I'm not impressed that they have lawyers ready to make arguments in defence.
I didnt defer to Bush's legal defence of torture, I decided for myself.

The FEC has admitted they are toothless. They have openly stated they won't go after anyone - so of course the case is weak. The institution is hollow.
I don't know enough about US election finance law to make a decision one way or another. In this article a lawyer independants of the two camps said it was not illegal. In areas I have no expertise I defer to experts.

As for ethical I'm not sure any part of US election finance law is ethical. When the superpacs exist everything else is almost inconsequential. They have a system to deliver anonymous money to candidates.

I do think the HVF though was much more about building a war chest for the general then about beating Bernie.
