Interim Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile is coming under fire Monday after a newly released WikiLeaks email indicated she gave Hillary Clinton’s team an explicit heads-up about debate questions last spring.
In one exchange, released in Monday’s batch of emails from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s account, Brazile apparently wrote to Podesta ahead of the March 6 Democratic debate in Flint, Mich.
“One of the questions directed to HRC tomorrow is from a woman with a rash,” the subject line of the email read. It continued: “Her family has lead poison and she will ask what, if anything, will Hillary do as president to help the ppl [sic] of Flint.”

It's not like we haven't seen the question and answer cheat sheets that FJB uses in every one of his "press conferences." It's important to note, that in order for FJB to know the questions and to read prewritten answers/script, the "news organizations" either had to provide FJB with the questions.
Or maybe it is the other way around. FJB's people tell the "journalists" which question to ask when they're called on.
So, maybe this time there won't be leaking from CNN to FJB puppet masters, but, more likely, from FJB puppet masters to CNN/Tapper/Bash.
Ten days of being sequestered, testing the proper dosing of stimulant, memorizing the questions/responses and practicing microphone muting.
My money is still on FJB hosing it . . .
The trick they will pull is simply that Joe will get questions like, how do you feel facing a changer who is a felon? How do you feel facing a challenger who led the J6 coup?
They will not ask those questions of Trump. Trump will get questions like, how do you spell the name of the new president of Mexico.
Didn’t help her a bit.
Remember the CIA will be writing these questions. And Joe will get questions that Trump would like to ask. Like, Joe,How many black people were offended by Trump.
Brazle is a nutburger.
how do you spell the name of the new president of Mexico.
= = =
“The new pres of Mexico won’t last long,
I spell it ‘d-e-a-d’.”
“The sap runs every two years.”
Watch for Biden to give a rehearsed answer to the wrong question. There was an “I Love Lucy” episode where Lucy appears on a game show and she gets the wrong questions in advance, so she rehearses the wrong answers.
Biden could also deliver some rehearsed zingers, but he will flub the line.
He could also mumble the answer to himself before the question.
The moderator will have to improvise to run interference and spin Biden’s answers and Biden’s eruptions.
Giving away the debate questions in advance is trivial for them, as we have already seen.
This is probably the biggest reason to not trust any debate today. At least in the format of ‘mainstream media’ being moderators. There’s no chance of a fair ‘debate’.
I remember video of Hillary’s assistant pointing to Dana Bash, among a group of journalists, to ask the ‘next’ question - which was read from her (Dana) cellphone. Clearly the question had been provided ahead of time.
This practice appears common in Q/A forums - even panels at conferences, with guest speakers. Having done this, I was surprised to be asked to provide ‘backup questions’ that could be asked if the audience didn’t have any. I felt this was dishonest but was clearly common practice since I experienced it at multiple speaking events. The main difference here is that they want the audience to get the most out of the session, where they may not know the pressing questions - so ask the expert panel for them ahead of time.
That may be fine for that venue but when it comes to a ‘free press’ with the job of holding the government accountable this is plainly unacceptable.
I’m sure there’ll be questions related to Gaza ‘genocide’, ‘billionaire tax cuts for the rich’, etc., that will be directed to Joe - while we’ll get ‘will you denounce white supremacy’ type questions for Trump like Chrissy Wallace did.
That said, Trump always seems to prevail regardless.
In that same category: the "Honeymooners" episode where Ralph Kramden prepared for days honing his skills on pop music's song titles, composers, etc, so he could "Name That Tune" in as few notes as possible on the TV game show.
Ed Norton helped him practice for the big event by playing the hundreds of songs on the piano; but in doing so, he began each number with a fanfare made up mostly from the tune of "Way Down Upon The Swanee River". Ralph got tired of that intro and kept blowing up at Norton for throwing that bit in every time he'd play a tune.
So when Ralph goes on the TV show, he rattled off the correct tunes, one after another until it came to some notes to "Swanee River", and he had no clue what the name of it was. Hummina-hummina-hummina. Hilarious!
President Trump, BRING YOUR OWN WATER!
Will Jake ask Joe if he will denounce calling Obama the First CLEAN Mainstream African American.
Wasserman Schultz steps down as DNC chair
The next year she was embroiled in the Awan Brothers scandal, and threatened the Capitol Hill Police Chief with "consequences" if he didn't return "her" laptop. Turns out it wasn't her laptop but Imran Awan's, which she finally admitted in August 2017. She also kept Awan on her Congressional payroll, long after the family had been banned from the Capitol Building, and only dropped him after he'd been arrested for mortgage fraud.
And let's not forget she was still Chairman of the DNC when Seth Rich was murdered on July 10, 2017.
When they say it is broadcast LIVE, what they really mean is with the built in DELAY mandated by the FCC.
NOTHING is allowed to be broadcast LIVE and hasn't been for a long time.
