Well, the story is probably popular here and on Reddit because it makes people suspicious of each other and also makes us, as commentators, feel important. Somebody is being paid a lot of money to get at us!<p>But the real reason that this is a news story is because SuperPACs have one defining trait: they don&#x27;t coordinate with the candidates at all. However, in this particular instance, due to &quot;loopholes&quot;, this SuperPAC is able to coordinate directly with the Clinton campaign. In essence, Clinton gets direct control over SuperPAC money for this specific purpose, which is newsworthy if fairly dry.
