Related to this are emails between Clinton campaign advisor Philippe Reines and Marc Ambinder, a politics editor at The Atlantic. The emails showed a quid pro quo in which Ambinder used certain words and descriptions as requested in exchange for an advance copy of an HRC speech.
Our of curiosity - what laws do you think we're broken? I am legitimately asking. If favorable press coverage is a sign of corruption, what national politician isn't guilty?
IANAL, but I believe press mentions upon request are treated as political donations by the FEC. If not properly disclosed, it may be a problem. I don't have any experience with election law or regulation though.
They are giving favorable press coverage in return for exclusive interviews that will gave them more viewers ie money so I mean its corruption just money hasn't changed hands directly
