So raising money for the national and state parties is now somehow corruption?
Would a Sanders supporter who is outraged about this explain just how these entities should otherwise reinforce down-ballot races and field candidates for offices besides President? It certainly won't happen via most of the angsty, pissy factions of the Left that can't organize themselves out of a paper bag and have such a pathetically-narrow focus on and obsession over one race.
They gave the money to the DNC, it was just a way to get around direct contribution limits. This wasn't helping down ticket races.
Care to explain where you believe all the rest of the $353k that doesn't end up in the DNC's coffers is going?

OK, fair enough: you actually made your point.
Nevertheless, the money (as best I can tell) is not being transferred into Clinton's campaign coffers. Likely, the money is being diverted into swing state parties.
So the money is going to the DNC, but no one has bothered to look what the DNC is spending it on?
According to the DNC FEC filings for 2015, the DNC received $9,693,775 in "transfers from affiliated committees," which sounds like what is being described above, and in turn transferred $13,927,323 out to affiliated committees, likely the state parties in the Senate and Congressional Campaign Committees.
