The complaints filed by the FEC are real and they may very well indeed threaten the continued existence of the Campaign for Liberty under this criminal federal regime.

And after reading that, it seems pretty clear that Campaign for Liberty has violated the law.

So what crime did they commit? Exercising their right to free speech?

From what I understand, being used to permit to individuals to give more money to a candidate than the contribution limit.

How that worked: Someone gives the maximum contribution to the candidate and gives money to Campaign for Liberty because the candidate said them to give the remainder of the contribution to Campaign for Liberty and some others organisations Those organisations give him the money they collected for him. It is saw as a illegal mean of evading the contribution limit.
