Democrats New Deal
The deal was sealed in 2008 when then democratic nominee Barack Obama defeated Hillary Clinton for the democratic nomination. Much like Bernie, Clinton was prepared to take her fight to the democratic national convention as she was sure her pals, the super delegates, would overturn the will of the people and deliver her the crown.
Obama wanted to avoid a blood bath at the convention as the primary race between clinton and obama was one of the most heated in recent memory and the division between the two camps was huge. Allegations of being a Wall Street puppet, racism, and all the claws came out as you’d naturally expect from a Clinton campaign.
Obama was right to fear a blood bath as many of the super delegates were loyalist Clintonites so he couldn’t afford to go up against them and risk it all. Soon a deal was struck, Obama would pay off Clinton’s campaign debt and assure her the nomination in 2016 as all she had to do was pledge her allegiance and rally her base around Obama.
It was picture perfect, almost too good actually. The first African American president followed by the first female president how historic! But there’s more, to sweeten the deal and make the transition smoother, Clinton was given a kushy oversight free position as Secretary of State. It would be for one term of course, with no inspector general oversight (a vacant inspector general post for a full term has never happened in U.S. history) she was free to set up her private server and ramp up the war chest for her run in 2016. No oversight and no pesky FOIA requests leaving a damming paper trail showing “collusion” pay for play and criminal behavior.
All the chess pieces were set in place early on. Current head of the DNC at that time was Tim Kaine. If he took the deal and agreed to step down and allow Clinton’s then campaign manager, Debbie Wasserman-Shultz to take over the day to day operations at the DNC he would be assured the VP slot in 16’.
Shultz’s leadership over the DNC would prove disastrous. Fundraising was down and democrats were hemorrhaging governorships, senate and House seats. The party literally lost 1000 seats under Obama with DWS heading up the DNC! Why wasn’t she replaced? Why did obama always come out so strong for her around re-election time?? He needed her where she was to see the deal through, we now know.
Cash Flowed to the Clinton’s political war chest as Hillary ran the State Department. Uranium One being a prime and disturbing example. 2.35 million went to the Clinton Foundation from Rosatom as Clinton prepared favorable American policy in regard to the sale of 20% of the nations uranium reserves. Flush with money and everyone in place, the Clinton coronation was set to begin!
I’m not going to go into how the primaries went down and the general eventually played out as we all know in great detail, that there was infact a very brazen assault on democracy this election cycle. But if you ever found yourself scratching your head, watching and wondering why they were oblivious to the obvious, this was why. The deck was stacked and there would be no deviations from the plan.
Now that we have confirmation that our democracy’s transparency is merely a suggestion, the real question is what are we prepared to do about it? How far is the Justice Department and the executive branch of this new administration willing to go? My suggestion?
-all the way to the top.
