Quote:CNN asked Senator Elizabeth Warren if Mrs Clinton's contest against Democratic rival Bernie Sanders was rigged, and she said: "Yes."
Another Democratic official writes in a new book about the party's "unethical" agreement with the Clinton campaign.
Ms Warren, a progressive senator from Massachusetts who campaigned for Mrs Clinton, was reacting to allegations by former Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairwoman Donna Brazile.
Ms Brazile writes in a new book that the cash-starved DNC signed a joint fundraising agreement with the Clinton campaign in August 2015, four months after the former secretary of state launched her candidacy.
Ms Brazile writes that Mrs Clinton's "campaign had the DNC on life support, giving it money every month to meet its basic expenses".
The DNC was meant to be neutral in the contest between Mrs Clinton and her Democratic challenger Bernie Sanders, a Vermont senator.
But supporters of Mr Sanders have long claimed the party showed preference to Mrs Clinton.
Ms Brazile says the deal was "not a criminal act", but "compromised the party's integrity".
Don't worry, I expect this was old news
Well, since you ask

Quote:The victory fund agreement was signed in August 2015 and widely reported during the course of the campaign, amplifying the friction between Sanders and the DNC that had already been fueled by disagreements over the primary debate schedule and access to the party’s voter database.
The agreement stipulated that the DNC and the Clinton campaign could participate in joint fundraising activities to raise money for both entities, although Clinton would not have had access to those funds until and unless she was chosen by voters as the party’s nominee.
The Sanders campaign later accused Clinton’s team of exploiting the agreement to avoid contribution limits under campaign finance laws, but that was the subject of substantial coverage during the election and not a new revelation.
Quote:Brazile, for her part, hit back at Trump for misrepresenting her story.
“Today’s lesson: Being quoted by Donald Trump means being MIS-quoted by Donald Trump,” she tweeted. “Stop trolling me. #NeverSaidHillaryRiggedElection.”
Not sure who you think you're constantly railing against here w/r to Clinton.
Anybody here think Clinton is a good person?...
Nobody?...
Thought not
