Sorry, Clinton Defenders, That HFA/DNC Agreement Cited by Donna Brazile Applied to Primaries Too

Bad Penny

PJ Media  "The liberal establishment media has been working overtime to discredit former Democratic National Committee interim chair Donna Brazile as bombshells from her new tell-all book,  Hacks: The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns that Put Donald Trump in the White House, detonate on the eve of two critical gubernatorial elections in Virginia and New Jersey.
Political Cartoons by Tom Stiglich"Democrat operatives and Clinton loyalists in the media have been pushing back hard against her most damaging claim, published in an excerpt at Politico, that the DNC  “rigged” the 2016 primaries for Hillary Clinton through a joint fundraising agreement that gave Clinton control over key decisions at the DNC.
"Brazile wrote: "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."
"NBC published an article "debunking" Brazile's claims, arguing that the agreement between the DNC and "Hillary for America" applied only to "preparations for the general election” and had nothing to do with the primary season." . . .




"On his Monday evening Fox News show, Tucker Carlson reported that "top management at CNN directed its employees to undermine (Donna) Brazile’s credibility" after she revealed on Friday that Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign had "rigged" the Democratic Party nominating process in her favor.


"One would think that CNN's left-leaning, Hillary-loving hosts and guests didn't need to be told, but it appears that management wanted to be sure that the attempt to discredit Brazile was carried out with sufficient persistence and enthusiasm." . . .
