Why is this still a story? We already know (that this article of course ignores) that:

• The group who hired the lobbying firm said they didn't hire Thompson
  
• Thompson wasn't working for the lobbying firm when this group hired them.

  This article is taking a legal statement about how legal representation works and twisting it to say he did actually work for this firm.

Because given 3 opportunities to deny doing this work, he hasn’t. Looks a bit fishy, in light of his campaign manger’s blanket denial.
