Donna Brazile got it wrong period end of story...It is a pernicious conspiracy theory that the 16 primary was stolen. It was not.
"Donna Brazile reopened 2016 Democratic primary wounds yesterday by publishing a portion of her new book, Hacks: The Inside Story Of The Break Ins And Breakdowns at POLITICO. Although the usual suspects leaped on her claims that Hillary Clinton control[ed] the partys finances, strategy, and all the money raised in a 2015 document, by the evening it became clear that Brazile had misrepresented the reality.
There is absolutely nothing in the Clinton campaigns 2015 Joint Fundraising Agreement that gave her any such control not even in the draft version of that document hacked by Russian intelligence and published by WikiLeaks.
Whereas Brazile claimed that Clinton wanted to wield control of [DNC] operations in 2015, she never assumed any such powers until June of 2016, when the primary race was over and she was the official nominee. As Brazile acknowledges, it is absolutely normal for the nominee to take control of the party apparatus at that point."

(61,408 posts)She published in her book that it "broke her heart" when she discovered.... something that she never could have discovered because it wasn't there.
Brazile and her publisher made up an entire narrative that is completely false. Then Brazile hit the talk circuit to promote the falsehood.
This was deliberate.

(6,039 posts)she , and the publisher, never fact checked before publishing?
Nobody checked with Sanders, Amy, Robbie, or Hillary?
Something is not right with this picture.

She called Bernie Sanders to tell him about all this, but first I lit a candle in my living room and put on some gospel music. I wanted to center myself for what I knew would be an emotional phone call. (In fact, it turned out not to be an emotional call. Apparently Bernie didnt care much.)

That, of course, is how the GOP sold the fake email scandal.

I was quite empathetic yesterday and giving her the benefit of the doubt. Not anymore.

(7,178 posts)The whole of last year was dramatic. I am not trying to defend her here all the way, I just see her somewhat differently than you.
But still she caused damage to us with this self-enforced error.
