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 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 disclosures — which...

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."

Hillary Clinton’s closest campaign aides reacted nervously after former president Bill Clinton confirmed that he planned to travel on the campaign plane to Las Vegas for her first primary debate. “Wjc confirmed,” Huma Abedin wrote in an October 11, 2015 email sent to debate prep advisers Ron Kain and Karen Dunn as well as campaign chair John Podesta. “This is not a positive development,” Clinton’s adviser Jake Sullivan responded. “No. It is not,” Abedin agreed. Uh oh. Bill is coming on the plane with us to Vegas… pic.twitter.com/gNrg8PlPxI — Charlie Spiering (@charliespiering) November 3, 2016 It appears, however, that the...

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...

During a panel discussion on Fox News’ The Kelly File this evening, host Megyn Kelly wondered what the fallout would be if acting DNC head Donna Brazile were a member of the GOP when she purportedly provided Hillary Clinton with debate questions while she was at CNN. Fox News contributor Richard Fowler said one of the bigger issues that should be discussed is how Brazile got these questions from the network. He then attempted to pivot the conversation to Donald Trump, stating that he is constantly putting his foot in his mouth, taking the attention away from these controversies. Kelly...

As soon as the nomination is wrapped up, I will be your biggest surrogate.

<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...

Inside the latest WikiLeaks release is another email from CNN’s Donna Brazile to Hillary Clinton’s team giving them advanced notice of a Debate/Town Hall question (link).

Donna Brazile, the acting chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, resigned from her role as a CNN contributor earlier this month. Her departure was announced Monday amid fresh revelations that she sent questions to Hillary Clinton's campaign in advance of a CNN debate and a CNN-TV One town hall. In a statement, CNN said it was "completely uncomfortable with what we have learned about her interactions with the Clinton campaign while she was a CNN contributor."

CNN has accepted Donna Brazile’s resignation as a contributor after new hacked emails showed she tipped off Hillary Clinton’s campaign about likely primary debate questions. “CNN never gave Brazile access to any questions, prep material, attendee list, background information or meetings in advance of a town hall or debate. We are completely uncomfortable with what we have learned about her interactions with the Clinton campaign while she was a CNN contributor,” CNN spokeswoman Lauren Pratapas said in a statement. …

CNN has formally severed ties with commentator Donna Brazile, a spokesman confirmed to Mediaite Monday. CNN and ABC News had both suspended Brazile after she was tapped to serve as acting DNC head following the resignation of Debbie Wasserman Schultz. In theory, that arrangement was only temporary, but CNN made it permanent as late as two weeks ago in the wake of hacked emails showing she provided questions in advance to the Hillary Clinton campaign.

YouGov’s post-debate poll finds Hillary Clinton winning the third presidential debate by a 10-point margin over Donald Trump, 49 percent to 39 percent. However, undecided and third-party voters gave Trump a 22-point lead. (VIDEO-AT-LINK) When asked to chose only between Clinton and Trump in the 2016 election, 61 percent of undecided and third-party candidates picked Trump after the third debate, versus 39 percent for Clinton. This could be an encouraging result for Trump, because 9 percent of respondents to YouGov preferred a third-party candidate, or professed themselves undecided. A statistically insignificant number said they did not plan to vote at...

It was déjà vu all over again when Fox News debate moderator Chris Wallace asked Trump the question that has dominated the news media ever since, drawing new attacks on Trump from political establishment stooges everywhere. Back in the spring, during the primaries, Trump was asked if he would sign a pledge to support whoever the eventual GOP nominee might be, pledging not to challenge that nominee and, in the end, to support that nominee.  Trump, along with every other GOP primary candidate, agreed to take that pledge, only to watch other GOP candidates refuse to keep that pledge...

During last night’s final presidential debate, the issue of the Second Amendment came up. Hillary Clinton tried her best to say she would protect the right to bear arms, but wants “sensible regulation”… whatever that’s supposed to mean. I want people who shouldn’t have guns not to be able to threaten you, kill you or members of your family.

A SUNY professor continues to project Donald Trump as the likely winner of this year’s election and he’s critiquing polls that predict the opposite in a new opinion piece. Helmut Norpoth has been predicting a Trump victory since early this year. His model currently projects a win for the Republican with a certainty of 87 to 99 percent. Norpoth is a professor at Stony Brook University on Long Island. That flies in the face of just about every other major election forecast out there, which mostly give an edge to Democrat Hillary Clinton, notes the Daily Mail. Norpoth wrote in...

At the end of the debate, while Hillary was droning on with snippets rehearsed, Trump gave the best description of Hillary. He said, "Such a nasty woman." Who could disagree with that? She is nasty and a woman. On substance and manner, Trump was clearly the winner. Hillary gave her usual robotic answers sprinkled with cheap shots, which is her preparation for the past week. Trump brought out that the violence at his rally in Chicago and other rallies was caused by operatives of the Clinton campaign. Hillary did not deny it. On the Middle East disaster in Syria, Iraq,...

Donald Trump is more similar to the Founders of our country than anyone who has run for the presidency in my lifetime. What?! What?! Didn't Trump just jump an entire school of sharks in the third debate, saying he didn't know if he would accept the outcome of the election. Isn't he finished? Are you out of your bloody mind, Simon? Okay, maybe, it wouldn't be the first time... but hear me out. Put briefly: If Donald Trump believes—as many of us do—that the FBI is corrupt, the Justice Department is corrupt, the other party is hiring violent paid thugs...

Wednesday, October 19, 2016: RSBN is LIVE in Las Vegas, NV where the Trump campaign will attempt to take their message straight to the American people and bypass the corrupt mainstream media by hosting their own pregame and postgame debate shows. RSBN is proud to be a part of it, with our cameras there filming the event exclusively.
