The agreement—signed by Amy Dacey, the former CEO of the DNC, and Robby Mook with a copy to Marc Elias—specified that in exchange for raising money and investing in the DNC, Hillary would control the party’s finances, strategy, and all the money raised. Her campaign had the right of refusal of who would be the party communications director, and it would make final decisions on all the other staff. The DNC also was required to consult with the campaign about all other staffing, budgeting, data, analytics, and mailings.
Where was I? Browsing the SandersForPresident reddit, when this was posted as breaking news. So I've long been aware of this. However, what I do when I read controversial news like this is to wait to hear what the other side had to say. After some time, it turned out that there were two documents in question to consider, one that had to do with fundraising for the DNC after the primaries were over (which Bernie's campaign also signed) and the other had to do with staff selection and not fundraising (AFAIK). So this is why I challenged Chad to post a source to lend credence to the exact claims he was making. Not because I was ignorant of Donna Brazile's book and articles and tweets on the DNC (in fact, she herself later confusingly "clarified" that she never said the DNC rigged the election in favor of Hillary), but because I had a feeling some people don't take the time to read both sides of the story.
Here's to show Bernie's campaign also had signed the fundraising agreement before the primaries.
