The DOJ/FEC passed on pursuing trump therefore viewing it as not a campaign contribution. The state elected to pursue this charge against Trump without having to prove it other than from the words of a proven liar.
Bradley Smith could have helped the jury with what a campaign contribution is and is not.
He still had the chance to define that. Defense decided not to call him to do that.
The FEC passing on it doesn't mean there wasn't a crime. There are a lot of reasons (cost, political, witness quality, lack of benefit, immateriality) why they could have passed. See Joe Biden and his records for reasons they passed on prosecuting him...
Im with you that the State should have left this case alone.
