I ask because of this ruling in NRA vs FEC:

[T]he initial disbursement of corporate treasury monies
is a loan, advance, or something of value to both the
candidate and the corporation’s separate segregated
fund…. None of the exceptions in the Act or regula-
tions remove such a disbursement from the general
prohibition of s 441b…. [O]nce the [corporation] dis-
burses its treasury funds to pay an employee for political
services rendered to a Federal candidate, … the [corpo-
ration] makes a prohibited contribution or expenditure
and a violation of the Act occurs…. [A] reimbursement
payment method … does not cause the violation to
abate.

" Simple answer to simple question: NO. It is not a campaign contribution if a private company chooses to pay someone's salary while they take time off to do something personal, be it political or other. If she was a government employee, there would be an issue, but she's not, so you are just fishing for a scandal. (FYI: I don't support Hillary, but don't support false implied speculation of wrong-doing, either.) “If the company is paying her to go around and campaign for her mother, isn’t that a campaign contribution? ”
