12:09Now PlayingA super-PAC supporting Hillary Clinton has accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign donations that are specifically banned by federal law. They don’t seem to care about the law, possibly because it hasn’t been enforced. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola (ThinkTank), hosts of The Young Turks, break it down.
