Leaked emails show the Democratic National Committee scrambled this spring to conceal the details of a joint fundraising arrangement with Hillary Clinton that funneled money through state Democratic parties.
During the three-month period when the DNC was working to spin the situation, state parties kept less than one half of one percent of the $82 million raised through the arrangement — validating concerns raised by campaign finance watchdogs, state party allies and Bernie Sanders supporters.

Well, Kev is a lucky man then!
He is!
Yep, this matches up with item #5 in the list I posted here:

Add Soros 25 million who bought and paid for Hillary as his mouth piece. How much money is setting in the Clinton Foundation for private speeches full of promises selling this country out? People do not pay millions to someone for nothing. Hillary is bought and paid for.
Actually, the country started to go down hill after the 1912
election that put the progressive but racist Woodrow Wilson
in the White House. That election was a if not the watershed event for the US (excluding the Revolutionary War and Civil War). There is a great book that discusses that election.
“1912: Wilson, Roosevelt, Taft and Debs—The Election that Changed the Country,” by Jame Chace. It is only about 280 pages long. I have read it a couple of times and gain insights into that era each time I have read it

Leaked emails show the Democratic National Committee scrambled this spring to conceal the details of a joint fundraising arrangement with Hillary Clinton that funneled money through state Democratic parties.
But during the three-month period when the DNC was working to spin the situation, state parties kept less than one half of one percent of the $82 million raised through the arrangement — validating concerns raised by campaign finance watchdogs, state party allies and Bernie Sanders supporters.
The arrangement, called the Hillary Victory Fund, allowed the Clinton campaign to seek contributions of hundreds of thousands of dollars to attend extravagant fundraisers including a dinner at George Clooney’s house and a concert at Radio City Music Hall featuring Katy Perry and Elton John. That’s resulted in criticism for Clinton, who has made opposition to big money in politics a key plank in her campaign platform.

The DNC’s deputy communications director Eric Walker in late April emailed a group of top officials asserting that the party shouldn’t “discuss funding allocations in the press for the RNC to see what we’re doing.” His boss Luis Miranda responded “There's been no coverage that we've found, which is what we wanted.”
Miranda argued in the emails that the committee should try to shape any coverage by claiming that “while the funds are going to the DNC right now to build tools and capacity for the general election, there will be a point when the funds stay in the states to fund coordinated campaigns that are now beginning to get organized.” But in a subsequent email in early May he admitted he wasn’t sure if the coordinated campaigns with the state parties were already getting started “or does it start later in the summer?”
Wasserman Schultz responded: “It starts now.”
But a POLITICO analysis of Federal Election Commission records shows that very little money from the victory fund went to the states after that point.
