The Daily Beast explains the brazen scheme involving the Vance campaign and the Trumper-billionaire Thiel's super PAC, as laid out in a complaint by watchdog groups Campaign Legal Center and End Citizens United:
[The complaint] alleges that the Vance campaign and the Protect Ohio Values super PAC coordinated for months through a secret website, where the PAC posted hundreds of pages of valuable information—including strategic assessments, messaging proposals, opposition research, video footage, internal polling data, and even a draft script the campaign adopted in for a late-game ad.
...
Federal law prohibits coordination between campaigns and super PACs. And the watchdogs lay out a remarkably brazen scheme that spanned several months, accusing the groups of unlawful coordination, reporting violations, and impermissible in-kind donations with a value in the millions of dollars.
The website was not technically secret but the material posted was clearly intended for Vance campaign eyes only.
