Exclusive: Democrats Use ‘Pony Express’ to Coordinate Between Clinton Campaign, Super PACs

New video from James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas exposes a system called the “Pony Express,” which Democratic consultants allegedly use to relay messages between Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and a constellation of super-PACs funded by wealthy donors.

By law, campaigns are not permitted to coordinate with super PACs, especially in advertising, spending, and strategy, though they may communicate limited information about fundraising.

The Hillary Clinton campaign is well aware of the legal boundaries. The Wikileaks email trove produced a legal memorandum addressed to Hillary For America (HFA), explaining what types of communication are permitted and prohibited under federal campaign finance laws. It notes:

Communications between HFA and Priorities should generally be limited to each entity’s finance directors – Dennis Cheng (HFA) and Justin Brennan (Priorities). Communications between Dennis and Justin should be limited to fundraising; they should not discuss polling, research, or other nonpublic strategic information or plans pertaining to either organization’s communications or spending. Moreover, we understand that Justin is not privy to Priorities’ nonpublic strategic information or plans, which adds an additional layer of protection.

However, the communications described by Democracy Partners consultant Scott Foval arguably go far beyond that. According to Foval, a network of consultants maintains the “Pony Express,” which he describes as “a text conversation that never ends.” The information exchanged apparently includes strategy regarding “bird-dogging,” a practice where trained activists infiltrate Republican rallies and try to provoke violence.

Appears this was buried in the thread about "bird-dogging". Very interesting and heard O'Keefe say on Hannity that they coordinated with the President.

Hardly buried...starts at 5:30 into the video

It's great that this information is getting out, but who is going to stop them?
It is apparent that the people who have the authority to act are complicit.
The "Low Information" crowd, (more like the NO information crowd) couldn't be bothered and or are also complicit by the fact that they are only cheering for their team.
Any time you confront them with facts, they resort to the "They all do it" BS.
Our Government is corrupt at every level.

Generally, texts are stored by the service provider, even if deleted by the sender and receiver. Stored texts are subject to subpoena.

The law doesn’t apply to scumocrats

It’s easy to confuse low-info drones with low-info patriots.

A low info patriot cares but is totally turned off by politics.

If you walk up to a low-info citizen, odds are you find out that person does care — just has trouble trusting in your research.

[COBOL2Java]

Then there's the Silky Pony Express...

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

We need to break the ice with low-info patriots:

A. Come up with quick zingers that are easy to understand.

B. Convince them of the truth.

O’Keefe was on the Hannity radio show.

Thanks Wild Highlander 57, rumors abound that Obummer is trying to detach himself from the Clinton campaign. I would take it with a grain of salt for now.

Did not matter..then

Won't matter now.....

This is also how the news media communicates debate questions to Clinton and coordinates strategy. Also, probably, how federal judges discuss cases with the DNC. They are all too smart to put it in emails.

Phony Express.

Everything leftists do is illicit if not illegal.

You can bet that there are very advanced StingRay type devices being set up and used anywhere the candidates travel to. There is definitely a record of who is contacting who, and probably detailed info of the content of those texts and calls. Determining who the keepers of that information are and if they could be persuaded to disclose such is another matter.

The staged protests and the attempts to provoke violence at Trump rallies seem to be well coordinated between the goon squads and the Clinton campaign. In fact, Hillary, herself, has repeatedly opined that Trump supporters are prone to bigotry and violence while her rent-a-mobs are trying to provoke such incidents at Republican campaign rallies.

During the past week, Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, the wife of convicted felon, Bob Creamer, took part in a staged protest outside of Trump Towers in Chicago.
