Donna Brazile Spills DNC Secrets

I detest Hannity and won't click on his talking head. There was a very interesting article in Politico about this though:

www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/11/02/clinton-brazile-hacks-2016-215774

Could be and was wrong.. HRC did not make the decisions alone, there were many involved. Donna Brazile has some credibility issues though too, supposedly giving HRC some of the debate questions ahead of time(NO clue if it is true, but easily could be). Seems no one was in charge, you don't hand control of anything to ONE person/group!! You don't need to look any farther then the WH!

This would be totally relevant if HRC had won.

She didn't.

This would be relevant if Donna Brazil’s hadn't already spilled this a year ago.

The GOP/Trumpsters are so focused on what HRC ALLEGEDLY did or did not do, that they are oblivious to the dipshit who “did win” (with Russia's help) and who is fucking up on a daily basis.

Concentrate on the today..not 2 years ago.

I've had the same thoughts - I thought all of these deep revelations were already known? I guess this is back in the news because of Brazile's book?

I agree the fixation on Hillary is weird. She's not president. I think it's a combination of deflection and distraction from Trump, it's easier to tear shit down than build something and have a vision, and probably a dose of misogyny. The attempt at building the uranium story is a perfect example - there were many people involved in the approval process, yet Hilary is the only one singled out? It's an obsession.

Just quoting in hopes that we can prove those "dem/liberals" didn't miss this political story that is ONLY relevant because someone is selling a book. I'll just sit here and worry about how my rights to birth control, abortions and healthcare are stripped away. 

Primary Error: Donna Brazile Mixed Up Two Different Clinton-DNC Agreements

"Donna Brazile reopened 2016 Democratic primary wounds yesterday by publishing a portion of her new book, Hacks: The Inside Story Of The Break Ins And Breakdowns at POLITICO. Although the usual suspects leaped on her claims that Hillary Clinton “control[ed] the party’s finances, strategy, and all the money raised” in a 2015 document, by the evening it became clear that Brazile had misrepresented the reality.

There is absolutely nothing in the Clinton campaign’s 2015 Joint Fundraising Agreement that gave her any such “control” — not even in the draft version of that document hacked by Russian intelligence and published by WikiLeaks.

Whereas Brazile claimed that Clinton wanted to “wield control of [DNC] operations” in 2015, she never assumed any such powers until June of 2016, when the primary race was over and she was the official nominee. As Brazile acknowledges, it is absolutely normal for the nominee to take control of the party apparatus at that point.

It is also normal for the nominee to sign a whole new Joint Fundraising Agreement with the DNC, which is exactly what Clinton did. Brazile has two different Agreements mixed up in her mind — and her publisher has failed on a basic fact-check. Either someone is too lazy to read the actual DNC documents for themselves, or they are lying on purpose....

Here are the facts: of the $529 million Clinton raised under the Agreement, more than $107 million eventually went to the DNC while state parties received about $264 million. She only kept $158 million for her own campaign.

It is true that Clinton ended up holding that money in a bank account for longer than she might have liked. But she could not disburse those funds until she was the official nominee, which did not happen until more than a month after the POLITICO hit piece.

Why the delay? It was because Bernie Sanders refused to stop running even after he was mathematically eliminated in the delegate race. In fact, his supporters screamed and hollered bloody murder when the Associated Press made that call, refusing to admit defeat.

As the acting DNC chair, Donna Brazile ought to be familiar with all these facts, and if her memory fails, she could just try doing a search at OpenSecrets.org. But why bother to know what you’re talking about when a popular lie will sell more copies of your book?"

But of course, the Bernbots and the TrumpRussia crowd is jumping all over it.

This is news because now a fellow democrat has decided to throw HRC under the bus. Brazile could be telling the absolute truth, OR she made up a bunch of lies. She lied before, so could be possible. This book could be one big lie, but she gave names. Time will tell. Favoritism towards HRC was thrown about during the campaign, but not to this extent. While it's on nobody's radar here, there are plenty of dems in congress that seem to have a problem with it.
 
Is there a problem with saying "dems/libs"? It's a hell of a lot better than the names said about people that didn't vote at all or towards those that voted for DT.

She did email her the debate questions. The Russians hacked the DNC and it was leaked. I'm also wondering why this is news. Jason Chaffetz promised if reelected he would have her jailed. Then he resigned.

NBC is running an article..”Memo Reveals Details Of Hillary Clinton - DNC Deal”.

From the article....

“WASHINGTON — The Democratic National Committee struck a deal with Hillary Clinton in 2015 that gave her campaign input on some party staffing and spending decisions, but related only to preparations for the general election and other candidates would be allowed to make similar arrangements, according to a memo obtained by NBC News.

The document provides more context to the explosive claims made by former DNC Interim Chair Donna Brazile in a forthcoming book, an excerpt of which was published this week.”

In the article is the memo outlining the “deal” that just proves the primaries were rigged against Bernie.  

Note to Elizabeth Warren - your dead as a Democrat forget about running for president in 2020.

What bugs me are those who who insist that the primaries were stolen from Bernie and the Democrats had better change blab blab blab.  To them I say phooey!

Bernie lost because the majority of the Democrats who voted did not want him as the nominee.  Another big reason Bernie lost was because he made big mistakes based on the choices he made.

My thinking is when Bernie decided to run for President he thought it would only amount to pushing the Democratic Party more to the left.  But when it became clear he had supporters he started making mistakes that ultimately lost him the nomination to Hillary.  He wrote off the Southern States by not understanding the South.  He made it clear Foreign Policy was an after thought with him. When it became clear that his greatest strength was independents he blew it.  Unlike the Republicans not all of the primaries are closed.  The Democrats have closed, semi-closed and open primaries.  What he should have done was make sure he had people in the various states to make sure his potential voters knew what needed to be done so they could vote for him.  Instead he started whining by using a rallying cry of “Let the people vote”.  Like all of a sudden the various states were going to change the rules just because Bernie said they needed to.

And there is no question he pissed off some Democrats when all of a sudden he became a Democrat to use the Party for his run for President.  And if that wasn’t bad enough he demanded the party change to reflect his vision.

I’m all for change.  It’s healthy.  But I want the change to come from real Democrats not part-timers when it suits them.  There are some good young Democrats coming along.  A little more to the left than past Democrats but that’s not a bad thing.

As far as 2020 Democratic Presidential candidates Bernie and Elizabeth Warren need to step aside as their time has passed.  The same with Joe Biden. 

As far as Donna Brazil’s and her book, she and the book can go and jump into the lake.   Idiot. 

I don't understand why you are posting this now. It's old news. The Russians hacking the DNC showed everyone they weren't neutral in the primary process.

Are you concerned about what the Russians did, what they have on our current president, the numerous cabinet members who have been appointed, fired, indicted? There's many other serious issues with this administration.

Personally, I'm all for making it fair. Post everything they have on Trump.

I think he's obsessed because he lost the popular vote to her and just can not get over it. He hates for anyone to "win/beat" him. PLUS it's a good deflection from what Mueller is doing. He'll do anything to have the pundits stop talking about his corrupt administration, even for a few minutes.

As for the gop, they've had this compulsive hate against anything Clinton for 25 years. I doubt it ever ends, even when all Clintons are no longer on this earth. SaveSave

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

And I can even understand a mild case of indigestion regarding the Clinton family because, believe me, it was no picnic in the park to explain Bill Clinton's picadillo to my young children. But heaven help me if I have to explain to my grandchildren in the next 10-20 years how I allowed the Russians to take over our elections and dummy government. I'm far more concerned about Russian involvement and influence than in a stain on a blue dress as personally distasteful as it is to me.
