They can put the money in a PAC. They won’t be able to have liquid access to it, but a well aligned PAC can still assist a new candidate.
So which well-aligned PAC are they going to transfer 230 plus million dollars to?
My guess is they’d use multiple in case one went rogue. Best not to have all the eggs in one basket.
My concern was of shady stuff. But I talked to my friend who has worked on a few conservative campaigns and works for a PAC now. He said that it could be done but they won’t be able to have access to any of it. The PAC will have to decide how the money is spent.
I’m not sure if they’re allowed to communicate with them, I should have asked.
He’s a conservative though who’s well aware of the game. He didn’t have any concerns that it would be shady. He even said it would likely be a hindrance.
But that’s just me any my buddy having talks over some drinks. So grain of salt and all that.

In that article, Dr. Wolf actually makes a very good case for the possibility that Dr. Jill did some serious string pulling in order to 'arrange' for the seriously incompetent security coverage by the Secret Service at Trump's 'nearly fatal' event.
It's a really good read - highly recommend it to any interested!

KXTV released a series of reports chronicling PG&E's liabilities after committing 91 felonies in the Santa Rosa and Paradise fires. Newsom was accused of accepting campaign donations from PG&E in order to change the CPUC's ruling on PG&E's safety license. The rating change allowed PG&E to avoid billions of dollars in extra fees. Newsom was also accused of setting up the Wildfire Insurance Fund via AB 1054, using ratepayer fees, so PG&E could avoid financial losses[185][186] and pass the liability costs to ratepayers and taxpayers
