. They all do it.

that was not a payment as such, she provided the campaign an invoice for a speech she gave to the assembled staff

Just because they are campaign staff doesn’t mean the speech was for free

I’m guessing she paid herself as a campaign consultant.

She needed the money to pay the Plastic Surgeons, Hair Stylists and Clothes Designers. I have to admit that they did a pretty good job of taking someone with a shape like a Penguin, a face like a Zombie and hair like a dirty mop look halfway presentable. She got her money’s worth for the time being.

I believe you are allowed to pay yourself an amount equivalent to the salary of the office you are running for.

Pocket change.

Look up the Bill, Chelsea, and Hillary Foundation (formerly known as the Clinton Foundation) IRS Form 990-PF online. Tedious, but eye-opening.

As an influence-peddling slush fund, it is an absolutely brilliant idea. But, a charity, not so much.
