Well the current law is that a campaign can't take anything of value from a foreign national or a foreign country. So like money and dirt and probably other stuff too. I'm pretty sure that there are laws that make it so that campaigns have to record where the money is coming from so officials can always look into those records. Also ian investigation can be used to find evidence to prove someone guilty. |
The other question to ask is, what exactly constitutes value in terms of info in this case? What if a campaign uses a tonne of foreign info that they deem as valuable against their opponent, only to end up losing to their opponent anyway? How valuable is dirt that is supposed to damage your opponent bad enough for yourself to secure victory, if you don't end up victorious? How do you quantify the value? Use the changes in polls, because they're so reliable?
So if you win and used foreign dirt you should pay for it because it must have helped you, but if you lose, the dirt obviously wasn't very valuable so it doesn't matter? If you lose and still have to pay for it, then obviously foreign dirt must be seen as extremely useful, so why does the law want to hide this?
