Fox News Story

Scumbag. Just shows she (and they) have no integrity. "My job was to make all our Democratic candidates look good, and I worked closely with both campaigns to make that happen." Yeah, forget about morals and ethics.

"Former interim Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile admitted Friday that she forwarded Democratic primary debate questions to members of Hillary Clinton's campaign – something she had previously denied.

In an essay for Time published Friday, called “Russian DNC Narrative Played Out Exactly As They Hoped,” the Democratic strategist said she had in fact passed on topics, despite saying she had not when her communications with the campaign were leaked by WikiLeaks in October.

“[I]n October, a subsequent release of emails revealed that among the many things I did in my role as a Democratic operative and D.N.C. Vice Chair prior to assuming the interim D.N.C. Chair position was to share potential town hall topics with the Clinton campaign,” she wrote.

In October, emails from Clinton campaign Chair John Podesta's account were released by WikiLeaks showing that Brazile – then a CNN contributor – had forwarded questions ahead of a March primary debate.

In one email, Brazile told Clinton Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri, “One of the questions directed to HRC tomorrow is from a woman with a rash,” the night before a March 6 CNN primary debate in Flint, Michigan.

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

The following night, a question along those lines was posed to both Clinton and her primary rival Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt.

In another email, dated Mar. 12, she passed on to Palmieri a question on the death penalty set to be asked in a Mar. 13 town hall and said: “From time to time I get the questions in advance.” After Palmieri responded, Brazile wrote back: “I’ll send a few more.”

However, in an interview with Fox News on Oct. 19, Brazile denied helping Clinton during the primaries. She said she was being persecuted and questioned the credibility of the hacked files.

“As a Christian woman, I understand persecution, but I will not sit here and be persecuted,” Brazile said. “Your information is totally false.”

CNN would go on to sever ties with Brazile after the emails were leaked.

In the essay, Brazile said she will “forever regret” the decision to leak the questions to the Clinton campaign.

“My job was to make all our Democratic candidates look good, and I worked closely with both campaigns to make that happen. But sending those emails was a mistake I will forever regret,” she wrote.

Agree.
I know the job is somewhat like herding cats, but he's not been good for the party or the country as Speaker. It's a shame... because I had high hopes for him.

Make no mistake, she was completely good with leaking the questions in advance. Completely good with lying to cover it up. It is the fact that she sent the emails that got her caught is her forever regret........

Like most, if not all, liars and cheats. They are only sorry that they got caught.

simple, elegant, inexpensive, recyclable and gets the job done

Brazile is just a typical lying democrat like the rest of her ilk...I remember her calling the people of Tennessee "stupid" because the state didn't carry another lying democrat..."garden gate Gore".

Perhaps we should actually be thanking her for helping ol' Hillary get the nomination...

....I share your disappointment. He couldda been somebody. We were wrong.

My first thought was... inside job.

Agent paid off.

Adjust tin foil hat...

Preach it.

He has a smarmy, cringeworthiness about him, like a crooked televangelist meets a politician that thinks he's smarter than everyone else meets an Amway sales rep crossed with a Cutco sales guy hawking Slap Chops in a fancy suit, all paid for by us, even.

So many nopes. I begrudgingly respect that he's managed to say this long after his behavior in last couple of years in particular. The enemy within. Frenemies, their called.

Yep. Agent could very easily have been paid, extorted, or recruited.

Encrypted drive is no good without password, which agent could obviously provide.

It's not as if the Left hasn't been begging someone to assassinate Trump.

Trump Care will keep all the new cost drivers on the insurance companies like no denial for pre-existing conditions, but remove the supports like taxes, subsidies, and the mandate. I'm no fan of the insurance companies, but this will accelerate the the death spiral to warp speed.

Wouldn't have mattered one bit if this nitwit was in the picture or not, Hilz was the anointed nominee for the DEM party, and nothing would have changed that outcome. That's just how corrupt and crooked the Dem party is.

And this buffoon is nothing more than what I expect of a Dem supporter. Stupidity and dishonesty are the only attributes this woman has.

The absolute state of denial of these cockroaches is simply mind boggling. We are truly battling a toxic, festering blob of elitist simpletons who genuinely are an enemy of the truth.

The article is much longer, but I was loathed to even post this much from that cesspool of a site.

George W. Bush Gave Us Donald Trump. Now He Wants To Be Forgiven.
But Americans shouldn’t forget so easily.
By Ryan Grim , Alexander Zaitchik

We’ve all seen the picture. It’s the opening of the National Museum of African-American History and Culture, and George W. Bush is sharing a brief snuggle with Michelle Obama. The first lady, maternal and forgiving, has both arms around the former president, who looks like he wants a tummy rub.

When the hug went viral last September, it triggered a once-unimaginable bipartisan “Awww!” that echoed throughout social and established media. Dubbed “The Embrace Seen Around the World” by The New York Times, the photo seemed to hold the power of magic, or at least the power of the most adorable cat video: It cast a spell accelerating a general public softening toward a man once widely scorned as a historic failure, dismissed by many on the left as a blood-spattered buffoon who belonged in a cell at The Hague.

Humans are nostalgic by nature, and history is full of once-reviled public figures who enjoyed later reassessments. But where reputational rehab used to take a generation or two, Bush is trying to loosen the clutches of market-fresh infamy.

If he succeeds, he will have his own presidency to thank. The immediate context for the “normalizing” of George W. Bush is the rise of Donald Trump. But Bush’s policies created the conditions that brought Trump to power, and only in the wake of his own trademarked disasters does he look tame by comparison.

And the asshole did nothing but carry water for obummer and co.

I truly hope he gets his ass handed to him as speaker. I.e. thrown the hell out of the job, and someone with at least a few moral guidelines replaces it/him.

My only response to this is that the agent who "lost" it should be summarily fired, if not prosecuted.

Reminds me of those incidents where federal agents had their guns stolen. Left them in an unguarded car.

I am thankfully not a USSS SA.

At my tiny li'l corner of the .gov, I'd actually be better off losing my gun than my laptop. Think 3-5 day suspension (probably after appeal to MSPB; management would seek something much uglier) versus removal.

Summary executions all 'round in my patch. Then look for the guilty.
