This is why I'm not a fan of rallies, because they aren't intended to be substantive.

Nope. The reason it violated campaign finance laws was because it was a contribution to the campaign above the maximum allowable and was not reported. Because the payoff(s) occurred to prevent damage to the campaign, it is considered a contribution even if the money never hits the campaign accounts.
