Donna Brazile was the former vice chair of the DNC. She held the position of interim chair until November 2016. She is now a political analyst.
Brazile wrote an article in a political magazine. She claimed she came across a document that gave Clinton control over DNC.
The agreement dates back to August 2015. The document states if Clinton took care of Obama’s campaign debt she would control DNC finances. This debt was from his 2012 campaign.
The agreement isn’t considered illegal but rather unethical by Brazile. She believed that this put Sanders at a disadvantage.
DNC Integrity
Brazile thought the DNC’s integrity was compromised. She wrote “if the fight had been fair, one campaign would not have control of the party before the voters had decided which one they wanted to lead. This was not a criminal act, but as I saw it, it compromised the party’s integrity.”
Brazile said she sought any information of wrongdoing that could have affected Sanders. This was because she promised Sanders to see if Party elections were rigged.
“I had tried to search out any other evidence of internal corruption that would show that the DNC was rigging the system to throw the primary to Hillary, but I could not find any in party affairs or among the staff,” she said.
But then her feelings changed. She said “I was happy to see that I had found none. Then I found this agreement.”
