    By "campaign donations" I assume you mean "bribes and kickbacks"?

      His mistake was giving more to the Dems, it's why he's landed a 25-year prison sentence under a Dem administration. Remember when half this forum was convinced that both parties are equally corrupt, based on their feeling that he will certainly walk? (That half of it is still convinced they are equally corrupt, but since their guy won and the ends justify the means, they no longer feel the need to articulate reasons for why they would feel that way.)

    No we don't even have to be that subtle any more just call it a gratuity and the supreme courts says it's AOK to give obvious bribes so long as no one provably said "I'll give you $X dollars for Y action". It's painful how blatantly the highest court in the land has been captured by the same people giving these bribes.
