Hillary Clinton’s shadow campaign, Ready For Hillary, is making plans for a “list swap” when Clinton’s official campaign launches in 2015, suggesting Ready For Hillary is nothing but a ruse as an organization independent of Hillary Clinton.
Ready for Hillary, the energetic, pro-Clinton super PAC, plans to shut down for good if and when Clinton announces for president, but not before finding a home for two key assets: A massive e-mail list of roughly 3 million supporters that the group has generated and its extensive social media network, which includes more than 2 million Facebook fans and roughly 150,000 Twitter followers. … The e-mail list and corresponding data are expected to be transferred to Clinton’s official campaign in what is called a “list swap” – a legally complicated process that will surely be scrutinized by outside groups, such as the Campaign Legal Center, which work to enforce campaign finance laws.
Ready For Hillary is also considering handing over its social media accounts to Clinton-allied outside groups when Clinton’s official campaign launches.
The fate of Ready for Hillary’s social media accounts is still undecided. But, Adam Parkhomenko, the Executive Director of the super PAC has an idea: Transfer its Facebook and Twitter accounts in to the hands of another pro-Democratic group, Emily’s List. “At the end of the day, if they wanted it, Facebook and Twitter would probably move to Emily’s List,” Parkhomenko told ABC News in a recent interview.
