They supported <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Hillary Clinton\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hillary_Clinton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia noopener\">Hillary Clinton<\/a> for President and pretty much ignored any unfavorable stories about her. I think the most damaging thing in <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Donna Brazile\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Donna_Brazile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia noopener\">Donna Brazile<\/a>&#8216;s book is her comment about Seth Rich. Seth Rich was killed in Washington, D.C., in what was described as a foiled robbery&#8211;nothing was taken from him. There are people who believe that Seth Rich was the person leaking information to <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"WikiLeaks\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/wikileaks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"twitter noopener\">Wikileaks<\/a>. <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Julian Assange\" href=\"http:\/\/www.crunchbase.com\/person\/julian-assange\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"crunchbase noopener\">Julian Assange<\/a> has stated numerous times that the leaked emails he received were not from Russia&#8211;they were from inside the campaign. Considering the number of Clinton associates or people who have told the truth about the Clintons who have died suddenly in mysterious circumstances, I can understand why Donna Brazile feared for her safety.<\/p>\n<p>The article reminds us:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>The former DNC interim chair <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/magazine\/story\/2017\/11\/02\/clinton-brazile-hacks-2016-215774\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">revealed in Politico<\/a> last week that the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, 2016\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hillary_Clinton_presidential_campaign%2C_2016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia noopener\">Clinton campaign<\/a> had a fundraising agreement with the DNC long before it was clear she would be the nominee, a move that many saw as tipping the scales against <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Bernie Sanders\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bernie_Sanders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia noopener\">Sen. Bernie Sanders<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The federal government pretty much allows parties to run their campaigns with minimum federal intervention, but this may cross a line. I do know that the funneling of money through various entities to the Clinton campaign probably violated campaign finance laws. We will have to see how much of what was done was illegal and if charges will be brought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday The Daily Caller posted an article which sums up how the mainstream media works.
