WikiLeaks emails show Clinton camp tipped off on CNN poll – and even more moderator questions

Donald Trump on Tuesday castigated Hillary Clinton in the wake of additional WikiLeaks revelations showing the Democratic presidential nominee's campaign got even more questions in advance of CNN primary town halls -- and was tipped off to the network’s polling.

Emails hacked from the Gmail account of Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta and posted to WikiLeaks previously showed future Democratic National Committee Interim Chairwoman and then-CNN contributor Donna Brazile slipping a pair of debate questions to top Clinton aides.

Brazile denied the allegations, however, an email released Monday showed Brazile forwarded at least two other questions to Clinton’s team.

“She got a lot of questions at the debate,” said Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, on “Fox & Friends.” “I mean, if you were at West Point and you got questions like that, they would throw you out of the school if you didn’t report yourself. She didn’t report it. ... She took the questions. She got the answers.

To her supporters this is perfectly acceptable. They say “it just helped her tell the American people her plans

Thomas Jefferson, that great Author of the Declaration of Independence and President of the United States provided us with an indisputable reason for rejecting a Hillary presidency:
"I am not among those who fear the people. They...are our dependence for continued freedom. And to preserve their independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds...our people...must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they (the British) now do, on oatmeal and potatoes; have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers....This example reads to us the salutary lesson that private fortunes are destroyed by public, as well as by private extravagance. And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from the principle in one instance, becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering. Then begins, indeed, the 'bellum omnium in omnia,' which some philosophers...have mistaken for the natural, instead of the abusive, state of man. And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression." - Thomas Jefferson

Are there any legal repercussions for CNN? Can they have their FCC license pulled/suspended?

I hope Trump doesn’t give them the time of day after he is elected.

No legal repercussions, Brazile will replace Comey in the next administration. </s>

Her voters are either ignorant, or stupid. Obamacare going to hell, tens of thousands of refugees not vetted coming in, no borders, country being taken over , military being stripped apart, economy has gone to hell, and only the elitist rich are making out, and they voted for that!!!
Then they find out she cheated Bernie, the Dem party worked with the media to lie, she had Benghazi, said behind closed doors she would say one thing in public and another in private, undercover videos showing how they paid thugs to cause trouble, emails, foundation, corruption, investigations, perjury, destroying evidence, hell the list is so long, and yet people voted for her.

These people have to be not just stupid or ignorant, but both

CNN isn't a broadcaster. They are distributed via closed cable or satellite systems, and no broadcaster license is required.

(Any license is held by the satellite operator)

Your only recourse is:

CNN doesn’t have an FCC license. CNN is a cable channel, not a broadcast network.

It's bad enough that she wouldn't even DREAM of running if she couldn't CHEAT... but, what does it say about her inability to field perfectly direct (and frankly predictable questions, I mean it IS a Presidential campaign) just the way EVERY President has done, on a DAILY basis?

What would you think of someone like Churchill, Kennedy, Truman, or Thatcher or any one else who ever held public office answering to the media or to his/her constituents BUT insisting on having the edge of knowing questions IN ADVANCE. It's just like admitting that: “Hey...I'm so f’n stupid and clueless that I need to know ahead of time, what the questions ARE so I can answer without showing everyone my stupidity.”

That's what I was thinking, but I wasn't sure if there was some other licensing. Isn't there anything legally that can be done to them? It's really disturbing that they can get away with this & impugn the integrity of the election process. I know the cheating was always suspected, but now we have proof.

We have a fake, politically controlled currency now that benefits government and its cronies, at the expense of the masses

I hope when most Americans have had time to absorb all of the Clinton/DEM/MSM manipulation of the populace they will come to the conclusion that the US dodged a huge bullet by not electing Hillary.

The fact that 3rd party candidates look to end up with a bit over 5% cumulative of the popular vote in this election, for some really awful candidates, just goes to show that the country is starting to take notice and have had enough.

They can whine about minorities not showing up to vote, but I think that's a reflection on seeing no help coming from this election. Hopefully Trump/Pence can bring some sense to this country, but I figure it to be rough going for a time with the loud, rabid extreme left making all sorts of trouble.
