There’s really no significant nexus documented here between Yass’ political giving and the legality of his tax avoidance strategy. He’s a free-market libertarian who hates paying taxes. He donates to groups and candidates that agree with his philosophy. Maybe in 2025 a GOP trifecta that had help winning from Yass (and many, many others) will zero out all capital gains taxes or something, but that’s not corrupt, it’s just the long term policy see-saw tilting a different way.

Joe Biden could offer a pardon for anyone who manages to assassinate a a conservative within a federal jurisdiction and it would be completely legal within our system, however I suspect some would still find it problematic.

It's literally corruption. Your constituency is not your donors; it's your voters. The fact that this raises no concerns to the majority of Americans speaks to how cynical we all are.
