Clinton Campaign Finance Director Sends Memo Explaining How to Break Election Law

A 2015 memo has been leaked.  It was sent by mark Elias, Hillary Clinton’s Campaign Finance Director.  Although Citizen’s United allows unlimited contributions , that’s only for Super PACs.  The maximum they can give directly to a preferred Super Pac is $5,000 dollars.  The memo was part of the Guccifer 2 hack.

Here is the memo:

And here are the guidelines for skirting the law sent by Elias:

1. All conversations that refer to a Preferred Super PAC should include a hard ask for $5,000.
2. As long as a hard money solicitation is made, you may speak freely about the campaign’s support for that Super PAC’s work.
3. If a donor provides you with an amount of money that s/he wants to give and asks where it should go, you should reply with a hard money ask.
4. If a donor tells you that s/he plans to give a certain amount of money to a Super PAC, you should reply with a hard money ask.
5. If a donor asks you to identify the Super PACs that the campaign is supporting, you may identify them as long as you couple it with a hard money ask.
6. If a donor asks whether the campaign is supporting the efforts of a particular Super PAC and it is not, you may tell the donor this.
7. You may also ask donors to solicit funds from other individuals in $5,000 chunks for the Super PAC.
8. Mere guidance about the law is permissible, in response to direct questions from donors.
9. Do not specifically earmark the funds for the Secretary’s election.
10. You may provide contact information of Super PAC personnel, but you may not lean on the donor to take a call or meeting from Super PAC personnel.

Laws mean nothing to Clinton and her cronies.
