In her newly released book, Brazile explained that the DNC signed a Joint Fund-Raising Agreement with the Hillary Victory Fund and Hillary for America, giving the Clinton campaign strategic and financial control over the party. The campaign was using the party’s Victory Fund, which is supposed to be for state races and the party’s eventual nominee, as a financial “clearinghouse” for the campaign during the primary.

“The states kept less than half of 1 percent of the $82 million they had amassed from the extravagant fund-raisers Hillary’s campaign was holding” Brazile wrote.

If you live in one of the 32 states that signed the Victory Fund agreement, and donated to your state Democratic Party thinking it would benefit local politicians, your money was actually being used by the party’s prematurely chosen candidate.

This means it is more than just Bernie Sanders voters who were deceived by the DNC’s Charter-violating lack of impartiality.

The strategic control Clinton had over the party is perhaps even more frightening. Her campaign had veto power over who would serve as the party’s communications director, and final decision on every other staffer. Is it any surprise that e-mails leaked to Wikileaks reveal former Communications Director Luis Miranda and other top DNC officials were criticizing Sanders during the primaries?

Another Brazile quote reveals how pervasive the Clinton campaign’s control over DNC messaging was.

“I had been wondering why it was that I couldn’t write a press release without passing it by Brooklyn. Well, here was the answer,” she wrote.

It sounds like the strategic control the Clinton Campaign held over the DNC during the primary made them into what was basically an arm of the campaign. Rather than holding 26 debates during the 2008 Primary, in 2016 they sanctioned just 6. Why such a drastic decrease? Could it have anything to do with the strategic control one of the candidates had over the party?

Brazile herself demonstrated the depth of that control. While working as a CNN Correspondent and Vice-Chair of the DNC, Wikileaks e-mails showed that she gave the Clinton Campaign two debate questions during the primary, which she later lost her job at CNN for.

Video evidence of one of the questions Donna Brazile gave to the Clinton Campaign.

Ironically enough, Brazile was elevated to Interim Chair of the DNC despite this, even after predecessor Debbie Wasserman-Schultz stepped down because of e-mails revealing her own pro-Clinton bias.
