... really thought that's what the HRC campaign should've done is deny the emails were real and bash the media for posting non verified emails.

There's nothing on the emails that says authentic or from an account...

Anyone can right up an email with some IP info embedded and claim its from someones account

And added persecution for religion and gender on top. Never got traction.

Clearly, Brazile is bragging how she gets debate questions in advance and put it upon herself to forward at least one to the Clinton campaign. A more recently unearthed email finds that the question Brazile sent to Clinton's campaign was regarding the death penalty. It appears to be word-for-word.

When Kelly asked Brazile who forwarded her those questions, Brazile refused to answer.

"As a Christian woman, I understand persecution, but I will not sit here and be persecuted" she said.

"I am not going to try to validate falsified information," Brazile insisted. "CNN has never provided me with questions. A lot of those emails I would not give them the time of day."

"This has not been verified," she added.

For answers, Brazile invited Kelly to "go to Russia

Wonder how long it is before the US and Russia greenlight a British entry into the Ecuadorian embassy now that they got what they wanted out of Julian Asshole?

after Trump, Russia and wikileaks coordinated to bring down the United States, I have to wonder what happened. Unless this "rift" is all just for show. They are demanding the returns to create a false appearance of animosity towards Trump, when in fact they never have any intention of releasing the returns even if they get them. Cannot trust a word coming from any of these groups. So many false flags, lies and gaslighting it is impossible to keep it all straight.
