Clinton Campaign Manager Robbie Mook Denies DNC Rigged 2016 Primary: "Politics Is Politics"
RCP video ^ | 11-4-2017 | Ian Schwartz

Posted on 11/04/2017 10:01:24 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

Former 2016 Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said the campaign and the Democratic National Party did not work together to rig the primary in an interview Friday night with CNN's Anderson Cooper. He said the idea that the DNC could rig a contest "frankly is laughable." Mook also noted that contests that were run by the national party such as the Iowa caucus, Bernie Sanders "won overwhelmingly."

However, responding to Sanders campaign adviser Jeff Weaver's complaint that it was "pretty clear" the DNC was on the Clinton side, Mook said "politics is politics."

On interim DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile's claim that after review the DNC did in fact rig the primary in favor of Clinton he said, "this is water under the bridge."

No denying how Hillary 'bought' the DNC.

Just that "tough luck" to Bernie camp, then "move on" to Donna Brazile/Sen. Warren's 'primary was rigged' claim.

Wait a minute. Robbie Mook is calling Donna Brazile a liar. So does that make Mook a racist, a woman-hater, or both?

By the very person who is now posing as a “whistle-blower”

It should be the entire story right there. But no mention of it. Not even on Fox.

Pretty sure there was PLENTY of Money Laundering going on since one can give UNLIMITED amounts of money to the DNC, then Hilliary got the vast amount...hhmmmmm.

I think one of the most interesting aspects of this is not that Hillary bought a lot of control by paying off DNC debts, but that she circumvented rules on maximum contributions by draining donations intended for the state parties into her general funds.

It circumvents FEC rules on contributions, and smacks of both money laundering as well as a fraud on the Democratic Party.

This should be receiving more attention.

But it was a piece of cake for the “Russians”, right, Mookie?

Don’t you love it? The followers either believe Crooked Hillary and her Crew or Donna B. is a big liar! The Dems fell into a “race” trap of their own making. The irony!

“Hey, Robbie, we think you broke the law. What do you have to say for yourself?”

“Ummmmmmmm ... ummmmmmmm ... ahhhhhhh ... I didn’t ... I didn’t do that.”

Take another look at the 400 delegates she had hooked even before the race began.

And it gets even better. The Bernie Bro’s were simmering. Now they’ve erupted in anger again. And their anger is directed at both Hillary and Brazile.

Remember that the DNC made the rules of their nomination process to favor the preferred candidate of the DNC. Reaction to McGovern and Carter winning the Democrat nomination as outsiders. Super delegates and caucuses that can be strong armed are part of the game. No where do I see any requirement in law or the Constitution that political parties conduct their nominating process in a pure majority fashion. HRC is crooked, but the rules of her party allow for it.

You are so right. What people aren’t getting is that you can give the DNC as much money as you want. But you can only give a certain amount to a candidate. But if the DNC is supporting one candidate in a primary or acting under the control of one candidate, that is totally and blatantly illegal. This crime has been brought against republicans several times. Remember the Wisconsin special prosecutors against Governor Scott Walker. No doubt, this is a crime.
