Tyler DurdenNovember 15, 2016 It has been a tough few weeks for interim DNC chair Donna Brazile: after resigning from CNN earlier this year after WikiLeaks published hacked emails that showed Brazile tipping off Clinton’s campaign in advance to at least two questions that Hillary Clinton would be asked at upcoming town hall events, yesterday hundreds of Bernie Sanders DNC delegates launched a campaign demanding her resignation. As we reported, executive director of Progressive Democrats of America, Donna Smith, said that "the DNC chair must reflect the base of the Democratic Party and the mission for which this party long...

Donna Brazile fired back at her former employer, saying CNN ripped her “a new one” instead of letting her defend herself against leaked emails showing she gave Hillary Clinton a sneak peak at debate questions. “I wish CNN had given me some other things, like the ability to defend myself rather than ripping me a new one,” Brazile said at a Monday event at Hollins University, according to the Roanoke Times. “CNN never gave me a question,” Brazile said of her resignation. Brazile, who is the interim chair of the Democratic National Committee, revealed that she’s still feeling pain over...

On Thursday, Democratic Party officials held their first staff meeting since Hillary Clinton’s stunning loss to Donald Trump in the presidential race. It didn’t go well. Donna Brazile, the interim leader of the Democratic National Committee, was giving what one attendee described as “a rip-roaring speech” to about 150 employees, about the need to have hope for wins going forward, when a staffer identified only as Zach stood up with a question. “Why should we trust you as chair to lead us through this?” he asked, according to two people in the room. “You backed a flawed candidate, and your...

NEW YORK — The Democratic Party was decapitated overnight. Hillary Clinton's stunning loss to Donald Trump created a power vacuum at the top of the party and a crisis of confidence among its remaining standard bearers. Clinton was nowhere to be seen at her election night party early, held in a convention center in Manhattan whose glass ceiling was supposed to represent the metaphorical one she seemed so close to shattering just hours earlier. But the ceiling went unbroken and she conceded privately to Trump. Instead, the unenviable task of addressing Clinton's crestfallen supporters fell to John Podesta, Clinton's campaign...

Donna Brazile is not apologizing for leaking CNN debate questions and topics to the Hillary Clinton campaign during the Democratic primary. Her only regret, it seems, is that she got caught. “My conscience — as an activist, a strategist — is very clear,” the interim chair of the Democratic National Committee said Monday during a satellite radio interview with liberal activist and SiriusXM host Joe Madison. She added that “if I had to do it all over again, I would know a hell of a lot more about cybersecurity.” In other words, Brazile would have made sure that her improper...

CNN wants to move on from the recent scandal that revealed one of its paid contributors had shared questions from presidential forums in advance with Hillary Clinton's campaign. The network is declaring itself in the clear of any wrongdoing, though it is not addressing some key issues. "I can confirm we did an internal review," a high-ranking source at CNN told the Washington Examiner on Thursday. "The results are: Nobody at CNN did anything wrong."

Tuesday I wrote about the scandal of Donna Brazile passing questions to the Clinton campaign and noted that, so far, the media hadn’t seemed particularly interested in investigating the other half of this transaction, i.e. what happened to the questions after the Clinton camp received them. ---SNIP--- You’ll notice what is missing from Mook’s long answer. He never does deny, unequivocally, that Hillary saw the questions in advance. He actually offers four different answers, none of which are a denial. 1. He hasn’t “seen the emails” being put out by Wikileaks. 2. Bernie Sanders’ campaign manager was also in contact...

The Democratic National Committee, already engulfed by the WikiLeaks Donna Brazile scandal, is again on the defense Wednesday as some Democratic Senate candidates in tight races scramble to return thousands of dollars in campaign donations following allegations of a massive straw-donor scandal, which Republicans say may be wider than initial reports. Despite the fanfare, one high profile Democrat, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), says she won't return the donations until it is proven that they were given illegally. The Campaign Legal Center, which represents the public interest, confirmed to FOXBusiness.com, it has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission over...

At a time CNN should be riding high, the network is facing the biggest threat to its reputation since Jeff Zucker took over as top executive because of its liberal use of campaign surrogates like Donna Brazile and Corey Lewandowski. CNN announced on Monday that Brazile, the acting head of the Democratic National Committee, had quit as a contributor two weeks ago. Brazile, who had been suspended at CNN upon taking the DNC job this summer, was exposed in documents released by WikiLeaks as feeding Hillary Clinton’s campaign questions in advance of primary debates. The presence of Lewandowski, Donald Trump’s...

Interim DNC chairwoman and disgraced former CNN commentator Donna Brazile’s decision to hand Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign confidential questions in advance of the March primary debate may have been a violation of federal law, according to a former federal prosecutor. “Stealing valuable proprietary confidential information is illegal, and debate questions are highly confidential,” Ken Sukhia, who served as United States Attorney for North Florida and who has prosecuted numerous white collar crimes, told Breitbart News.

After all these many pre-election months of watching news programs, panel discussions, Sunday news shows on NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN and Fox News, as well as talk radio, the burning question is, as more and more is revealed about the Clintons unscrupulous ways of being by Wikileaks, Project Veritas, and the FBI, why do the people around the Clintons stay?  With each passing day, the breadth and depth of their duplicity, their venality is made provably clearer and yet the same people show up day after day, night after night defending them: Bill Burton, Julie Roginsky, Lanny Davis, Robert Zimmerman,  Dana...

Both of the Flint, Mich. women who asked questions about the city’s lead-poisoned water during a March 6 Democratic debate hosted by CNN tell The Daily Caller that they did not talk to interim Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile ahead of the event. That confirmation undermines CNN’s theory — floated to reporters on background — that Brazile, a network contributor at the time, may have learned of the debate question from one of the women at a charity event organized by the network the day before the debate. But Mikki Ward, who asked Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders the...

<p>WASHINGTON — CNN president Jeff Zucker ripped former contributor Donna Brazile’s leaks to the Clinton campaign as “disgusting” and “unethical” during a Tuesday editorial meeting, according to a report.</p> <p>In a conference call, Zucker said the perception that campaigns could receive questions in advance “hurts all of us,” an unnamed source told the Huffington Post.</p>

“She could be gone by Thursday or Friday,” the DNC source said. “Wikileaks is her undoing. Who knows what else they have on her. She’s a complete liability and is hurting Hillary at this point. She has no long term upside as chair. She’s not that charismatic to begin with.” The DNC insider said Brazile might last until after the election next week, given the FBI-provoked tailspin the Clinton campaign is trying to pull out from. Firing Brazile this week may ultimately throw gasoline on what appears to be a week-long Democratic bonfire, the source said. But the party might...

Earlier this month a Wikileaks email disclosed that Donna Brazile had leaked a debate question to the Clinton campaign: An email published Wednesday suggests that the interim chair of the Democratic National Committee had the text of a proposed question before a town hall event with Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders earlier this year. Donna Brazile, the chair, is then thought to have shared the question with the Clinton campaign. The email, which was provided to Politico, contains the exact wording of a question that one of the town-hall moderators, TV One's Roland Martin, sent to CNN producers before the town...
