Would it be legal to use campaign funds to funnel into an LLC to pay off someone?
Seriously asking. Seems like it would run afoul of at least some federal election laws even as toothless as they are.
I'm by no means a campaign finance expert but I highly doubt this would be legal. But the Trump campaign appears corrupt enough and ignorant of the law so who knows.
More likely scenario is getting a donor or two to donate to a 527 and hide the expense amongst other "legitimate" ones.
