A group of Democratic National Committee officials approved and then withheld from their own leadership a proposal to carve out a generous exit package for the party chair, Tom Perez, and two top lieutenants, leaving Democrats confounded over the weekend by the optics and timing of the decision on the eve of the presidential primary.

The proposal, put forward as an official DNC resolution during a meeting of the party’s budget and finance committee last Friday, would have arranged for Perez and two of his top deputies, CEO Seema Nanda and deputy CEO Sam Cornale, to each receive a lump-sum bonus equaling four months’ salary within two weeks of the time they eventually leave their roles.

Senior DNC officers, including members of Perez’s own executive committee, learned of the compensation package after its approval, through the rumor mill, setting off a furious exchange of emails and texts over the weekend to determine what had been proposed, and by whom.

“Hillary sets up a buyout of the DNC again, complete with golden parachute”.

Maybe.

Or maybe its just legitimate (as these things go) featherbedding.

“The package would have paid Perez around $69,000, Nanda around $61,000, and Cornale $39,000.”

Pretty cheap. Wonder how much they have skimmed off already?

No big deal. It’s somebody else’s money. If Bernie wins, he’ll install his own rats at the DNC. Bernie got 600k to quit the 2016 race.

Perez was a real piece of work, if I recall - severely damaged the DNC. Not that I mind if he does that - I would think Democrats would, though.

As of December the DNC had 8 grand in cash and 6 grand owed. Tom’s fund raising is amazing. It is one of his abilities that I like to see in a DNC chairman.

It’s not a lot of money but the timing is interesting, as is the fact that they hid it. Hey, if they want to make a scandal out if it it’s ok with me.

lump-sum bonus equaling four months’ salary

Does not strike me as being overly generous.

2012 - DNC Broke and in the red. Hillary bails them out, claims executive approval over DNC. Was loan every paid back?
2020 - DNC has generous exit packages?

Where’d they get the money?
