My bank has a PAC and their suggested contribution for MDs is $2500 per year. LJL at me doing that when Elon with his billions only does 40k. I donated $50 to a law school friend who's running for state senate. No other asshole is getting my rubles.

Why would a compliance monkey care about what they suggest for MDs?

so how does this work? People can make unlimited contributions to PAC's and the PAC's can spend money on attack ads and issue ads but cannot directly support a candidate and cannot give money to the candidate?

Pretty much. PACs can donate direct to candidates but there is a 5k limit per candidate.

This appears to be a PAC giving his campaign $250K.
