Apparently, the fund is to pay off the $500,000 in legal debts she owes. The problem is that it's not a capped thing. Some building contractor for example could throw $250,000 there and then have state business.

It is a pretty ethically difficult area when it comes to legal defense funds.

I agree that legal defense funds are 'problematic', but how many times are Republicans supposed to throw one of theirs in the dumper just to make a legal/ethical/political point which will just be ignored by our opponents?

There’s a $150 limit on individual donations to avoid any of the appearances you discuss.
