"I have no difficulty at all in beleiving a lawyer would keep this from the DNC/Campaign"

A lawyer, or all people, would seem very interested in complyiance with FEC rules on reporting campaign expenditures. Members of the campaign keeping secrets from the people who report to regulatory agencies seems like terrible legal advice.

HRC may not have known, but somebody prominent in the campaign almost certainly did...until that person comes forward, this story will continue to dominate the news cycle.
