9. HRC was made aware of the DNC's financial problems

at the time her fund raising agreement was being hammered out.

Her side negotiated tough love terms: paying down the debt, prudent spending, and oversight over operations to make sure the DNC was digging itself out from under. In addition, she lent the DNC $10,000,000 and engaged in robust fund raising to put the DNC on the path to solvency, despite the fact that it garnered her the contempt of the purists.

HRC served and continues to serve the party well, by raising funds for candidates and the party this cycle and by having donated (with little fanfare) a former candidate's most valuable asset - her email list - to the DNC.

Damn that Hillary!

It doesn't matter that the accusation makes no sense and is based on nothing. People don't make conclusions based on traditional methods of establishing truth anymore.

17. Releasing that excerpt may have been a marketing strategy to sell the book.

Right wing outlets are characterizing the excerpt as an "op-ed" about Clinton corruption. People who never would have given the book a second glance are now sure to buy it.
