No Extradition For Brazile

It was made official today; CNN has severed all ties with DNC Chair Donna Brazile.  If you don't recall, the Wikileaks emails showed that while a CNN commentator, Brazile got an advance copy of some of the questions to be asked in a primary debate between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders and Brazile then fed the exact text of the questions to the Clinton campaign.  In other words, the chair of the Democrat National Committee helped rig the primary debates to favor Clinton over Sanders.  To be fair, Brazile was only the vice chair of the DNC at the time; the chair at that time was Debbie Wasserman Schultz who was later forced to resign when her actions to rig the presidential selection process to favor Clinton was uncovered.

It's interesting that CNN has finally severed ties to Brazile.  After all, when the story of Brazile feeding the questions to Clinton first broke, CNN issued a statement denying that it happened.  The next day, Wikileaks released emails from Brazile to the campaign setting forth the exact wording of the questions in advance of the debate.  CNN then shut up.  One does wonder why it took CNN so many weeks to cut ties with Brazile.

It's also worth noting that no one at the Clinton campaign reported the slimy and possibly illegal move by Brazile to send over the debate questions ahead of time.  Maybe it's time for CNN to cut ties to the Clinton campaign.
