It is not and should not be illegal for anybody to make their views on political issues known.

It’s much more questionable when we start to look at organised funding and lobbying. We have those rules specifically to prevent elections being bought with cash.

Except that didn't actually happen. The German government (not Angela Merkel) contributed money for an environmental project running in Kenya and Ethiopia which the Clinton Foundation was also involved in.
