You basically know what it says. Just nice that it's the FT editorial board.

Clearly posits that he might just be paying off campaign debt. 60% of contributions are used for that.

And the other 40% is apparently going into the RNC general fund, so the total has fuckall to do with the election, and has everything to do with (a) getting Trump's cronies richer and (b) putting money into the senate races in GA.

I, for one, can't think of any other Trump-like people who went to prison for fraud recently, but please don't be bannin' me, I've already paid you $100 for a firewall. winkwinkwinkwinkwinkwinkwinkwinkwink

Is this a case of election finance law violation as well, though?

I have no idea if this is legal or not, but I imagine it is given that it says exactly what they're doing in the fine print. These donors are so stupid that the Trump crew aren't even trying to hide it.
