10. "The RPK alleges that he also solicited funds "in excess of the legal limits" for a super PAC"

This must have really chaffed them. I didn't even know this was possible. To raise TOO much money in a super PAC.
Also, how do they know if and when a Democratic candidate's super PAC goes over the limit? If there is one.

[EndlessWire]

11. Yeah.

How do they know how much money she has? Is there a report they have to look at that shows how much money she actually received?

"solicited??" I'm going to send a little bit, too. Unsolicited. Turtleman has to go.

[mahina]

12. Yeah but does she have a wife who extorts Chinese donations for business deals?

If so, that’s nothing, right?
