She then proceeds to blow the lid off of a scheme through which the Clinton campaign exploited the DNC's shambolic and desperate financial straits (the place is still a mess) to take effective control of the party...during the primary. Brazil writes that after she took the helm as acting DNC chair, she vowed to get to the bottom of allegations of unfair treatment. What she found was straight-up rigging. Bernie supporters should be livid: Individuals who had maxed out their $2,700 contribution limit to the campaign could write an additional check for $353,400 to the Hillary Victory Fund—that figure represented $10,000 to each of the thirty-two states’ parties who were part of the Victory Fund agreement—$320,000—and $33,400 to the DNC. The money would be deposited in the states first, and transferred to the DNC shortly after that. Money in the battleground states usually stayed in that state, but all the other states funneled that money directly to the DNC, which quickly transferred the money to Brooklyn. “Wait,” I said. “That victory fund was supposed to be for whoever was the nominee, and the state party races. You’re telling me that Hillary has been controlling it since before she got the nomination?” Gary said the campaign had to do it or the party would collapse. The timeline is damning. Brazile writes that the 'victory fund' agreement that basically placed the Democratic National Committee under the control of Hillary Clinton's campaign was signed months before a single primary vote was cast. This is extraordinary: "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 writes, stating the obvious. I'll note that this extraordinary scheme somehow didn't make it into What Happened. How strange. Finally, Brazile describes her phone call revealing these discoveries to Bernie -- placed on September 7, in the thick of the general election's home stretch: Deep rifts and dysfunctionality exist within the Republican Party, but these revelations should send shockwaves through the Democratic Left. Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump repeatedly suggested that Hillary Clinton's party had secretly manipulated the rules of the game to make sure that anyone who challenged her would be crushed. They were right. And the millions of people who voted for -- and donated to Bernie Sanders -- were betrayed and lied to. I'll leave you with this: Brazile casts herself as a truth-finding pillar of integrity in this account, but beyond sitting on this information for more than a year, didn't she also play an active role in pro-Hillary rigging? Poster Comment: The Bernie Bros were right all along: it was a rigged game. Fire up the microwave and pop some popcorn; things are about to get really ugly inside the Democratic Party. Throughout the primary election cycle last year, Bernie Sanders and his supporters angrily alleged that the DNC -- supposedly a neutral arbiter -- was actually in the tank for Hillary Clinton. This was denied up and down, with a top Hillary spokesman even wielding Bernie's questions about party favoritism as an attack against him. The subtext of these tweets was, look at this disloyal, conspiratorial loser. Memory lane: #tbt from @brianefallon. pic.twitter.com/imlSAuccgh— Jimmy (@JimmyPrinceton) November 2, 2017
Yeah, about that. In her forthcoming book, former DNC chair Donna Brazile absolutely unloads on her party, blasting Barack Obama for decimating the DNC's finances, savaging the leadership of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and confirming that yes, Hillary Clinton's campaign had the party in its pocket long before she was its nominee. You'll likely recall Donald Trump's frequent play to Bernie supporters during the general election, claiming that the Democratic establishment "rigged" the nominating process against Sanders and for Clinton. He probably didn't even realize how absolutely accurate that characterization was. Politico has published an extended excerpt from Brazile's book, and oh my, is it explosive. First, she takes a hatchet to the state of the party heading into the 2016 election: My predecessor, Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, had not been the most active chair in fundraising at a time when President Barack Obama’s neglect had left the party in significant 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 she didn’t have to inform the party officers how bad the situation was. The Saturday morning after the convention in July, I called Gary Gensler, the chief financial officer of Hillary’s campaign. He wasted no words. He told me the Democratic Party was broke and $2 million in debt. “What?” I screamed. “I am an officer of the party and they’ve been telling us everything is fine and they were raising money with no problems.” That wasn’t true, he said. Officials from Hillary’s campaign had taken a look at the DNC’s books. Obama left the party $24 million in debt—$15 million in bank debt and more than $8 million owed to vendors after the 2012 campaign and had been paying that off very slowly. Obama’s campaign was not scheduled to pay it off until 2016...If I didn’t know about this, I assumed that none of the other officers knew about it, either. That was just Debbie’s way. In my experience she didn’t come to the officers of the DNC for advice and counsel. She seemed to make decisions on her own and let us know at the last minute what she had decided, as she had done when she told us about the hacking only minutes before the Washington Post broke the news. 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. I’d had my suspicions from the moment I walked in the door of the DNC a month or so earlier, based on the leaked emails. But who knew if some of them might have been forged? I needed to have solid proof, and so did Bernie. So I followed the money...By September 7...I had found my proof and it broke my heart...The [Clinton] campaign had the DNC on life support, giving it money every month to meet its basic expenses, while the campaign was using the party as a fund-raising clearing house. Under FEC law, an individual can contribute a maximum of $2,700 directly to a presidential campaign. But the limits are much higher for contributions to state parties and a party’s national committee. 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. 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. The DNC also was required to consult with the campaign about all other staffing, budgeting, data, analytics, and mailings. I had been wondering why it was that I couldn’t write a press release without passing it by Brooklyn. Well, here was the answer...When the party chooses the nominee, the custom is that the candidate’s team starts to exercise more control over the party...This victory fund agreement, however, had been signed in August 2015, just four months after Hillary announced her candidacy and nearly a year before she officially had the nomination. I had to keep my promise to Bernie. I was in agony as I dialed him. Keeping this secret was against everything that I stood for, all that I valued as a woman and as a public servant. “Hello, senator. I’ve completed my review of the DNC and I did find the cancer,” I said. “But I will not kill the patient.”...I told Bernie I had found Hillary’s Joint Fundraising Agreement. I explained that the cancer was that she had exerted this control of the party long before she became its nominee. Had I known this, I never would have accepted the interim chair position, but here we were with only weeks before the election. Bernie took this stoically. He did not yell or express outrage. Instead he asked me what I thought Hillary’s chances were. The polls were unanimous in her winning but what, he wanted to know, was my own assessment? I had to be frank with him. I did not trust the polls, I said. I told him I had visited states around the country and I found a lack of enthusiasm for her everywhere. I was concerned about the Obama coalition and about millennials...When I hung up the call to Bernie, I started to cry, not out of guilt, but out of anger. We would go forward. We had to.

Does this mean that Donna Brazile is not going to get a Christmas Card from Bill, Hillary, and Obutthole ??

Just like Bob Dole in '96... (Did you know that old coot is still alive?)
What? WHAT?????? You mean to tell me the Clinton's were stealing money for personal use? AHM SHOCKED! SHOCKED,AH TELLS YA! Why,back when ah wuz a boy,back when it was legal to be a boy,nuna this stuff wooda happened!(Foghorn Leghorn voice) I do have to admit that I am personally shocked that a long time Clinton Groupie like Donna Brazile would be the one that outs them. Her whole career is based on Clinton backing. Makes me wonder what knife they stuck in her back. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
You misspelled "Dolt". In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
And effing Jorge Dubya Arbusto-Bush bought the nomination in Y2K...
And effing Jorge Dubya Arbusto-Bush bought the nomination in Y2K... You don't have to buy what you already own. BTW,coming from Brazile,this is YUGE! Can't wait to see the Dim TV spokescritters trying to dismiss her as a Republican plant. Although it does seem to be the Republican Party of today is mostly populated by plants. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Hmmm. This seems to be a more egregious crime than Manafort not reporting as a foreign agent and hiding the money he earned. This is something that had a real effect on the election, not merely an influence. But since there's a (D) by everyone's name, no one in authority is interested.
She bungled Lurch's campaign and then was an 0bama groupie. Not a Xlinton tool. She's just cashing out with her tell-all book. You shouldn't be surprised if she succumbs to an Arkancide.
Shitlery stole that nomination, fair and square. Shocked, I am just shocked.
I know about Lurch and Obomber,but are you positive she wasn't a Clinton insider? Seems like I remember reading a lot about her and the Buuba's back when the Bubbas lived in the WH. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
"EARNED"? "Scammed by influence peddling" seem to be more accurate than "Earned". In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
I looked it up and she was Gore's campaign manager in 2000, not Lurch's in 2004. John Kerry's campaign manager was the non-entity Mary Beth Cahill. "Early on, John Kerry's campaign manager was Jim Jordan. However, Jordan was replaced by Mary Beth Cahill. Kerry also hired Bob Shrum as a campaign consultant."
"Early on, John Kerry's campaign manager was Jim Jordan. However, Jordan was replaced by Mary Beth Cahill. Kerry also hired Bob Shrum as a campaign consultant." Any way you want to cut that cake,she ends up being a insider in the highest echelons of the Dim Party. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
We knew this "news" months ago. That said, you'll notice the firewall ALWAYS blocks access to the Top of the Food Chain criminality... As in the case of the Awan Brothers, for whom Blabbermouth-Schultz is taking the heat, protecting those in High Places. As long as seditious, corrupt Dems will be allowed to plead the 5th and stonewall with impunity, there is no ferreting out the real perps.
"Scammed by influence peddling" seem to be more accurate than "Earned". BLAM!
Blam? He was hired to peddle influence. He did that. He was paid. Therefore he earned it.
I guess in your context you're right... ...just like any other thief.
I don't see the thievery.
My thoughts also !!!! Si vis pacem, para bellum Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. Never Pick A Fight With An Old Man He Will Just Shoot You He Can't Afford To Get Hurt "If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went." (Will Rogers)
IOW, the DNC was onboard the Trump train in 2015. No wonder he got so much free airtime on CNN & MSNBC. Donald was the anointed one, of both wings of the D&R party!
Well, that’s good, because he’s doing a fantastic job!
Elizabeth Warren: "Yes" The Democratic Primary Was Rigged For Clinton Appearing on CNN on Thursday, Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, called Brazile’s revelations “a real problem.” Pressed by anchor Jake Tapper on whether she believed the Democratic primary had been “rigged” in Clinton's favor, Warren replied simply: “Yes.” Ironically, the banker-bashing senator and leader of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party and certain 2020 presidential contender, came out in favor of Clinton over Sanders during the 2016 primaries, a move that frustrated Sanders supporters and further boosted the front-running Clinton’s bid for the nomination. Also ironically, this is prima facie collusion and, well, rigging. Only because it doesn't involve "ze Russians", it has yet to make primetime news. Your mouth is anointed for Gay Johnson. Who you bent over and took it for 6 years.
She believed it at the time or she would have run for the Dem nomination.
