(23,187 posts)She never said, I believe, whether or not she ultimately found evidence of "rigging". Here is what Brazille did say however:
"The funding arrangement with HFA and the victory fund agreement was not illegal, but it sure looked unethical. If the fight had been fair, one campaign would not have control of the party before the voters had decided which one they wanted to lead.

As to 15%, we will disagree. O'Malley was "overwhelmed" by the vote count - not Sanders who won over 13 million votes. Keep in mind that, among Democrats at least, Hillary Clinton entered the nominating contest as the second most celebrated politician in America - after Barack Obama, with early endorsements from half of Congressional Democrats. Sanders was virtually unknown. This is as far as I will venture down this particular discussion path. Hillary was the victor in the primaries. I supported her for President
