How do donations from the NRA to congress work?

No, that would be simple bribery. The recipient isn't allowed to use the money for personal things or to co-mingle it with her own funds. Rather, it is paid to the election campaign committee. This is a nonprofit corporation registered with the Federal Election Commission as a campaign committee.

There are also Political Action Committees (PACs) that are technically independent of the candidate and not run by her, but which can still support her candidacy.

It's all rather complex.
