There are several ways this is potentially resolved:

• the law does not apply to Hillary or DEM party
• the law applies, but there is no penalty
• the law is ambiguous, "no controlling legal precedent"
• the donor is a lawful resident, and therefore allowed to participate in electioneering

Foreign nationals are prohibited from making any contributions or expenditures in connection with any election in the U.S. Please note, however, that "green card" holders (i.e., individuals lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the U.S.) are not considered foreign nationals ...

Can non-US citizens contribute?
