So Clinton and the DNC are now being accused of blatant campaign finance violations on top of all the other stuff. Basically it amounts to the fact Clinton is actively taking donations far in excess of the legally allowed limits by having the DNC launder the money into her campaign through the Hillary Victory Fund. The price set for the George Clooney fundraiser was not coincidental. And this is only what we know about.

Shady as hell. To quote people online about the math.
Quote:
So the Hillary Victory Fund is this:
The DNC, Hillary campaign, and 32 states.
Voter donation limits to individual campaigns are $2700
Limit Donation to a state Democratic Party is: $10000 per state
Max donation to the DNC is: $33,400 to the dollar.
32 states have a "stake" in her victory fund, meaning they are looking for a return on their investment.

What Hillary is doing currently is having people donating $10000 to each state through this victory fund, and $33400 to the DNC. But the issue is, that most of the money is going into this fund for her campaign, but she promises these states and the DNC a senate majority. That is why superdelegates pledged so early on. This is where the problem is. It is laundering money through this fund into her campaign.
Let's calculate this: $10000 x 32 states = $320,000
$320,000 + $33400 max donation to the DNC = WHAT DO YA KNOW? $353,400.

Think that Clooney dinner donation price was a coincidence?
Edit: She bought the loyalty of superdelegates before Bernie even announced his candidacy, and it's said she funneled more than maximum into her campaign as it stands. That's where the issue is.
