Donna Brazile was booted from CNN for rigging the national debate. Multiple people had to resign from the DNC for sending political agitators to Trump rallies to provoke violent confrontations. Journalists across all of the mainstream media outlets were coordinating stories with the DNC and gave editorial control to the John Podesta. Those are some seriously disturbing and undemocratic acts that We should all be appalled by. Do not let your partisanship distort your vision. The things that were exposed by Wikileaks are what destroys democracy.

Exactly. These are truly disturbing things that I'm still processing and am deeply troubled by. In my opinion, the worst is the deliberate undermining of the Democratic party by HRC's loyal henchpeople to help HRC win the primary unfairly. How can someone who doesn't respect the idea of a fair party primary respect the idea of the rule of law in general?

  There are so many horrifying revelations that its hard to keep track of them all. You had Debbie Wasserman Schultz rig the primary and resign in disgrace then immediately go to work on Hillary's campaign. Million dollar 'gifts' to the Clinton Foundation from foreign governments while she was the secretary of state. It just goes on and on.

    Yes, I hope someday we learn the details of which of those things were actually illegal and which were not. Schultz being immediately re-hired with no contrition or acknowledgement of wrongdoing by HRC was bizarre, I'd have thought the press would have forced some sort of statement on the subject.

The incredible thing is that this type of coordination is not at all unusual. It's how the US media and propaganda system works. It's how stories from US narrative pervade all corners of US media simultaneously. Plenty of people in Washington think what happened to the DNC was unfair. Because that's the way our system works. The only outcry was against the DNC because only the DNC was disclosed as participating in it. There just simply haven't been a collection of leaks yet to "shock" the American public into understanding how coordinated the media is with US government narrative.
