Donna Brazile Mystery Cleared up - Thanks, Wikileaks!

Assange promised her some more attention last week. I know some have been critical of him, but he does eventually seem to deliver.

From The Daily Caller:


Donna Brazile Shared Additional Debate Questions With Clinton Campaign, Identified Her Tipster

Donna Brazile, the interim chair of the Democratic National Committee, began providing town hall and debate questions to the Clinton campaign earlier than previously known, emails released by WikiLeaks on Monday show.

The email threads also show that Brazile, a former CNN contributor, revealed to the Clinton campaign the name of the person who provided her with a question that was asked of Clinton at a March 13 town hall co-hosted by CNN and TV One. Brazile also shared a question from a debate hosted by CNN a week earlier.

Here are the emails/theads:

Hi. Yes, it is one she gets asked about. Not everyone likes her answer but can share it.

Betsaida - can you send her answer on death penalty?

Here's one that worries me about HRC.

DEATH PENALTY

19 states and the District of Columbia have banned the death penalty. 31 states, including Ohio, still have the death penalty. According to the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, since 1973, 156 people have been on death row and later set free. Since 1976, 1,414 people have been executed in the U.S. That’s 11% of Americans who were sentenced to die, but later exonerated and freed. Should Ohio and the 30 other states join the current list and abolish the death penalty?

One of the questions directed to HRC tomorrow is from a woman with a rash

Her family has lead poison and she will ask what, if anything, will Hillary do as president to help the ppl of Flint.

Folks, I did a service project today. It's so tragic. And what's worse, some homes have not been tested and it's important to encourage seniors to also get tested.

The rash woman is Lee Ann Walters - I could not find this question on YouTube, but she makes other appearances there, so it looks like she has been quite the activist on this topic.

With all of the above, perhaps the following story will not be a surprise:

CNN Severs Ties With Donna Brazile After Learning Debate Questions Were Provided to Clinton

CNN has parted ways with Donna Brazile, the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee and a longtime contributor, after leaked emails revealed she shared debate questions with Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

In a statement issued Monday, the network said it was “completely uncomfortable” with her actions.

White House defends Brazile:

...and I have got to point out those BOOTS in the front row there - quite a get-up.

Didn't they know the DNC was corrupt? I hope they're not planning on getting their money back.

to HRC for the Telesur/Univision debate with Sanders. It was so obvious that she knew about the tape they used against Sanders regarding Cuba and that it would be truncated that I almost choked (the segment they showed was taken completely out of context). I had seen the original tape before the debate and could not believe how dishonest that question was. Sanders tried to answer the question based on what was really on the tape, but the moderator would not allow it.

Such blatant cheating against Bernie shouldn't be tolerated.

Oh yeah, that's what they do.

The question in Brazile's email:

what, if anything, will Hillary do as president to help the ppl of Flint.

The rash woman is Lee Ann Walters - I could not find this question on YouTube, but she makes other appearances there, so it looks like she has been quite the activist on this topic.

In the part I found, she (Walters) didn't really ask what, if anything, will Hillary do as president to help the people of Flint. It was a more specific question.

Will you promise to require all public water systems to remove every lead service pipe throughout the U.S.

The question went to Bernie first, then Hillary

(Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to embed the video where it would start at the correct time.)

Now here's something strange. Watch this clip which starts at 8:45

https://youtu.be/G3EJ7HXVHHQ?t=8m45s

It's from Mikki Wade and her question was As President, what will you do to help the people of Flint regain their trust in government?

Clinton answers, and then at 10:42 Anderson Cooper has a follow-up question for Clinton and it was What specifically would you do to help the people of Flint right now? You can see the actual question on the screen at the 11:14 mark. That sounds more like the question that was mentioned in Donna Brazile's email. what, if anything, will Hillary do as president to help the ppl of Flint.

It's almost like Mikki Wade asked the question but didn't get it quite right, so Anderson Cooper stepped in with the follow up question that was almost verbatim to the question in Donna Brazile's email.

Then again, maybe I'm just reading too much into this.

Hacked email suggests Donna Brazile leaked question to Clinton campaign ahead of CNN primary debate

DNC interim chair Donna Brazile appeared to have leaked a question to Hillary Clinton's campaign in advance of a CNN Democratic primary debate in March, hacked emails published by WikiLeaks on Monday revealed.

“One of the questions directed to HRC tomorrow is from a woman with a rash,” Brazile emailed John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign chairman, and Jennifer Palmieri, Clinton’s communications director.

Brazile added: “Her family has lead poison and she will ask what, if anything, will Hillary do as president to help the ppl of Flint.”

That exact question was not asked the next night at the debate in Flint, Michigan. But Mikki Wade, a public housing program manager who subsequently said in an interview that her son had developed a rash from the contaminated water, questioned Clinton about the situation with the water in Flint.

“If elected president, what course will you take to regain my trust in government?” Wade asked.

Looks as if Bill/CGI was taking credit for LOANS made out of union pension funds trying to help the Flynt mayor begin swapping out the lead pipes, but not really clear why/how the Clintons are taking credit for it (not their money being used) https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/21301
