Democratic National Committee interim chairwoman and former CNN contributor Donna Brazile appears to have leaked more than one debate question to Hillary Clinton's campaign team during the primaries.
In an email dated March 5, 2016, Brazile sent a note to Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta, and the Democratic nominee's director of communications, Jennifer Palmieri, titled "One of the questions directed to HRC tomorrow is from a woman with a rash."
On March 6, during a Democratic primary debate in Flint, Mich., Clinton fielded a question from Lee-Anne Walters, one of the city's first residents to report having issues with water contamination.
"After my family, the city of Flint and the children in D.C. were poisoned by lead, will you make a personal promise to me right now that, as president, in your first 100 days in office, you will make it a requirement that all public water systems must remove all lead service lines throughout the entire United States, and notification made to the — the citizens that have said service lines," Walters asked Clinton.
The former secretary of state responded, "Well, I agree completely. I want to go further though. I want us to have an absolute commitment to getting rid of lead wherever it is because it's not only in water systems, it's also in soil, and it's in lead paint that is found mostly in older homes. That's why 500,000 children today have lead – lead in their bodies."
Brazile seemingly leaked more than one debate question to the former secretary of state's campaign team.
On March 12, Brazile reached out a second time to Palmieri to give advance notice of a certain question that would be asked the next day at a town hall hosted by CNN.
"From time to time I get the questions in advance," Brazile, then a CNN as a political analyst, wrote. "Here's one that worries me about [Hillary Rodham Clinton]."
Brazile included in her email the following question:
DEATH PENALTY
19 states and the District of Columbia have banned the death penalty. 31 states, including Ohio, still have the death penalty. According to the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, since 1973, 156 people have been on death row and later set free. Since 1976, 1,414 people have been executed in the U.S. That's 11% of Americans who were sentenced to die, but later exonerated and freed. Should Ohio and the 30 other states join the current list and abolish the death penalty?
Palmieri responded, "Yes, it is one she gets asked about. Not everyone likes her answer but can share it."
Is this news going to “leak out” question by question, or are they going to just come out and say, “yes, we gave her ALL the questions?”
Well, Comey, now’s your chance to snare Donna Brazile into this big dragnet of mulligan stew. She has committed crimes!
The Russians faked it to persecute a Christian woman.
That’s her story and she’s sticking to it.
Brazile should be pressed for the source.....who is giving her advance questions?
CNN didn’t really have a problem with this. They just didn’t want to get CAUGHT! Now that they have been, they need to appear to be indignant.
I think Donna Brazile’s response will be:
“TheDemocraticPartyhasbeenthevictimofacybercrimeIwillanswerthequestionareyoupersecutingwomenRussiansdiditTheDemocraticPartyhasbeenthevictimofacybercrimeRussiansRussiansRussiansIamproudtoworkwtihCNN”.
That pretty much sums up the video we saw when she was asked previously.
Partisan cow.
Way to make CNN and the DNC look the same. Not that it took much effort.
Donna payback is a bitch
Oh, I completely agree. Brazile was thrown under the bus as an exigency. I'm sure they had the conversation with her that went something like, "Look, we've got to do this now--you can have your own show (or whatever they bribe her with) later, once the dust clears a little."
What would be the chances of CNN getting caught slipping a question in advance to Trump?
Never going to happen. This is why they can’t see themselves.
No mea culpas from Brazeer? It’s the Russians? It’s a hack. It’s persecution. It’s ‘I’m African American’. It’s God’s job to make it all go away! Still waiting to hear from the sneak Hillary cheating and crib sheeting answers. DNC? They love a crooked game.
Not more than 4 days ago, CNN Host Hala Gorani defended CNN from Katie Hopkins who attacked them as the “Clinton News Network.” Wonder what poor Hala has to say now?
Referring only to the death penalty for those after birth.
For those before birth, the 'Rats continue to have the death penalty in every state(without trial, without a jury of their peers, without years and years of appeals and re-trials, without clemency or pardons, and no time for the accused to "go to law school" so that they can personally file their own appeals).
I looked at the debate in question and Anderson Cooper starts off by saying the questions come from the audience and he and CNN have “reviewed their questions just so they don’t overlap”. He left out “... and so we could share them in advance with one of the candidates.”
apparently there’s a Shill-for-Hillary bridge too far for even CNN ...
The Brazilian government has requested that she change her last name.
Typical of the Clinton Crime Family always fudging whatever they are involved in....we’re never quite sure what the truth is lying is so prevalent; Whomever calls him/her self an American could never, ever knowingly elect such a thoroughly mendacious person as Hillary Clinton.
Hillary’s Popoff moment: “Now, I sense that there is a woman in the audience tonight who has some kind of affliction. It is a RASH. Would you come forward?”
LOL
