Donna Brazile Admits to Sending Town Hall Questions to Hillary Beforehand

Fallen Democratic strategist Donna Brazile has admitted to helping give Hillary Clinton the edge over Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primaries by forwarding her the questions that would be asked, prior to a March 2016 Town Hall event.

Brazile, who rose from a Democratic surrogate, to being named interim Chairwoman of the Democratic National Convention for a time, became the center of the alleged scandal back in October, when WikiLeaks published emails it recovered, which prove that Brazile delivered Clinton campaign Chair John Podesta questions she might anticipate at the event, on more than one occasion. The messages were at times descriptive of who she should look out for in the audience, and what their inquiry would be when called upon. One such attendee she makes note of, for example, is a woman with a rash, who Brazile informs Clinton, will be asking about the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. Another email informs the former First Lady about a man who will be inquiring about her stance on the death penalty.

Brazile would eventually be replaced as head of the DNC and was released from her day job at CNN, a network with which she served as a long-time political correspondent. And she was persistent in denying the accusations, charging that her opposition was on a political witch hunt, and invoking her religion when she asserted, “As a Christian woman, I understand persecution, but I will not sit here and be persecuted.” But on Friday, March 17, she came clean, in an essay published by Time, titled, “Russian DNC Narrative Played Out Exactly As They Hoped.”

“[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. “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."
