re: #405 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))
you got me there…what exactly are they charged with? if it was simply a matter of trying to influence an election, then that is not illegal, but there are plenty of illegal actions that can be related to election tampering/meddling.
If they were working on behalf of a candidate, paying salaries and expenses for people to work on behalf of a candidate — that’s a campaign contribution. Foreigners are not allowed to make campaign contributions.
