Clinton Speeches May Have Violated FEC Campaign Laws

aside from the fact she was touting the J-1 Visa program (low wage foreign workers used for slave labor), there was apparently a time overlap between the speeches and the start of her campaign.....

supposed FEC violations which have been resolved.
