Hillary Clinton Robbed Bernie Sanders Of The Democratic Nomination, According to Donna Brazile
Newsweek ^ | November 2, 2017 | Greg Price

Posted on 11/02/2017 8:52:53 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Hillary Clinton’s campaign took over the Democratic National Committee's funding and day-to-day operations early in the primary season and may have used that power to undermine her rival Senator Bernie Sanders, according to the party's one-time interim chairwoman.

The DNC official, Donna Brazile, now a political analyst, wrote in Politico Magazine on Thursday that she discovered an August 2015 agreement between the national committee and Clinton’s campaign and fundraising arm that gave Clinton “control (of) the party’s finances, strategy, and all the money raised” in exchange for taking care of the massive debt leftover from President Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign.

It wasn't illegal, Brazile said, "but it sure looked unethical."

"If the fight had been fair, one campaign would not have control of the party before the voters had decided which one they wanted to lead," Brazile wrote. "This was not a criminal act, but as I saw it, it compromised the party’s integrity."

Brazile wrote that she had “promised” Sanders to find out if the DNC had intentionally “rigged” the primary system in order to prop up Clinton and assure she became the nominee.....

She robbed Bernie and she is trying rob Trump.

We know this is all spin and lies from Brazile - BUT, what is interesting, is that she is publicly attacking the Clintons. That is very significant. Is she expecting Hillary to be taken down? Is she expecting some revolt in the DNC? Is she no longer afraid of Hillary and Bill's reach?

Brazille also blamed Obama for draining the DNC bank account and defaulting on paying 2012 convention vendors, and Wasserman Schultz for bypassing DNC board member oversight requirements.

Don't know if she ever fulfilled this promise to Bernie but it clearly was. I don't intend to read her book as she doesn't deserve the royalties having give Debate Questions in advance to Hillary.

Bernie was a sparring partner. The fact that he almost beat the witch just revealed her glass jaw, or should have.

I agree. Brazile is not just accusing Hillary of making mistakes on the campaign trail. She is accusing Hillary of flat-out crooked behavior.

This sort of thing is bound to hurt the Democratic party, as it will widen the split between the Clintonistas and the Bernie Bro’s. I gotta wonder why Brazile decided to do this.

She KNOWS they are getting close to the top players in the Dem Party now, and that includes her. FEC violations galore all over the place.

They did not care about insignificant things like laws, because they were convinced they couldn’t lose. OOPS.....

The rats are fleeing the ship. I have a feeling from now to Christmas may be ecstatic.

It is becoming more and more obvious that they are abandoning Hillary big time. I think that a “vast left wing conspiracy” is about to blame her for everything bad that has been going on in the Democrat Party. She is a traitor and deserves every bit of it, but I am not so sure she is going to let it happen. I hope she drags a bunch of them down with her. It will be a game of who can claim to be the biggest victim. I would love to see her turn on Slick Willie. It could be a fun few months.

So who is going to lead the Democrats going into the midterms? Bernie Sanders? Wouldn't that be a laugh.

She is just trying to cover her butt (CYA). She fears being dragged into all the democratic party wrong doing. Too late she is already proven to be a liar and a cheat and quite dishonest. She is what she is.

Interesting, especially the timing. The sour dough is beginning to rise. Between this, Uranium One and now I see a story that the police are looking into the Clinton’s many trips to Orgy Island, in light of all the Hollywood sex scandal brewha-ha. It could be an epic downfall for the Clint’s. They can’t plausibly deny everything all at once.

Does this mean that it was Hillary who made the decision to pay Fusion GPS? Reading between the lines, I think that is what Brazille is saying.

Donna Brazile SLAMS Debbie, Obama For Running The Party Into The Ground, Giving Hillary Control

Interim Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Donna Brazile placed blame for the party’s financial woes squarely on former President Barack Obama and Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz in a Thursday column, excoriating the pair for handing over complete control of the party to the Clinton campaign almost a year before she secured the nomination.

Soon after taking over as interim chair, Brazile set out to determine whether the DNC had improperly assisted former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in securing the party’s nomination, as leaked internal emails suggested.

She quickly determined that the DNC was in serious financial peril and the former chair, Wasserman Schultz, had relinquished control of the party to the Clinton campaign in exchange for a monthly allowance that would cover the operation’s day to day costs.

I wonder if she thought giving Hillary debate questions looked unethical.

I think they’ll attempt to turn to Obama...juuuuuust when Uranium One and FISA starts to take hold. Then they’ll jump to some newbie for help. 2018 could be absolute desolation for them, which would probably mean the founding of a Democratic Socialist party.

It could be until 2040 when they get traction again.

Hillary has become a liability to the Dems with her endless whining, lying, and making stupid comments. She reveals herself to be not POTUS material. She is a basket case who cannot be trusted.

Bernie Sanders and his donors need to sue this hag and demand her prosecution under the RICO law

"The rats are fleeing the ship. I have a feeling from now to Christmas may be ecstatic."

Wow! The new DNC leadership, are like rats jumping from a sinking ship, just abandoning the Clintons and the old DNC!

"The Democratic National Committee claims its "new leadership" had nothing to do with the funding of the so-called "Trump dossier," after it was reported Tuesday that the firm behind it was hired by DNC lawyer Mark Elias and Hillary Clinton's campaign."

"Tom Perez and the new leadership of the DNC were not involved in the decision-making regarding Fusion GPS, nor were they aware that Perkins Coie was working with the organization," said DNC Communications Director Xochitl Hinojosa in statement, referring to the DNC chairman.
