"Memo Reveals Details of Hillary Clinton-DNC Deal", Brazil has some explaining to do

Memo Reveals Details of Hillary Clinton-DNC Deal

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/memo-reveals-details-hillary-clinton-dnc-deal-n817411

However, the memo also made clear that the arrangement pertained to only the general election, not the primary season, and it left open the possibility that it would sign similar agreements with other candidates.


Yeah, don't know their angle on this but something about this whole issue isn't right

"Turns out the memo Donna spoke about applied only to the general election. If so then this memo is standard operating procedure for 15 years"

Donna either was confused or thought this was a good way to reinvent herself for future work.

At any rate publisher should pull the book because the premise of it is patently false.

2. Dean is right and he would know. Those agreements look like boiler-plate documents

that have language targeted to industry standards. That's it. Sanders got the same agreement but chose not to perform on it, instead he kept his money to himself. Is that a conspiracy? What if Hillary had raised money that was kept separate and unexplained or accounted for. What's "rigged" is how she was accused of things without offering any proof.

Probably won't though. Unfortunately many have invested in it psychologically, would completely undercut/undermine their worldview.

to provoke and manipulate. I liked how Stephanie Miller called "rigged" just a charged word. It really has no substance.

It's not a conspiracy that people like and prefer you because you have invested a lifetime into a political party. Wanting to take something you haven't earned sounds more like the real conspiracy.

Use the word "rigged" or "laundered" in anything at all and you get your ticket punched.
