Recently, a post from /r/the_fuhrer concerning the most recent DNC email leak reached r/all. The main focus of this post was this quote from an email:
"Can we set up a time for a very brief call to go over our process for handling donations from donors who have given us pay to play letters? Want to make sure we have a robust process in place to make sure that donations that come in from those donors, in any form, get put into the operating account."
All the Trump-loving brownshirts over there are trying to convince you that these 'pay to play' letters are in some way evidence that donors had illegal influence over Hillary's tenure as SoS. Now, I know that it is difficult for these people to read/do research on things, but in fact, the phrase 'pay to play letters' means the exact opposite of that.
Here's an explanation that I stole from redditor /u/Trumppered which concisely and brilliantly demonstrates the difference.
Pay to Play Rule: consists of 3 parts but the part that is important to this convo is:
A two-year prohibition on an adviser’s providing compensated investment advisory services to a government entity after a contribution has been made by the adviser or one of its covered associates;
In simple terms that means that if you are a donor, you agree to not provide your services to the govt for 2 years.
Pay to Play Letter: Is a letter from the donor acknowledging they are aware of, and will comply with the rule

Again, who you vote for is up to you, but don't let the idiots over on /r/The_Donald deceive you with what is blatant disinformation.
