Expect a resignation later today, I would guess. (On second thought, they may delay it until after the election as a ploy to try to deny oxygen to the story.)
Presumably even our biased and incompetent news media will manage to ask Hillary whether she received this question. She will lie, of course — and the lie will easily be seen by virtually all onlookers for what it is.

Even if the likes of CNN are disturbed by the revelations, it will have to be seen to be believed.
Colonel Haiku (8583e2) — 10/31/2016 @ 12:35 pmSo this was the gift to Brazile, wonder what’s in store for Kaine?
Colonel Haiku (8583e2) — 10/31/2016 @ 12:36 pmShe has resigned.

CNN has jettisoned her from the payroll.

Dated Oct. 31st…
But the story says Brazile resigned from CNN on Oct 14th.
Why wasn’t it a story on Oct 15th?
papertiger (c8116c) — 10/31/2016 @ 1:29 pmNeither CNN nor the DNC cares that she did this; they’re just pissed that she was so sloppy as to leave a paper trail. Pick up the damn phone, Donna!
JVW (6e49ce) — 10/31/2016 @ 1:29 pmwho the heck knows at this point, they might hand it to not so earnest, they are so shorthanded,
narciso (d1f714) — 10/31/2016 @ 1:29 pm“CNN indicated that those worries led Brazile to offer her resignation, which CNN accepted [on10/14]. However, CNN didn’t make that decision known until Monday, more than two weeks later.”
Colonel Haiku (8583e2) — 10/31/2016 @ 1:30 pm“You are watching CNN.”
No, never watch it, just snicker at it.

DCSCA (797bc0) — 10/31/2016 @ 1:50 pmDuplicity on display.
She quietly resigned from CNN on Oct. 16, 3 days after she was outed by Wikileaks and then “persecuted” by Megyn Kelly on Fox.
Only CNN chose to never announce her resignation.
So when today’s revelations come to light, and there are suddenly calls for her resignation, the let it out “Oh yeah, we ended that relationship 2 weeks ago.”
shipwreckedcrew (8aced3) — 10/31/2016 @ 1:59 pmOct 14 I guess. Should have double checked. Read it earlier today.

If Weiner does get a sweet immunity deal it won’t be long until he’s back to his old tricks like Sammy the Bull.
As Vince Gill put it-he always wants one more last chance.
Pinandpuller (ae0749) — 10/31/2016 @ 2:28 pmYou would expect that there are non-disclosure terms in all of CNN’s contracts, and that this must violate them. Why are they not suing?
(To ask the question is to answer it)
Kevin M (25bbee) — 10/31/2016 @ 2:37 pmHeard Weiner hid his cache in a “life insurance” file… if that’s true, that is highlarious.
Well, the cache is cashed now. Expect ALL the mopery and dopery charges to be filed.
Kevin M (25bbee) — 10/31/2016 @ 2:39 pmWhen do we find out that she leaked questions from the October 9th debate and that is what got her fired?
Kevin M (25bbee) — 10/31/2016 @ 2:42 pmNo immunity for Weiner. He’s not needed for anything.
shipwreckedcrew (8aced3) — 10/31/2016 @ 2:42 pmWell come on, they couldn’t do a quick took nor a lawsuit for nondisclosure- Brazil’s is the embodiment of the prototypical CNN viewer – black, older, southern. That’s also a big chunk of Lou Dobbs fandom as well.
urbanleftbehind (064706) — 10/31/2016 @ 2:42 pmBy the way, this election seems like WikiLeaks Christmas. First the FBI staffers leaking stuff, now CNN people undermining the suits. Where are the IRS folks in all this? Surely they have something to add.
Kevin M (25bbee) — 10/31/2016 @ 2:44 pmGreat point raised by Trump today — someone in his camp is thinking this through.
Brazile only one half of the “leak” exchange — the question ends up with Clinton prior to the debate.
Clinton could have disclosed prior to the debate that a debate question had made it to her camp during her debate prep, identified the nature of the question, and ask that it not be used by the moderators.
Nooooooooo … can’t let an opportunity pass no matter how unethical the opportunity might be.
shipwreckedcrew (8aced3) — 10/31/2016 @ 2:46 pmKevin #35 – you should not be surprised the IRS was not invited to the investigation of the Clinton Foundation by the FBI. I don’t think I need to elaborate if you’ve been following the news.

I remember when she was previously questioned about it, she said “I am a Christian woman and you are persecuting me” or something to that effect. No, Donna, you are not now, nor have you ever been a Christian. Absolutely zero of your articulated values comports with Christianity and a great many of them stand foursquare against Christianity. And asking you if you did what you did but denied doing is not persecution.
John Hitchcock (6ca243) — 10/31/2016 @ 3:02 pmDestroying someone’s business because they will not participate in an abomination and fake marriage due to their Christian faith, now that’s persecution. What you suffered was confrontation for your unrepentant sin.
John Hitchcock (6ca243) — 10/31/2016 @ 3:04 pmDonna Brazile is there for the black vote, and because she’s a good DNC house servant who knows how to fix up a mint julep just right on a hot day.
Can I say that?

happyfeet (418260) — 10/31/2016 @ 3:45 pm@42, I never doubted that. Given my hyper sophisticated sources.
Steve57 (0b1dac) — 10/31/2016 @ 3:52 pmNaturally, Slate (no, not gonna link to them) has a piece up arguing that this should spur all of the networks to get rid of their “political hacks” who masquerade as “analysts.” Nice try, Slate, but we know that would only the leave the allegedly non-biased reporters, and conservative perspectives would never see the light of day.
Does CNN have an ombudsman? Here are what I think would be relevant questions:
JVW (6e49ce) — 10/31/2016 @ 3:55 pm– Did Donna Brazile participate in vetting the questions that were to be asked?
– If so, is this standard operating procedure for a party debate, that a party operative help pick the questions?
– How many of the questions did she know in advance?
– If Ms. Brazile was not part of vetting the questions, is CNN in the least bit interested in finding out who at the network shared them with her and for what purpose?
It was called the Clinton News Network for good reason back when Bill was in office getting serviced for the country.
John Hitchcock (6ca243) — 10/31/2016 @ 3:58 pmnow how does it feel?
Colonel Haiku (8583e2) — 10/31/2016 @ 4:00 pmyou lyin’ Donna Brazile

This day in history.
And really ticking me off.
Steve57 (0b1dac) — 10/31/2016 @ 4:00 pmThere are two things that got Donna Brazile in trouble here. The first is that she broke confideneces at CNN. (She didn’t tell anybody else at CNN she was communicating with one of the candidates)
The second is that she didn’t share the questions also with Bernie Sanders’ people.
She doesn’t appear to have had the questions in their final form, but her information probably came from an earlier point in the process of generating them.
Sammy Finkelman (b4888e) — 10/31/2016 @ 4:05 pmKevin M (25bbee) — 10/31/2016 @ 2:37 pm
Because she resigned and agreed to not fight a dismissal. She agreed not to demand severance and they probbaly reached a legal agreement.
Sammy Finkelman (b4888e) — 10/31/2016 @ 4:07 pmWait a minute, this is the statement from CNN via the New York Times:
Oh, so Ms. Brazile just randomly guessed correctly, two separate times, as to what people would ask of the candidates? Or is she saying that a non-CNN employee somehow got hold of the questions, perhaps a mind-reader hired by nefarious parties with the intent of making Democrats look bad?
And then, honestly, read the NYT article and just marvel at the nerve of Ms. Brazile to cast herself as a victim who has had her personal life invaded by unscrupulous parties and is suffering through the indignity of this horrible exposure. ( Puke.)

@ Steve57: I’m about a quarter of the way through “The Fleet at Flood Tide” now, but do I recall correctly that you got an early review copy and have already read it?
Beldar (fa637a) — 10/31/2016 @ 4:17 pmhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAM_ship
Figure the odds. H3ll, winter? North Atlantic or South Atlantic in June. Oh, and by the way. Whether you could ditch or bail out near the convoy? The Condor crew had something to say about that. And the convoy wasn’t going to stop and pick you up.
Dunno. I do know this. This country is in crisis mode. And I need to look back to see how others have handled it.
Steve57 (0b1dac) — 10/31/2016 @ 4:21 pm“LA TIMES TUESDAY: FBI Investigators had planned to conduct new email review over several weeks.

Colonel Haiku (311cb7) — 10/31/2016 @ 4:28 pmYes, Beldar. It wasn’t an early review copy, but like coming to Texas I got
there as early as I could. Hornfischer does his usual excellent job. You will
not be disappointed. It’s different, as it doesn’t focus on the Navy so much as on the strategic bombing campaign. But the bombing campaign should not be ignored, so I don’t mind.
I hope, and I don’t think, I’ve spoiled anything for you.
Happy Halloween.
Steve57 (0b1dac) — 10/31/2016 @ 4:29 pmLet me correct myself. The focus is on the Navy. But you can’t discuss the Pacific war especially after Saipan and not talk about the USAAF. Hornfischer doesn’t make that mistake.
Steve57 (0b1dac) — 10/31/2016 @ 4:33 pmI’m sure I come across like a jerk. I probably deserve to. But I’ve seen pictures of my dad when he was seventeen. And his friends. They could have been me. Some of them didn’t come back; they got blown apart.
Steve57 (0b1dac) — 10/31/2016 @ 4:41 pmBeldar, when you get done with the “The Fleet at Flood Tide” I recommend “The Al Qaeda Reader.?”
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1691583.The_Al_Qaeda_Reader
Yes. This is what I do for fun. Don’t ask. But it’s not dated. If you want to get inside the jihadi mind, and who wouldn’t, it’s essential reading. It’s not pleasant, but it’s essential.
Steve57 (0b1dac) — 10/31/2016 @ 4:52 pmIt’s an old book.

Well, I’m not surprised, but I wonder which pathology was the reason. Was it because they are all Clintonista hacks and not to be trusted? Or was it because they wanted to limit the investigation?
Kevin M (25bbee) — 10/31/2016 @ 5:05 pm“I am a Christian woman and you are persecuting me” or something to that effect
Any time a profane person draws the mantle of Jesus around themselves, you know they are guilty guilty guilty.
Kevin M (25bbee) — 10/31/2016 @ 5:07 pmBecause she resigned and agreed to not fight a dismissal. She agreed not to demand severance and they probbaly reached a legal agreement.
And because they wanted to keep the reasons secret. And I wonder what else happened. The CNN Clinton-Trump debate was right before this, and Trump was talking about it being rigged by the media, and here we have maybe some questions going from the CNN staff to the DNC chair. The timing smells.

papertiger (c8116c) — 10/31/2016 @ 5:16 pm“A Retired CIA Agent Explains, For the Drunk, Brain Damaged, and Corrupt, Why Putting Classified Information on an Unsecured Server Is a Bad Idea
—Ace
Everyone seems to understand this with the singular exception of the Smartest Woman in the World and the Most Qualified Presidential Candidate in US History.
I have worked in national security my entire life. Most of that has been in the intelligence community surrounded by classified information. For twenty years, I worked undercover in the Central Intelligence Agency, recruiting sources, producing intelligence and running operations. I have a pretty concrete understanding of how classified information is handled and how government communications systems work.
Nobody uses a private email server for official business. Period. Full stop.
The entire notion is, to borrow a phrase from a Clinton campaign official, “insane.” That anyone would presume to be allowed to do so is mind-boggling. That government officials allowed Hillary Clinton to do so is nauseating.
Classified and unclassified information do not mix. They don’t travel in the same streams through the same pipes. They move in clearly well defined channels so that never the twain shall meet. Mixing them together is unheard of and a major criminal offense.
If you end up with classified information in an unclassified channel, you have done something very wrong and very serious.
Accidentally removing a single classified message from controlled spaces, without any evidence of intent or exposure to hostile forces, can get you fired and cost you your clearance. Repeated instances will land you in prison.
Every hostile intelligence agency on the planet targets senior American officials for collection. The Secretary of State tops the list. Almost anything the Secretary of State had to say about her official duties, her schedule, her mood, her plans for the weekend, would be prized information to adversaries.
It is very difficult, in fact, to think of much of anything that the Secretary of State could be saying in email that we would want hostile forces to know.”
