    Two things:

    • It being legally permissable doesn’t mean that it happens. Just like how the DNC’s argument that if the elections are rigged, it wouldn’t be illegal is not an admission that they rigged it. This statement is made without implying anything, it is a statement about formal logic.
    • Influence is not the same as control.

        Why do you suppose I included this sentence at the end of that bullet point?

        This statement is made without implying anything, it is a statement about formal logic.

        …and why did you, having read that, assume I made that implication anyway?
