Donna Brazile: I found 'proof' the DNC rigged the nomination for Hillary Clinton
Brazile claims DNC rigged system to throw primary to Hillary
The fix was in after all.
Last year's presidential primary between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders was rigged by the Democratic National Committee - just as Sanders' supporters suspected - to hand the nomination to Clinton, according to a bombshell claim by Donna Brazile. The onetime Clinton confidante, CNN commentator and former interim party boss made the explosive claim Thursday while touting a new book that could sever her ties to Team Clinton for good.
“I had promised Bernie when I took the helm of the Democratic National Committee after the convention that I would get to the bottom of whether Hillary Clinton’s team had rigged the nomination process, as a cache of emails stolen by Russian hackers and posted online had suggested,” Brazile wrote in a piece for Politico Magazine.

Reuters (Donna Brazile made the explosive claim Thursday she uncovered evidence during the 2016 presidential campaign that Hillary Clinton’s campaign “rigged the nomination process” through a secret arrangement with the Democratic National Committee.)
“By Sept. 7, the day I called Bernie, I had found my proof and it broke my heart,” Brazile said.The proof, according to Brazile, was a joint fundraising agreement document between the DNC, the Hillary Victory Fund and Hillary for America. It had been signed in August 2015, four months after Clinton announced her candidacy and a year before she officially secured the nomination over Sanders.

“The agreement—signed by Amy Dacey, the former CEO of the DNC, and Robby Mook with a copy to Marc Elias—specified that in exchange for raising money and investing in the DNC, Hillary would control the party’s finances, strategy, and all the money raised,” Brazile wrote. “Her campaign had the right of refusal of who would be the party communications director, and it would make final decisions on all the other staff.”Brazile took over as the interim DNC chairman in 2016 when Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz was forced out as chairman over the emails, which indicated the party organization unfairly favored Clinton over Sanders during the primary.
The ardent supporters of Sanders, the Democratic socialist, have long accused the party establishment of actively taking steps to benefit Clinton during the primary.

In a statement to Fox News, Wasserman Schultz didn’t directly address Brazile’s claims, but defended her tenure leading the committee."It was a tremendous honor to be asked by President Obama to serve as chair of the DNC,” Wasserman Schultz said Thursday. “I am proud of the work our team did to support Democrats up and down the ballot in the 2016 election and to re-elect the president in 2012.”
DNC spokesman Xochitl Hinojosa, who works under current DNC chairman Tom Perez, told Fox News the party’s official policy is to not take sides during the primaries.
“The DNC must remain neutral in the presidential primary process, and there shouldn’t even be a perception that the DNC is interfering in that process,” Hinojosa said.

She said joint fundraising committees were created between the DNC and the Clinton and Sanders campaigns during the 2016 cycle but Clinton was the only candidate who raised money for the party.The piece, titled “Inside Hillary Clinton’s secret takeover of the DNC,” is excerpted from Brazile’s forthcoming book, which is being published this month.
After taking over, she said she went in search for “evidence of internal corruption that would show that the DNC was rigging the system to throw the primary to Hillary.”
“I had been wondering why it was that I couldn’t write a press release without passing it by Brooklyn,” she wrote. “Well, here was the answer.”
It’s typical, she said, for candidates to make such arrangements with party organizations – but after they’ve won the nomination. Brazile said the arrangement does not appear to be “illegal, but it sure looked unethical.”
“If the fight had been fair, one campaign would not have control of the party before the voters had decided which one they wanted to lead,” she said. “This was not a criminal act, but as I saw it, it compromised the party’s integrity.”

What a fricken hypocrite.
She gives Hillary debate questions and now she's trying to profit indirectly off her subterfuge by writing a book about how Hillary stacked the deck?
Unbelievable!
It's called CYA when subpoenas start arriving on Dummycrat doorsteps.
Merry Christmas!!
Oh, the fantasies right-wingers create for themselves.
And, Merry Christmas!!
I said months ago in Newsvine that democrats would turn on her. It didn't take that long, though from an unexpected source. Didn't Brazile provide her with the questions from the town hall meetings? I guess Brazile cant live with the loss. What Clinton did with the DNC is understandable. She got blindsided in the 2008 primaries by media darling Barak Obama. Last time around she had all openings sewed up and she still got a bit of a run from a 76 year old Socialist
One democrat. But why does Hillary still haunt people like you so much. It's like a fixation. It's almost as if her very presence means Trump's "win" isn't really enough for you. Is it that there's more chance of Trump going to prison now than there ever was for her?
Oh heavens....Hilda doesn't haunt us....she haunts all the left wingers who wish she would just shut up and go away. She is an ongoing gift to the Republicans....she can't help herself. She really believes she is still relevant and is worshiped by her empty headed subjects.
Nope, by her own choice, the foolish, corrupt woman has established herself as the leader of the Democrat party, and will not let anyone take it away from her. I suspect Brazile might be just the first to not want to go down with Hilda and her.co-conspirators.
Hillary doesn't haunt sane people. We pity her. Hillary has kept Hillary in the limelight because she still doesn't want to understand What Happened. Donna Brazile, for whatever reason, exposed the DNC, Obama, and Hillary. I hope Brazile has arranged for 24/7 security detail, because she's going to need it.
Wrong again....It's not just Brazile, even Liz Warren said it.
Is it that there's more chance of Trump going to prison now than there ever was for her?
You mean she has walked from so many crimes because Obama's Justice department got to do the investigating & now you expect to convict Trump with nothing? No, I don't think that will happen though progressives are deeply invested in it. What is happening now is we are still finding more things Hillary has done, such as fixing the democratic primary, the uranium one deal and paying for the "Steele Dossier". Rational people know that the Clintons have always been sleazy. It takes indoctrination to accept it.
haunt? not a chance.... the USA simply loves watching crooks get locked up.
hillary is like a slow motion train wreck in progress.... looking away is simply no fun
Merry Christmas!
I point out how haunted you all are and you almost knock each other down to prove it. Thanks and
Merry Christmas!!!
What's funny is, the libs will still defend Hillary, they will now send the attack dogs after Brazille.
“Inside Hillary Clinton’s secret takeover of the DNC,”
big secret!
honest hillary rigged the primary? LOL
CNN and the DNC used Brazile and then let her take the fall. I wouldn't be surprised if this is mainly about revenge - not that that makes her allegations untrue.
I wonder if she would have ever told the truth if Hillary had won.
It is rigged by it's very nature, so is the Republican primary. They are rigged in different ways, but the establishment candidate is given an advantage. I was a Bernie guy myself, Hillary's too conservative for my liking. I was bothered by her getting too close to the big money, certain speeches, etc. Not sure why the right was bothered by it, the Republicans are the lapdogs for the Goldman/Sachs of the world.
It didn't happen in 2012 when Clinton was the presumed nominee expecting to be coronated in a very weak field of candidates which is why Clinton didn't take any chances in 2016.
In 2016, Jeb Bush was left in the dust almost from day 1 and he was the establishment candidate with the most backing and money.
Am I the only one who thinks that Brazile won't see Christmas?
Hillary saw you post that Jeremy!
Nope. But maybe we could ask Seth Rich, Mary Mahoney, Jim McDougal, Ron Brown, Paul Tulley, Jerry Parks, James Milan, et al ---- oh wait --- we can't ask them.
I wonder about all of the mysterious deaths linked to the Clintons , but James Milan's death is intriguing:
Here is the Gregg Jarett article, he bring up some interesting points.....
"The indictments of Manafort and Gates now present a unique opportunity to challenge the authority of the special counsel.
Until now, no one had legal “standing” to argue in court that the appointment of Mueller was illegal. The criminal charges change all that. The two defendants will be able to argue before a judge that Mueller’s appointment by Acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein violated the special counsel law.
As I pointed out in a column last May, the law (28 CFR 600) grants legal authority to appoint a special counsel to investigate crimes. Only crimes. He has limited jurisdiction. Yet, in his order appointing Mueller as special counsel (Order No. 3915-2017), Rosenstein directed him to investigate “any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump.” It fails to identify any specific crimes, likely because none are applicable.
To put it plainly, Mueller is tasked with finding a crime that does not exist in the law. It is a legal impossibility. He is being asked to do something that is manifestly unattainable.
If the federal judge agrees, Mueller and his team would be disbanded by judicial order. The Department of Justice would have to seek a new indictment of Manafort and Gates without the special counsel or drop the case entirely.
The naming of Robert Mueller was tainted with disqualifying conflicts of interest from the beginning. Fired FBI Director James Comey admitted he leaked presidential memos to the media for the sole purpose of triggering the appointment of a special counsel who just happens to be Comey’s longtime friend, ally and partner.
It is no coincidence that Rosenstein appointed Mueller. We now know both men were overseeing the corrupt Uranium One sale which involved Russian bribes, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering. They appear to have kept it secret, even hiding it from Congress which would surely have cancelled the transaction involving a vital national security asset. A cover-up? It has the stench of one.
How can Americans have confidence in the outcome of the Trump-Russia matter if the integrity and impartiality of Mueller and Rosenstein has been compromised by their suspected cover-up of the Clinton-Russia case? Both men should resign."
LOL. Somebody is scared! I told you all to be patient! It's not as easy as you want, trying to squash an investigation by a special prosecutor. If I remember right, the last guy to obstruct ended up resigning before his term was up. After that republicans went after Clinton and you can thank them for what is happening today! Trump can't do jack, in the end he will be held accountable. All your failed old Hillary scandals won't help either.
I can see I didn't answer in the right place. Not belonging to any party, as far as I'm concerned ditch all the parties and start over, I haven't been able to even vote in primaries until this year so am not vested in the party crap.
I thought this was old news.
Sane, educated people knew all along, but now Democrats and left-wing media are eating their own --- Donna Brazile, CNN, Elizabeth Warren, among others. What Crooked Hillary, Obama, and the Lying DNC didn't understand was that by throwing Bernie Sanders under the bus so they could "crown" Hillary, they caused millions of Bernie supporters to vote for Trump.
I thought this was old news.
Now Liz Warren agrees:
Now CNN admits:
Congratulations, all you smarter than we, political strategy theorists, and foreseers of the future. Hilarys' secret is out. The Clinton campaign is kaput! She, and her minions have been found out. Let her get the justice and the treatment she deserves. All of you keyboard lawyers and politically, personally, assaulted victims, get on with it. Please get it out in the open, take whatever revenge you want, assauge your butt-hurt egos with victory!
Now quit beating this dead horse forever, and get on with it. Stop showing your pettiness by seeding constant, daily, same ol' shit articles about Hilary. It's over, it's done she lost. we all get it!
While I'm tired of the same old presentation of Hilary Clinton I do think this article shouldn't be discarded. It has significance. It's an example of what people will do to manipulate an outcome. There are many idioms that we can site that would be appropriate here, e.g. the end justifies the means, do as I say, not as I do..... etc.. But let's not pretend that this doesn't go on in both parties. The RNC is just better at keeping it's secrets, or it used to be before President Trump.
I've always found Ms. Brazile someone who understands the importance of weighing one's words. So I'm hoping the purpose of this book was a wake up call, an appeal of sorts for the DNC to reassess who they are and who they want to be going forward (while also earning that almighty dollar).
The DNC doesn't seem to have realized it's marching towards a path to nowhere as far as I can tell. In fact, they are chasing people away and it will only benefit the Republicans. Not because DNC defectors will go republican but because they will either go 3rd party or no party.
She is part of the problem with the Democrat party, not the exception. Wasn't she well aware of the corruption going on months before Hillary's primary win. She should have spoken out then? If she really cared about the integrity of the party, she would have.
Wow.....Trump was RIGHT !
The process "IS" rigged.....depending on what your definition of "IS".....is.
I guess I gained a very tiny amount of respect for the DNC since they too realize what a complete moron Bernie and his socialist ideas are.
Bernie may be a moron but Hillary still had to cheat to beat him and then lost to someone the DNC thinks is both a moron and deplorable. I bet she would have been too embarrassed to show her face in public if she hadn’t blamed the Russians (who only exposed her election rigging) and acted like she lost because she was the innocent victim of Russian espionage. What gall.
This is what I mean about people who have to keep telling themselves and everyone else that Trump "won" don't really seem or act like winners. You see the same thing from fans whose team wins a game on a horrible ref call.
Uh....what we are doing is called "gloating" and saying "I told ya so's".
Hillary and the whole left political machine is criminal and corrupt, and we are celebrating the Dems downfall and descent into irrelevance.
Don't ya wish it ended there ?
Flynn, manafort, Gates, Sessions.
Seems to me trump's picks of "The Best of the Best" are sorely lacking good vetting.
Head of the DNC basically accuses Clintons of money laundering and Democrats yell "who cares, move on"
So as it was, so was it ever will be with the Clintons and their apologists. They've perfected a game plan through decades of practice:
Step One: Lie. And then modify the lie every time part of it gets gets exposed.
Step Two:
(a) Promise transparency and stonewall, using every fake privilege imaginable to stymie any effort to expose their lies to sunlight.
(b) Assassinate the character of anyone of exposes the lies.
Step Three: Start talking about conspiracies out to get the Clintons.
Step Four: When every lie is proven false and even the Clintons themselves can't stretch the lie any further, yell "it's old news, move on."
I see the Clinton army has moved onto Step 4.
I love all this new "news"....all fresh and juicy as the Democrat party continues its slow act of self destruction.
Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, had not been the most active chair in fundraising her neglect had left the party in significant debt. As Hillary’s campaign gained momentum,the Clintons resolved the party’s debt.
Debbie was not a good manager. She hadn’t been very interested in controlling the party—she let Clinton’s headquarters in Brooklyn do as it desired.
.........................................................................
So, the DNC took Clinton’s money and agreed that the Clintons wanted and would have some control of what that money was spent on.
So.…Cry me a river.
Don't want to be beholden... Don't take someone’s money. …. No problem.
Her job seemed to be helping Hillary not raising money. She ran the DNC into the ground financially and Hillary just happened to be willing to secretly buy it. Once the DNC election rigging scandal broke, Debbie resigned her job as Hillary’s DNC puppet and then had the gall to go directly to work for the puppeteer in her campaign. The whole thing looks like a scheme.

its very telling, as it's clear that DWS brings no skills to the table
with any luck? hillary will run again in 2020
maybe the supermax has a work program?
Do people really realize how lucky we are that H. Clinton is not president? With all the rhetoric back and forth the bottom line she is NOT president.
And, where are all the people who were going to move out of U.S. if Trump became president?
No. After a year, they're still whining that Trump "stole" her presidential tiara.
They're still making millions of $$$ in CA, NYC, and Washington, DC.
They need to get a life!
How bad Trump is it is nowhere near how bad it would be for our Country if H. Clinton was president.
Her own husband can't stand to be with her!
