Generally speaking...wouldn’t ALL payments in such a time frame (political campaign) by a candidate be to ‘influence’ the election?

Some of this silly crap is just that...crap.

We are closing in on CW-2. Time to choose sides, folks.

If a candidate goes out and uses their own money to buy a brand new suit and gets a fashionable hair cut...they are clearly doing it to positively "influence" the election by trying to make themselves look nicer.

Yet no such thing could ever be considered a violation of campaign finance laws.

I sure hope the vast majority of clear thinking citizens see this latest effort, number 42,519, as what it really is. An effort to subvert this President when they couldn't prevent him from becoming President even while using the vast and unchecked powers of the "intelligence" and federal police agencies.
