Clinton Campaign Caught In Either Massive Coincidence Or Blatant Breaking Of Law
From all appearances, senior staff members from the Clinton campaign and from a super PAC supporting her candidacy worked together in their messaging regarding the candidate’s ongoing email controversy. The only problem is that federal election laws forbid candidate campaigns and PACs from “coordinating.”
During Hillary Clinton’s appearance on Meet the Press on Sunday, campaign senior adviser and spokeswoman Karen Finney tweeted at 10:16 a.m.:
Questions on @HillaryClinton‘s emails on this morning’s #MTP? Asked and answered. Time to move on.

Less than 20 minutes later, Brad Woodhouse, the head of the pro-Clinton super PAC Correct the Record, tweeted the exact same thing:
Questions on @HillaryClinton‘s emails on this morning’s #MTP? Asked and answered. Time to move on.
— Brad Woodhouse (@woodhouseb) September 27, 2015
The identical messaging did not stop with those two. Democrat strategist Hilary Rosen chimed in…
Questions on @HillaryClinton‘s emails on yesterday’s #MTP? Asked and answered. Time to move on.Please.
— Hilary Rosen (@hilaryr) September 28, 2015
…as did Former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm:
Cannot wait to see @HillaryClinton on @meetthepress this a.m.! Sounds like she answered every email question ever. Now, time to move on!
— Jennifer Granholm (@JenGranholm) September 27, 2015
Breitbart reports:
The Clinton campaign recently claimed that it can coordinate somewhat, within the law, with Correct the Record when it comes to Internet postings. The Clinton camp thinks that it can comment on Correct the Record’s online content, such as its videos, without being guilty of illegal coordination. But the FEC has still yet to confirm that. And can the campaign and the super PAC literally use the same exact talking point, seemingly copied and pasted from one Twitter account to another?
During the course of the interview, Clinton seemed to contradict the messaging by agreeing with host Chuck Todd that the story is ongoing. “It is like a drip, drip, drip,” she said, adding, “I want these questions to be answered.”
By federal court order, the State Department is required to review and release emails monthly that are responsive to multiple FOIA lawsuits by Judicial Watch. The next batch is due to be released this Wednesday.
Clinton also told Todd, despite previous assurances to the contrary, that she cannot personally guarantee all of her work-related emails have been turned over to the State Department.
“I’m very sure that my attorneys did the most meticulous job that could have been done,” she said.
She also could not guarantee that the FBI would not recover emails from her server that might raise more questions.
