      Literally a few of them complained that individual donations were paying them more than lobbyists. They don’t want any money, they want corpo money.

        i imagine a large amount of money coming under the table from a single source is a lot easier to hide than a large amount of money coming from a combination of many sources out in the open.

        Much easier to repurpose that money for non-campaign expenses when it can be easily hidden or laundered.
