I think we agree. My point was that he didn't do anything morally wrong, since some here seem to think breaking any law is wrong. Some laws are not binding in conscience, like speeding laws or TSA screening laws. The corporate donation rules are one of those because any prohibition on corporate donations is purely arbitrary, since donations by other limited liability entities are fully permissible.
In addition, as you state, the donations were permissible anyway under law because they went through the RNC, so no law was even broken at all.
Yes, it is totally inexpicable what crime was committed. Why would the money be "laundered"? In any case, the RNC had to be part of the alledged conspiracy since the money went through them. I'd like to see the transcript of the trial to see what evidence there was.
I was pretty sure we agreed, but I was trying to point out that the charges he was convicted of were hanging in the air unsupported by anything. What was the crime that required money laundering?
