Staying just under the FEC amt of $200 to avoid detection.
This was done via Pete Thiel's STRIPE Credit Card processing & 'Gift Cards' purchased by foreign interests & recurring donations under $200.
Trump used this method of enormous fundraising, as did Walleed Shahid, Zac Exley & Saikat Chakrabarti (who btw developed STRIPE when he worked for Silicon Valley Pete Thiel)
This is how their 'donors' remain undetected by FEC eyes.
Trump campaign & affiliated PACS claiming millions in 'grassroots donations', is the other Big Lie. That's how they support the many PACS & buy Social Media ads en masse. Like Facebook for one.
Putin & Foreign pay to play favors simply found a way to destroy the US Democracy from within, by purchasing their own elected officials.
Foreign money was laundered into campaigns via STRIPE & bogus named accts & prepurchased Gift cards with a recurring payment just under $200.
They purchased fake accts & gift cards by the $$milllions.
