In her video announcing it she said she consulted with her lawyer and it's not actually illegal to spend donations on doing good things rather than just pissing billions of dollars away every election. The key is that it can't be conditioned on voting.

Interesting. I've definitely heard of politicians getting in trouble for using campaign donations for something not directly tied to the next election.

I'm certainly happy to hear that she's doing it.
