In an essay for Time published Friday, called “Russian DNC Narrative Played Out Exactly As They Hoped,” the Democratic strategist said she had in fact passed on topics, despite saying she had not when her communications with the campaign were leaked by WikiLeaks in October.

n October, a subsequent release of emails revealed that among the many things I did in my role as a Democratic operative and D.N.C. Vice Chair prior to assuming the interim D.N.C. Chair position was to share potential town hall topics with the Clinton campaign,” she wrote.

In the essay, Brazile said she will “forever regret” the decision to leak the questions to the Clinton campaign.

“My job was to make all our Democratic candidates look good, and I worked closely with both campaigns to make that happen. But sending those emails was a mistake I will forever regret,” she wrote.

Because she was. I see no remorse in her essay, only regret she was caught. Fixed title, at least for my post.

Completely understandable as Bernie is still a rational politician and views Trump as the greater evil, which requires your supporters to trust Clinton.

It was indeed a horrible mistake on her part - she was caught and it hurt Hillary's numbers. She wouldn't have regretted if it didn't hurt her numbers. But this should be obvious to all.

I think Donna Brazile is one of the people that Bernie considers to like to go down on the sinking Titanic.

Too right. She's only sorry she got caught.

Doesn't change the fact that she's a spineless Clinton hack.

Brazile should just become an analyst. I don't think any campaign is gonna hire her. She's better off giving hot takes, like 90% of this forum.

Which news network is going to want to hire the hack who funneled debate questions to the Clinton campaign as an analyst?  That wouldn't be prudent - she can't be trusted not to do it again.

Like others have said, Brazile's only sorry that she got caught.

At this point, who even cares anymore? Trump is in power, not Donna Brazile or Hillary Clinton.

No, he's in power because he got more votes in the right states. Hillary's behavior didn't cause it, though it certainly contributed to it.

And I doubt Bernie would have done much better.

Hillary was a terrible candidate and of course Bernie would have won.
