Trouble in Hillaryland: David Brock resigns from Hillary Clinton PAC
In a resignation letter obtained by POLITICO, Brock, a close Clinton ally, accused Priorities officials of planting “an orchestrated political hit job” against his own pro-Clinton groups, American Bridge and Media Matters.
Those groups – along with another pro-Clinton group, the super PAC Ready for Hillary – had their fundraising practices called into question last week by a New York Times report. It pointed out that veteran Democratic fundraiser Mary Pat Bonner got a 12.5 percent commission on funds she raised for Brock’s groups, and a smaller percentage commission on cash she raised for Ready for Hillary.
In his letter to the co-chairs of Priorities’ board – former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm and former Obama campaign manager Jim Messina – Brock alleged that “current and former Priorities officials were behind this specious and malicious attack on the integrity of these critical organizations.”

I have a close relative who works for Brock, and who has been talking for months about how much effort money and manpower his organizations were preparing to put behind the Hillary campaign; can't wait to find out what the inside scoop is and what this now means.

"Brock, a close Clinton ally"
This place has become as nasty and vile as any RW site when it comes to the Clintons. Unfortunately for the perpetual haters, in the real world the Clintons are very popular within the party.
Good find!
Priorities USA Action is a PAC. It is not part of any official Hillary campaign, particularly since she still hasn't announced she's running.
I don't come here that often anymore. The negativity and vicious attacks on people who I respect and like was wearing me down. There's enough stress in the real world to have to spend one's free time continually arguing with people on an internet site.
Going by what I read around here on a regular basis, some will not vote for the nominee if that nominee is Hillary. I guess they think that a Republican will do a better job in the WH. It's a "cut your nose to spite yourself" approach to politics. Ridiculous and ineffective.
