I get the point, but the “significant concerns over interference and suspicious funding” should not be treated as “hey this is worrying but let’s let it slide” - if there’s no actual consequence to unchecked, unreported spending, there’s zero incentive to follow the law.

Allowing someone to win the presidency through unchecked spending de facto removes the spending rules altogether.
