Donna Brazile Has A Few Theories About Who Might’ve Killed Seth Rich<\/h1>\n

ZeroHedge.com<\/p>\n

Donna Brazile\u2019s new book is out, and\u00a0reporters at the Daily Caller,<\/a>\u00a0who apparently have already combed through the book, have published a series of stories summarizing the book\u2019s most embarrassing and shocking allegations about the Clinton campaign and DNC.<\/p>\n

Their reporting shows Brazile taking aim at other erstwhile political allies like former President Barack Obama, whom she blamed for leaving the DNC in disarray, while also revealing who she believes may have been responsible for\u00a0Seth Rich\u2019s murder.<\/a><\/p>\n

Brazile says a chill ran down her spine when Hillary Clinton refused to concede to Donald Trump on election night of 2016 after a hushed mood had fallen over crowds of supporters at the Javits Center, who had arrived in high spirits, expecting their candidate to be swiftly anointed by the American electorate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Clinton\u2019s most hard-core supporters, the voters had other plans. Furthermore, Brazile said Clinton\u2019s refusal reminder her of Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore\u2019s reaction to the election results in 2000, when Gore refused to concede and demanded a recount after results showed that George W. Bush had won.<\/p>\n

Clinton adviser Minyon Moore \u201ctold me that at 1:30 a.m. John Podesta was going to address the crowd at the Javits Center and tell them to go home,\u201d Brazile writes. \u201cA shiver came over me, a memory of the Gore defeat, where we had Bill Daley go out and address the crowd because Gore was still wrestling with the results, as I knew Hillary was tonight.”<\/p>\n

In another surprising – and ultimately revelatory – anecdote, Brazile recounted how former Democratic National Committee chair Rep.\u00a0Debbie Wasserman Schultz\u00a0<\/a>did not seem particularly concerned about the cyber breach that led to Wikileaks\u2019 publication of internal emails.<\/p>\n

DWS even waited more than a month after first learning of it in April. Then she refused to apologize to those affected by the breach.<\/p>\n

As for the murder of Seth Rich – the subject of perhaps the most controversial claims advanced by Brazile so far – Brazile has a couple of theories – though neither involve the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

I felt some responsibility for Seth Rich\u2019s death. I didn\u2019t bring him into the DNC, but I helped keep him there working on voting rights.\u00a0With all I knew now about the Russians\u2019 hacking, I could not help but wonder if they had played some part in his unsolved murder.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Besides that,\u00a0racial tensions were high that summer and I worried that he was murdered for being white on the wrong side of town.<\/strong>\u00a0[My friend] Elaine expressed her doubts about that, and I heard her.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The FBI said that they did not see any Russian fingerprints there.<\/strong><\/em><\/u><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Finally,\u00a0 Brazile wrote that\u00a0Obama\u00a0<\/a>\u201cleeched [the party] of its vitality\u201d in the lead-up to the 2016 election campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had three Democratic parties: The party of Barack Obama, the party of\u00a0Hillary Clinton,<\/a>\u00a0and this weak little vestige of a party led by [Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz] that was doing a very poor job getting people who were not president elected,\u201d Brazile.<\/p>\n

* * *<\/p>\n

As the excerpts that were published before the book\u2019s official release made clear, Brazile has a particularly strong distaste for Robby Mook, Clinton\u2019s former campaign manager.<\/u><\/p>\n

The intensity of her dislike is laid bare throughout her book. With that in mind, here are 12 choice quotes about Mook, courtesy of the\u00a0Daily Caller.<\/a><\/p>\n

1) The Cultish Nature of the Mook Crew<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cI want to talk about the arrogance and isolation of the Clinton campaign and the cult of Robby Mook, who felt fresh but turned up stale, in a campaign haunted by ghosts and lacking in enthusiasm, focus, and heart.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

2) \u2018What Does This Have To Do With The Russians?”<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cFrom offstage, I could hear Robby Mook, Hillary\u2019s campaign manager, pretaping a segment before the roundtable. Robby was talking about the Russians, and the Russians, and the Russians, and I thought, \u2018What does this have to do with the Russians?\u2018”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

3) \u2018Leaving You With The Impression That He Has Listened To You’<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cTry as I might to explain it to Brooklyn, all of my urgent pleas felt like they were words falling down a well. Take Hillary\u2019s campaign manager, Robby Mook. He had this habit of nodding when you are talking, leaving you with the impression that he has listened to you, but then never seeming to follow up on what you thought you had agreed on.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

4) \u2018Everybody Worshiped The Data And The Analytics’<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cThe young men that surrounded Robby Mook\u2013and they were all men in his inner circle\u2013had mastered a cool and removed style of politics. They knew how to size up voters not by meeting them and finding out what they cared about, what moved their hearts and stirred their souls, but by analyzing their habits. They could take all the things you bought while shopping online in the last six years, analyze them, and say they were confident that they knew pretty much all there was to know about you. \u2026 Everybody worshiped the data and the analytics.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

5) \u2018I\u2019m About To Kill Robby’<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cOne night when I went home I called Charlie Baker to warn him that I was struggling to keep Dolores contained. \u2018Charlie, I\u2019m about to kill Robby,\u2019 I told him. \u2018And it ain\u2019t going to be pretty.'”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

6) Does He Not Know Who I Am?<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cDid he not understand that I had long-standing friendships with most of his superiors in Brooklyn, with the exception of Robby Mook?”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

7) \u2018Believed He Understood The Country By The Cluster Of Information About Voters He Had Gathered’<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cRobby Mook believed he understood the country by the cluster of information about voters he had gathered.<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I remember saying to him, after he described this very smart way he had determined which candidate people in a particular neighborhood were likely to vote for, that he was neglecting the whole story.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

8) He Kind Of Unnerved Me<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cHe has a cool gaze of someone who has a determined sense of values and judges everyone by those principles. That inner cool makes someone like me who runs hot feel as though I\u2019m bouncing off the walls when I talk.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

9) \u2018Robby Was Unwavering’<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cEven when Clinton squeaked by in the Iowa caucuses and when she took a drubbing in New Hampshire, Robby was unwavering. He had a plan and he was sticking to it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

10) \u2018They Saw Me Only As Someone Who Could Rouse Up The Emotions’<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cRobby asked me to address the staff and volunteers, and I gave a speech off the cuff that was designed to remind them of the reasons we do this…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They saw me only as someone who could rouse up the emotions, but they were not interested in my practical advice. My feeling was that data was a tool for engagement, but there was no substitute for that human touch. This was a message that sunk to the carpet in the antiseptic rooms of Brooklyn.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

11) \u2018Dismissed My Report With A Condescending Tone’<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cMook\u2019s lieutenant Marlon Marshall \u2018dismissed my report with a condescending tone in his responses. He and Robby didn\u2019t appreciate challenges to their strategy.'”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

…And in the spirit of saving the best for last…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

12) \u2018I Could Hear Tears In His Voice’<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cAs the train pulled out of Philadelphia my phone rang. It was Robby Mook.<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2018Madam Chair, I\u2019m so sorry,\u2019 he said. I could hear the tears in his voice. \u2018I\u2019m so sorry.’<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2018I know, Robby,\u2019 I said. \u2018You did your best. You worked hard. We all did.”<\/strong><\/u><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now that the book has been released and read through by members of the media, we imagine all of the explosive revelations contained therein have, at this point, been widely discussed.<\/p>\n

However, even if people continue to disgaree about the purity of Brazile’s motives, one thing is certain: She has managed to deeply embarrass a Democratic Party establishment that has somehow retained its grip on power, even after the drubbings Democratic candidates have taken during the last two election cycles. Perhaps Brazile\u2019s revelations – particularly the exposure of the Clinton campaign-DNC joint fundraising agreement will go a long way toward undermining the very forces that advocated for Clinton and her particular brand of antisceptic incrementalism.<\/p>\n
