Well, that's interesting:

It could simply be, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I.e., we've got an extra $500k. We can either spend it developing and running our own attack ads, or we can let Aunt Carly deploy it to amplify what she's already got. And she can be ambassador to wherever she wants!

IOW, there are other explanations besides hush money.

“IOW, there are other explanations besides hush money.”

Tnat is certainly true, but it would seem worthy of an explanation particularly in view of the fact that according to the FEC, it’s illegal to make those kinds of transfers, or at least that’s how I take their investigation into the matter. Personally, I believe if we are ever to have honest elections, we need to take all the money “donated” by anyone other than an individual out of the process. The PACs and the Unions need to go, and there needs to be legal supervision to make sure no one cheats. The problem is that the big-bucks folks and the MSM “like” how it is right now because they get to choose our nominees and make a ton of money while they’re doing it.
