I'm not saying it's not real, they're just following what their legal advice says the law says and provides for. It's probably a loophole that's being exploited, just like other loopholes that hers and other campaigns have exploited (like coordinating with SuperPACs before the campaign officially kicks off).

Well those examples were given by a lawyer trying to help the campaign navigate the complex laws and stay onside, so I'll provisionally defer to a lawyer experienced in the field vs a website called unfittorun.com

Lawsuit happy Trump would be all over this if there was actually evidence of wrongdoing IMO.

As an aside, it's kind of amusing that the PDF of supposed evidence of collusion includes emails with a legal firm who's job it is to advise the campaign on how to avoid collusion.
