#DonnaBrazile Buries #HillaryClinton: #2016Primary Was Rigged and #DNC Betrayed #BernieSanders
Donna Brazile, the former chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, said on Thursday that Hillary Clinton rigged the Democratic primary so that she would prevail against Bernie Sanders.
In a piece published on Thursday in Politico Magazine, Brazile described how she had discovered an agreement made in August 2015 that Clinton would have “control (of) the party’s finances, strategy, and all the money raised” in exchange for dealing with the Democratic Party’s massive debt from the 2012 campaign for Barack Obama.
“Hillary for America (the campaign) and the Hillary Victory Fund (its joint fundraising vehicle with the DNC) had taken care of 80 percent of the remaining debt in 2016, about $10 million, and had placed the party on an allowance,” she explained.
It’s a move that usually comes after the primaries: the party’s nominee takes over the party. But instead, Clinton was running the financial arm of the Democratic party, and while Brazile admitted it was legal, it “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.”
