Society Inside Hillary Clinton’s Secret Takeover of the DNC

[Zeph]

When I was asked to run the Democratic Party after the Russians hacked our emails, I stumbled onto a shocking truth about the Clinton campaign.

So I followed the money. My predecessor, Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, had not been the most active chair in fundraising at a time when President Barack Obama’s neglect had left the party in significant debt. As Hillary’s campaign gained momentum, she resolved the party’s debt and put it on a starvation diet. It had become dependent on her campaign for survival, for which she expected to wield control of its operations.

Debbie was not a good manager.

Obama left the party $24 million in debt

“Gary, how did they do this without me knowing?” I asked. “I don’t know how Debbie relates to the officers,” Gary said. He described the party as fully under the control of Hillary’s campaign, which seemed to confirm the suspicions of the Bernie camp. The campaign had the DNC on life support

“What’s the burn rate, Gary?” I asked. “How much money do we need every month to fund the party?”

The burn rate was $3.5 million to $4 million a month, he said.

I gasped. I had a pretty good sense of the DNC’s operations after having served as interim chair five years earlier. Back then the monthly expenses were half that. What had happened? The party chair usually shrinks the staff between presidential election campaigns, but Debbie had chosen not to do that. She had stuck lots of consultants on the DNC payroll, and Obama’s consultants were being financed by the DNC, too.

Yet the states kept less than half of 1 percent of the $82 million they had amassed from the extravagant fund-raisers Hillary’s campaign was holding, just as Gary had described to me when he and I talked in August.

The agreement—signed by Amy Dacey, the former CEO of the DNC, and Robby Mook with a copy to Marc Elias—specified that in exchange for raising money and investing in the DNC, Hillary would control the party’s finances, strategy, and all the money raised. Her campaign had the right of refusal of who would be the party communications director, and it would make final decisions on all the other staff. The DNC also was required to consult with the campaign about all other staffing, budgeting, data, analytics, and mailings.

I had been wondering why it was that I couldn’t write a press release without passing it by Brooklyn. Well, here was the answer.

The funding arrangement with HFA and the victory fund agreement was not illegal, but it sure 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. This was not a criminal act, but as I saw it, it compromised the party’s integrity.

I told Bernie I had found Hillary’s Joint Fundraising Agreement. I explained that the cancer was that she had exerted this control of the party long before she became its nominee. Had I known this, I never would have accepted the interim chair position, but here we were with only weeks before the election.

basically nothing? explain...

She quit because she got offered some money.

 

[Hauler]

Is it still called a takeover if there's nothing left once you are in charge?

 

[Daglord]

She quit because she got offered some money.

from who? you have a source for that?

her actions since have backed up her words.

Whose actions? Hillary's?

The only thing she has done since losing the election is have a ghost writer pen a book for her, fall down some stairs and empty out her colostomy bag a few hundred times.

Tulsi's actions (regarding her contempt for the Dem establishment & interventionism)

Oh.
I didn't read any of that shit.

"basically nothing" then?

 

[IschKabibble]

lol @ that fluff piece. She's selling a book and diverting attention away from the fact that she fed Hillary debate questions. She's complicit in the exact thing she's complaining about.

All of those things can be true, and yet that doesn't take away from the fact that she's (now) helping to expose high-level corruption in one of the two major parties that run this country.

when did this forum go full Trumptard? not how I remembered it...

Fucking lol@ Bernie Sanders.

would have beaten Trump in the general (IMO), hence the DNC shenanigans.

They've gradually run off most posters.

I'm still fighting the good fight.

Yeah. Read all about it in her new book. Bet she won't mention the debate questions. Or how Russia is just a front for them silencing Seth Rich.

 

[Robbie Hart]

I pay zero attention to all the bullshit that goes on, but do you have any revealing photos of her.....she is very doable

Like I wrote, whether it's in her book or not, doesn't take away from the fact that she's helping to expose both the DNC and Hillary's corruption to that segment of the population that didn't take the time to read the Wikileaks releases, etc. Everyone knows by now that she leaked those questions while working for CNN, and if she cops to it, fine, but that wouldn't be bigger than what she copped to in this article (and I'm assuming her book). The origin of the Russian story can also be found in the Wikileaks releases, but I don't have a link to that particular document handy, or else I'd post it.

when did this forum go full Trumptard?

Racism and nationalism masked as patriotism is rampant. Plenty of sexism to go around as well. Its intensity does seem to correlate with the rise of Trump.

You're probably right. That doesn't mean he was a good option.
