Yep, thanks Donna Brazil. I hope the book brings you the fortune you seek from the ruins you've wrought.

don't comments like this reveal that Democrats are just as prone to mob mentality and cult of personality as the other side? you're sliming the messenger instead of engaging with what happened at all

OK, I want some action... I know, I will drop a book a year after the election and at least 18 months after the incident, that will do it PLUS I'll get paid with some TV face time. Purity in her actions, clearly.

so not only are you directly helping the rich with these reforms, you're also hurting poor school kids.

who cares? it happened; they had undue influence over hirings at the DNC as though she were actually the head of the party (she wasn't, she was running in the primary, same as Sanders, O'Malley,etc). it was an open season, not an incumbency election.

that doesn't mean we go green party, but you put in place reforms so it doesn't happen that way again.

Wouldn't have happened if the DNC wasn't such a terribly run organization for the last 15 years. It's why Obama created OFA and neglected the DNC.

I still don't think that any amount of assistance could have stopped Hillary from winning. They wanted her to win in 08 and Obama took it by taking caucuses, which was Bernie's strategy too. He just couldn't pull it off.

Obviously some changes need to be made but 'rigged' isn't right.

Hillary ultimately lost and is out of politics. DWS isn’t the chair of the DNC anymore. Unless I’m mistaken, screwing around with the DNC from the inside isn’t a criminal offense. What punishment is appropriate here?

It’s not that I don’t care, it’s just that it doesn’t matter much anymore.

Not saying there wasn't some favoritism but even Donna Brazile herself agreed with this minor tweetstorm. I'd also like to see the actual joint fundraising agreements both signed or didn't sign.

Wow, sensitive much? I've put down a real send up of her. My indigent is as simple as 'why now?' The answer is that she has books to sell and TV gigs to book, not altruism. Her stunning lack of leadership is on display, and very telling of how things got to where they are. So, there, now I am on to defaming her, but hardly before.

Oh, and only an idiot would not think that this outting would be any more then a match for POTUS's jet fuel. So there is that too. Timing is everything.

So he owes two more with time served?

I am not terribly fond that his lawyers want the dishonorable discharge vanquished. That was effectively the deal he wanted, right? He wanted to be tossed with a dishonorable discharge, and some nominal concession (currently $10K fine), in exchange for it to end, but now that is not good enough. /insert roaring lion emoji/

When I heard that the triennial report was released yesterday I nearly wrecked the car laughing at the idea of the findings combine with idea that it come out under the Trump administration. Deep state baby.
