FEC Spokesman Confirms There Was Nothing Unlawful About Elton John Performance for HRC campaign
Recent news reports mistakenly suggest Hillary broke the law by allowing Elton John, a foreign national, to perform for her campaign.

Hillary’s campaign has complied with the law. Since 1987, the FEC has consistently held that foreign nationals may volunteer their time for campaigns on an uncompensated basis. Elton John is simply volunteering his uncompensated time to appear at the concert. This appearance is consistent with past FEC rulings

Bob Biersack, FEC Spokesman confirmed that there was nothing unlawful about the Elton John performance:

"I did not intend to convey in my conversation with the Washington Times reporter that there is anything unlawful about Elton John performing in a concert to raise money for a US presidential candidate. The Advisory Opinion 2004-26 is clear in the circumstances of the request that foreign nationals may volunteer and may even solicit contributions from non-foreign nationals, provided they are not soliciting other foreign nationals"

2. It doesn't matter. It was Hillary, so it was wrong.
She once said that it would rain, but the sun came out. Liar!

5. Perhaps you do.
By the way, your artwork is quite offensive.
