Now this is just one article, thwre is much more evidence but this has the gist.

The DNC claims to be impartial but when caught the defense was that it was a political promise and not legally binding so they do not owe anyone a fair election process.

Fact Check: Did the DNC Illegally Steal the 2016 Primary from Bernie Sanders?

Hillary Clinton laughs on November 6, 2016 in Cleveland, Ohio.
After a startling revelation from former Democratic National Committee interim chair Donna Brazile that the DNC had engineered the party’s primary election system in favor of then-candidate Hillary Clinton, President Donald Trump suggested that the primary was illegally stolen from Bernie Sanders.

On Thursday, Brazile released a excerpt from her new book on Politico’s website. The excerpt explained how the Hillary Victory Fund, Hillary for America, and the Democratic National Committee signed a Joint Fund-Raising Agreement, which gave a significant advantage to Clinton’s campaign.

“Hillary would control the party’s finances, strategy, and all the money raised,” Brazile wrote. “Her campaign had the right of refusal of who would be the party communications director, and it would make final decisions on all the other staff. The DNC also was required to consult with the campaign about all other staffing, budgeting, data, analytics, and mailings.”

After this revelation, President Donald Trump tweeted out, "Donna Brazile just stated the DNC RIGGED the system to illegally steal the Primary from Bernie Sanders. Bought and paid for by Crooked H…."




This is not the first time the DNC has been accused of illegally rigging the primary race between Sanders and Clinton.

According to a report in Newsweek , attorneys who filed a class-action lawsuit against the DNC argued that “the DNC violated Article 5, Section 4 of its own charter by working with a single campaign to effectively choose who would win the Democratic ballot.”

This portion of the DNC charter—article five, section four—states:

In the conduct and management of the affairs and procedures of the Democratic National Committee, particularly as they apply to the preparation and conduct of the Presidential nomination process, the Chairperson shall exercise impartiality and evenhandedness as between the Presidential candidates and campaigns.
“These governing documents,” the complaint argues, “expressly obligate the DNC to maintain a neutral posture with respect to candidates seeking the party’s nomination for President during the nominating process.”

According to Newsweek, in response to the lawsuit the DNC contended that “the organization's neutrality among Democratic campaigns during the primaries was merely a 'political promise,' and therefore it had no legal obligations to remain impartial throughout the process.”

And the court seems to have agreed with the DNC: The lawsuit was dismissed in late August.

In her book, Brazile agrees with the court, too. She says that, contra President Trump, the Clinton campaign’s actions were not illegal. “The funding arrangement with HFA and the victory fund agreement was not illegal, but it sure looked unethical,” Brazile notes. “This was not a criminal act, but as I saw it, it compromised the party’s integrity.”

Did Russia boost Donald Trump or did Hillary Clinton/DNC.

Ohbyes she did, she outlined strategies to boost Trump, Cruz and Carson. Why?

To push them into unpalatable extreme positions and they were assumed to be easier to beat.... How much sweeter it is to know that
Her frankenpotus beat her!!

Let that be a warning to Republicans propping up certain candidates.

Mind you I stumbled upon an old interview with Hillary/Howard stern where she says Bernie was propped up by Russia in 2016.... and we wonder where all this Russia nonsense started? Hmmm possibly with Hillary.

She has tremendous power overnthe media, even in the PP email stating that they should have the mainstream media prop up those candidates to scare people away from ideas like the wall.

Is it any wonder why Trump distrust the media? He would be an idiot ifnhe did trust them.

The media called him "crazy" and a crackpot pretty much for suggesting that Hillary was behind the rigging of the polls.

Now considering what happened and how it happened, does that sound so far fetched?

I would think GOP campaigns getting out the primary vote for Sanders is perhaps the most significant reason to not trust the DNC.

You cannot corrupt the process, then complain that the process is corrupt.

In all fairness, Trump was.proven right while most others were proven wrong.

He said the polls were way off.He said the polls were rigged against him.

That part appears to be true.Is it much of a stretch that HRC rigged them?

This is the same person/group that had the legal defense of

" we don't owe anyone a fair election"
