(25,111 posts)1. Corporations are people too
Why not.
And you can't put a corporation in the electric chair either or lock a corporation in jail
But that doesn't mean that the Constitution doesn't apply to corporations either.

make the decisions that affect what that corporation will do in running the business.
The decision was made by people in charge to take money from Russians to promote their cause which was to elect trump.
