“The ban on personal use does not apply to Leadership PACs once the individual leaves Congress,” Ryan said. The law “only applies to principle campaign committees, not Leadership PACs.

House and Senate rules arguably ban any use of personal funds, but once they leave…they are not subject to House or Senate rules.”

According to a written legislative recommendation by the FEC to Congress, “no corresponding provision covers individuals who convert contributions received by party committees, separate segregated funds, leadership PACs and other political committees, to their own personal use.”
