This is the Hillary Clinton Scandal No One's Talking About

Much has been made over ABC News’ investigation which revealed that during Hillary Clinton’s time at the State Department, a Clinton Foundation donor with no experience or expertise in the area, found himself on a government advisory board dealing with top secret nuclear strategy. That news came on the heels of the Inspector General’s damning report regarding Clinton’s emails, which revealed that the former Secretary of State violated the Federal Records Act. But nobody is talking about the scandal that should be rocking her presidential campaign — and is an even bigger deal now that she is the presumptive Democratic nominee. Clinton’s campaign is violating federal election law by coordinating with super PACs.

The Rules

Coordination between an independent expenditure group like a super PAC, and a candidate or his or her campaign, is expressly forbidden. As Joshua Holland of RawStory explains:

The FEC looks at coordination on the level of individual communications. It’s kosher for a super PAC to have general conversations about strategy with a campaign, as long as they don’t work together to produce specific ads.

Though Hillary Clinton’s campaign denies coordinating with super PACs, one of those super PACs tells a different story.

Though it calls itself a “strategic research and rapid response team,” Correct The Record (CTR) is a super PAC run by political hitman and Clinton ally, David Brock, which accepts unlimited donations. The International Business Times reported that Clinton’s campaign has donated to CTR to the tune of more than $280,000.
