So where do you draw the dollar line of protected free speech versus it's ok to punish that person for their political views?

$100 dollars is apparently protected free speech by your logic, but $1.25 million dollars is a punishable offense.

Is $1000 dollars ok? $10,000?, $100,000? Where are you going to draw the line.

Also, by this line of thinking then the converse must also apply; if someone donates to Clinton and someone in a position holding power over them supports Trump then they can equally dole out punishments...
