CNN severs ties with Donna Brazile after leaks reveal she supplied Clinton with 2nd debate question
86 replies, posted
[quote]CNN says it is "completely uncomfortable" with hacked emails showing former contributor and interim DNC chair Donna Brazile sharing questions with the Clinton campaign before a debate and a town hall during the Democratic primary, and has accepted her resignation.
Hacked emails posted by WikiLeaks show Brazile, whose CNN contract was suspended when she became interim DNC chair over the summer, sharing with the Clinton campaign a question that would be posed to Hillary Clinton before the March CNN Democratic debate in Flint, and sharing with the campaign a possible question prior to a CNN town hall also in March.
In a statement, CNN spokeswoman Lauren Pratapas said that on Oct. 14, the network accepted Brazile's resignation.
"On October 14th, CNN accepted Donna Brazile’s resignation as a CNN contributor. (Her deal had previously been suspended in July when she became the interim head of the DNC.) CNN never gave Brazile access to any questions, prep material, attendee list, background information or meetings in advance of a town hall or debate. We are completely uncomfortable with what we have learned about her interactions with the Clinton campaign while she was a CNN contributor," Pratapas said.[/quote]

Might need CNN's permission to look at it though.

One post and the ridiculous strawmen are already appearing.
[QUOTE=Revenge282;51287239]But it's OK 'cause the other guy is orange...[/QUOTE]
Pretty sure everybody accepts this is not OK and scummy, but sure, set up the irrelevant strawmen.
What more do you want? Brazile is certainly going to be ruined by this and CNN have admitted fault.
Why is it even necessary to play this dirty against Trump?
Edit:
Correction the disgraceful conduct was used against Sanders, but my initial question still stands.
[QUOTE=Revenge282;51287239]But it's OK 'cause the other guy is orange...[/QUOTE]
It wasn't in a debate with Trump. But thanks for showing you didn't read the article.
It amazes me how much politician and businessmen don't understand the idea of a paper trail.

Another person in the list of victims who got thrown under the bus for Foundation.
And for a news network that is also tied closely to said Foundation. Just another day.
[QUOTE=zeroXSBK;51287261]Why is it even necessary to play this dirty against Trump?[/QUOTE]
I'll note that these debates were held in March, so it was more so playing dirty against Sanders than Trump. Still shitty.
Democratic conduction this election has been baffling. Trump is very easily beaten, so playing dirty doesn't make sense.

So wait, she's a victim now? Thrown under the bus, what? She did something wrong and she's being punished for it.
What other 'victums' are you talking about?

Well I do take back the victim term, she is a crook.
I probably should have said scapegoat/take the fall for the Foundation not to be further investigated.
Also like last week you had Scott Foval and Rob Creamer. Debbie Wasserman Shultz for the DNC leaks, and maybe even some Huma if she wants to jump in.

Its a dream come true!

See she might be a victim after all! Sounds like it.

Victim of what?
And she had the audacity to claim she was being persecuted against when pressed on the matter. Enjoy forced retirement.

I should have put a exclamation mark in there or something. Was being sarcastic.
This was the debate in question:

Clinton could shoot a person on Main Street and still win the election at this point...

Am I misunderstanding something here? Isn't this literally just someone from CNN sending emails to Clinton's campaign? How is that supposed to say anything about Clinton?
The title is seriously misleading.

The real scandal here is that someone would actively edit their email signature to say [quote][B]Sent from Donna's I Pad [sic].[/B] Follow me on twitter @donnabrazil[/quote][emphasis mine].

[QUOTE=*Freezorg*;51287728]...You say that like there's no gun nut democrats?[/QUOTE]
No I said that as a joke about democrats and gun control.
It's painfully obvious it is a light hearted joke.
