The article linked at the top of this thread is the former thing. But maybe that’s not relevant.

Aren’t the rules on donations made by companies pretty restricted in the US? Isn’t it normally that companies persuade their employees to give to some company pac (as a deduction from their paycheck) and that pac then makes maximum campaign contributions to various politicians. (The limits on both contributions to the pac and to campaigns are pretty small. On the order of $5k. It seems unlikely to matter much to a politician but maybe they do care).

Maybe you’re not talking about the US or maybe I’m wrong or there is some other mechanism I don’t understand
