Speech and Fraud - January 10, 2005 - The New York Sun
Certainly, no one is surprised that a Clinton campaign flauted campaign finance laws.
The real question is: So?
There is no consequences to doing so. She won and will pay a fine. Big whoop. it ain't coming out of her bank account.
Now if candidates are shown to have committed campaign finance fraud and were then stripped of thier office, that would crack down on it.
But until then, cheat, win and pay a fine is the rational thing to do.
