CLINTON CAMPAIGN SLAMS BERNIE FOR SAVING POOR PEOPLES' LIVES. A SuperPac coordinating with the

Clinton campaign has criticized Bernie Sanders for making a deal with Venezuela to supply discounted fuel to assist the poor during the harsh Vermont winter months. Vermont was one of six states that negotiated for fuel with Venezuela because the U.S. Government was unwilling to supply relief.

A Clinton campaign SuperPac, David Brock's (ex-Republican operative) "Correct the Record" asserts it can legally coordinate with the candidate, and circulated a hit email criticizing Sanders for making a deal that would save lives in his state of Vermont.

Super PACs are typically prohibited by law from coordinating with candidates, but Correct the Record will not be a typical super PAC. The group will not run ads, but instead does all of its work online, which it says will allow it to coordinate with the Clinton campaign.

The so-called “Internet exemption” was not intended to be used this way (it was created before the existence of super PACs), the Washington Post notes, but experts say Correct the Record is unlikely to face reprisal.
