good.

the dnc should also have her step down, but then again...they'll just replace her with another version of her/dws so there's no point.

She could have found out through informal channels, I suppose, even though Martin himself denied it. Or they're lying.

Exactly. However the tip was obtained, she was dumb to pass it along, and needs to go. But still, who wouldn't predict that such questions were likely? And, presumably CNN hired her because of her connections inside the party/campaign -- just like they hired that toad Lewandowski for connections to the Trump campaign. Can we see all his private emails please?

Brazile found out the questions before even CNN knew because the Ohio town hall was co-hosted by CNN and TV One and the moderator/host from TV One knew the questions beforehand and either emailed them to Brazile or met up with her and told her. Idk how the guy got them, but he did.

Even before this was released, there was some speculation that they had been told the question before.

I wish Hillary's operation were just less...like this.

I know it is naive to say so about a high level political campaign, but even if political expediency is your only concern, it's looks bad for them.

I agree.

It really was. I remember watching the clip like, "lol, come on." Totally secondhand embarrassment levels.

But Lewandowsky is still on their payroll while getting checks from Trump. I don't know enough about Donna Brazile to comment too much on this situation, but her getting canned WHILE LEWANDOWSKY STAYS ON is fucking infuriating.
