Whe would CTR have to coordinate with the Clinton campaign?

[LAS14]

Can anyone explain why Correct the Record would have to coordinate with the Clinton campaign in order to do what they propose to do? I don't get it. This is apparently in connection with their plan to push back against Bernie Bros on line.

Due to FEC loopholes, the Sunlight Foundation’s Libby Watson found this year that Correct the Record can openly coordinate with Clinton’s campaign, despite rules that typically disallow political campaigns from working directly with PACs.


“SuperPACs aren’t supposed to coordinate with candidates. The whole reasoning behind (Supreme Court decision) Citizens United rests on (PACs) being independent, but Correct the Record claims it can coordinate,” Watson told The Daily Beast. “It’s not totally clear what their reasoning is, but it seems to be that material posted on the Internet for free—like, blogs—doesn’t count as an ‘independent expenditure.’”

2. They don't "have" to, of course.

But it certainly gives them an edge if they do. And like everything else the Clinton Camp does, it's about pushing the rules as far as they possibly can.

3. According to Brock, it does not come into play for internet communications,

However there have been so much money passed back and forth between her different PACs, and from non-profits that, from what I can tell, are just pass through organizations to hide donors, it does appear that they are last concealing something, if not breaking the law. I plan to make a flow chart out of this when I get time, to show the direction, dates, and amount of the transactions. The real question, I think, is whether Correct the Record is acting as liaison between her campaing and Priorites USA, which does a lot of media buys on her behalf. BTW, Hillary for American paid almost $200,000 to Correct the Record, for opposition research, I presume on Sanders and O'Malley, since there are other entities doing opposition research on the Republican candidates. She doesn't seem to have gotten much for her money.
