DNC Rybak says "It's not easy" for vice chairs to keep things fair...

[polichick]

When asked if the chair DWS was neutral.

He was saying that it was hard to keep it fair while working with her. (Sorry, I didn't make that clear at first.)

On msnbc now.

2. I was so glad that Joy asked if DWS was neutral - Rybak very obviously thinks not.

3. It's too harrrrrddddd!!!!!

Especially when it goes against your own corrupt values, paycheck and job security to be ethical, fair and impartial.

[polichick]

4. I think he meant it was hard when working wih DWS.

5. Just going with the title

Not going to click on a MSM link that is on the same side as Sec. Wall St.

6. It was a good interview with Joy Reed - I edited, so thanks for tipping me off.

7. Thanks for posting this...

Rybak did not answer Joy Reid's specific question directly, but left no question in any intelligent listener's mind that DWS is firmly in the Hillary camp and the vice chairs work hard to try to keep a semblance of fairness with all campaigns.

Peace

8. I appreciate how you put it! I was literally typing on my way out the door and...

made it too short.

9. You know what I haven't seen posted is this possibility...

1) The software provider's top mgmnt was HRC's data manager in 2008
2) Sander's campaign notified DNC of the firewall fail in Oct.
3) Apparently the failure was never permanently fixed and kept occurring.
4) Is it not possible that the Clinton campaign's people wandered around in the Sander's data?
5) Is it not possible that DWS was complicit in keeping the flaw open and using the flaw to "bait" the Sander's campaign.

When I watched DWS's appearance and explanation of the suspension, she had WAY TOO MUCH EMOTION in her voice and I think Scuba (in a separate post) said the 'blink factor' indicated she was not being truthful.

Peace

10. All good points - this should be an op!

17. I don't think that it was a bug. I think it was feature.

And I think it was used so that Clinton's aides could get access to Sanders' and O'Malley's data.

I think the Bernie campaign threw a cog in the wheel when their team noticed it in October and reported it. THAT is what I think wasn't supposed to happen.

11. Does that mean they lose their chair if

they remain neutral to our candidates?

[polichick]

13. He seemed to be suggesting that it was difficult to...

rein in those who wanted to tip the scale. Wish it had been a longer interview.

12. somehow i feel refreshed this morning.

that one of sanders' staffers colossally blundered has now led to the light of truth dawning (for a wider audience) on a much bigger more systemic problem in the democratic party that a lot of us already knew - DNC = de facto clinton campaign.

i was very very pleasantly surprised yesterday when DFA, moveon.org and the nurses union all put out statements in support of sanders. i was also very pleasantly suprised and proud that the moveon.org petition got nearly 300,000 signers in less than 24 hours.
and the best laugh i have had in a long time? of all things, the statement put out by the RNC on the issue.

and rybak, gabbard, greenwald, jim webb, robert reich and even axelrod have all made public statements (to their potential detriment vis-a-vis clintons wrath) that lend credence to this. it has now reached beyond the level of conspiracy and entered public discussion.

thank you DNC/wasserman-schultz/clinton/whothefuckever very much for tying the noose around your own neck. and fuck you very much for besmirching the democratic process.

14. Well said - this is so good...

I'm not sure the staffer didn't know what this would lead to though - he might be taking one for the team (the team being the American people).

15. They won't know until they actually try. n/t

16. I was waiting for his input. This should be upsetting to many

DNC members.
