Our thought bubble via Axios' Lachlan Markay: Campaign finance reform advocates have long pointed to sub-vendor arrangements, such as the agreement between Perkins Coie and Fusion GPS, as a way campaigns can circumvent disclosure rules.
The nonprofit Campaign Legal Center sued the FEC this week over inaction on a complaint alleging the Trump campaign used sub-vendors to mask payments to Trump family members.
None of the parties to the DNC settlement admitted fault, nor did the FEC find any. Still, fines levied on high-profile political actors could spur more sub-vendor disclosure going forward.
The big picture: Trump sued Clinton last week, accusing her and dozens of others of working together to accuse him of colluding with Russia during the 2016 election.
Both the Clinton campaign and the DNC have said that they were not aware of the details of Steele's work in real-time, per CNN.
A bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report later affirmed the U.S. intelligence community's conclusion that Russia interfered in the election to help Trump defeat Clinton.
