Clinton Campaign Scandals
By the time Hillary Clinton secured her party’s nomination during the Democratic National Convention on July 26, 2016, she and the DNC were already knee-deep in scandals. Some had already begun to come to light, while others would take more time. The past few weeks have shed much new light on political corruption, illegal practices, and unethical activities in both the Clinton campaign and the DNC, to such a degree that it is difficult to imagine either of them bouncing back unscathed.
Of course, this writer stated that Clinton secured her party’s nomination, not that she won it, because stealing isn’t winning. And as The New American reported in an online article on July 26, 2016, hours before Clinton’s certain nomination:
As a direct result of WikiLeaks publishing nearly 20,000 DNC e-mails, the Clinton campaign and the DNC itself are scrambling for damage control. In fact, the DNC chairperson, Congresswoman Deborah Wasserman Schultz, has resigned over the scandal. Some of those e-mails show DNC leadership discussing plans to directly manipulate events to favor Hillary Clinton in the bid for the nomination to be the Democrat candidate — in direct violation of the DNC charter, which requires that it remain neutral during the primary cycle. Undermining the Sanders campaign — which was seen as a viable threat to the Clinton campaign — seems to have been a priority of the leadership of a party that claims to be “democratic.”
