1) This... happens quite literally all the time. I'm not saying this isn't corruption, but this is incredibly widespread and often doesn't carry many penalties.
2) Look up 'zombie campaigns'

3) I'm not a lawyer, I haven't looked into the legality or anything, but the long and short from what I've gathered is this:
4) The minute money goes into a campaign fund, the only way it leaves is by getting spent. The law doesn't seem to care whether an active campaign is occurring or if the candidate in question is dead.
5) Paying kids exorbitant salaries? A-ok. Fine dining decades after you left office? S'all good.
6) Paul Ryan announced he's retiring, yet he's still taking several hundred thousand dollars in campaign donations.
7) The hell do you THINK is going to happen to that money? That campaign fund is his retirement fund.
8) I went over Pelosi and her 'Better Deal' she was trying to hawk on Twitter. Look at the campaign funding corruption she talks about.
9) Citizens United and SuperPAC 'dark money', as if Dems didn't already use the IRS to ensure the Republicans and the Tea Party would be at a disadvantage against the Dems in regards to SuperPACs in the Obama era.
10) What she doesn't touch? Laws around how campaign donations are spent, really campaign funds themselves, which EVERYONE has, and EVERYONE plans to use after they've left office. Take a look at Conyers and Franken. See how much money THEY took in before resigning.
11) You think any of that money will be recovered? HELL NAH. We're looking at the briefcases of bribe money being carried around in broad freaking daylight.
