CNN letting go (firing) Donna Brazile a week before the Election

Gave credibility & authenticity to the hacked email issue. As if CNN said 'yes it is a scandal'

I learned this over the weekend -- at least it did to my aunt and her 2 children (voting age)

1. Of course it did. But they kept Lewandowski, who was definitely serving 2 masters....

I'd love to know if he was receiving two full salaries, or just was on retainer for Trump during that time.

So in my opinion, Brazile's firing was as bogus as it gets.

3. Brazile passed on primary debate questions that CNN was going to ask to the Clinton campaign.

She should have been canned at the DNC as well....

5. We should have realized that Lewandowski's "firing" by the campaign was a cover story.

That was clearly nothing but a ploy to infiltrate him into CNN.

2. Credbility? How so? We knew by then Assange via Putin was hacking Podesta and the DNC.

Donna Brazile, by the way, said of course she told Hillary what she knew. And as a long-time activist would do it again — but in person or text next time.

She gave debate questions to a campaign in advance, and that campaign didn't report that fact to the debate hosts. Had she not given the questions, or had the campaign reported her actions, there wouldn't have been a problem. All necessary asses would be properly covered.

This is one reason why we're supposed to always maintain ethics, even when we think nobody is looking.
