Just goes to show that CNN and ABC are still the slimepits of journalism. Theyw ill renew their relationships with this CHEAT after the elections.

I guess CNN getting caught doing what it likely has always done was too much for them to bear so they threw this nitwit under the bus TEMPORARILY........

Too late now. The damage was done long ago....

To those who were so proud of Hillary's performance at the debates, how does it feel to be on the side OF A CHEAT???

Hillary Clinton and her supporters are the scum of the Earth. But that's not really news, is it??

Shame on you, Donna Brazile.
Shame on you, Hillary Clinton.
Shame on you, clo.

Donna Brazile dropped as CNN commentator over Wikileaks revelations

Paul Farhi
Washington Post

CNN has cut ties with commentator and interim Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile after WikiLeaks revealed that Brazile leaked more primary debate questions to Hillary Clinton's campaign.

The network said it accepted Brazile's resignation as a contributor Monday after the hacked emails showed that she had tipped off Clinton's campaign to likely questions during the primaries.

In a statement, CNN spokeswoman Lauren Pratapas said, "We are completely uncomfortable with what we have learned about her interactions with the Clinton campaign while she was a CNN contributor."

WikiLeaks had previously revealed that Brazile had emailed John Podesta, Clinton's campaign chairman, in March about her access to questions that would be asked at CNN-sponsored primary debates. "From time to time I get the questions in advance," she told Podesta on March 12. She added, "I'll send a few more."

CNN acted Monday after more WikiLeaks emails showed that Brazile had, in fact, tipped Podesta to other debate questions. In an email sent to Podesta in early March, she wrote that a question would come from a Flint, Michigan, woman who is dealing with that city's water crisis. "Her family has lead poison and she will ask what, if anything, will Hillary do as president to help the ppl of Flint," Brazile wrote.

Pratapas disclaimed any involvement by CNN itself, saying the network "never gave Brazile access to any questions, prep material, attendee list, background information or meetings in advance of a town hall or debate."

Brazile, in an interview with Fox News host Megyn Kelly last week, denied that she had received a debate question about the death penalty in advance. She said she would not be "persecuted" by Kelly.

Brazile is also a contributor to ABC News, which has not commented on her status at the network.

In a tweet Monday, Brazile said: "Thank you @CNN. Honored to be a Democratic Strategist and commentator on the network. Godspeed to all my former colleagues."

CNN and ABC temporarily suspended their contracts with Brazile in July after she became interim DNC chair after the resignation of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla. Wasserman Schultz resigned after other hacked emails indicated that DNC officials had favored Clinton's campaign at the expense of her challenger, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

The networks had said they expected to resume their relationship with Brazile after the election.
