Then rips Hil, Dems
Russians who promised “dirt” on Clinton.
Most Democrats on Friday hoped to focus on the future — as some called for an end to the joint fund-raising agreements that gave Clinton control of the party’s coffers.
“I think Donna’s story just adds more evidence to what we already knew,” Democratic strategist and former Sanders campaign adviser Mark Longabaugh told the Daily News. “As Dems we need to stop relitigating the 2016 campaign. From our standpoint we have no interest in looking back.”
Longabaugh noted that the party’s Unity Reform Commission offers the chance for “a set of DNC reforms that creates a more transparent DNC.”
Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, agreed, calling for the end of joint fund-raising agreements and other rules that give one candidate a leg up during a primary.

A pair of people briefed on the matter, who spoke to the New York Times on condition of anonymity, said the person who deactivated Trump’s Twitter account during their final day on the job was not a full-time employee with the company. In the end, the President’s account was down for a total of 11 minutes. Trump responded fittingly — with a tweet: “My Twitter account was taken down for 11 minutes by a rogue employee. I guess the word must finally be getting out — and having an impact.” A former employee told BuzzFeed “a lot” of workers have the capability to suspend accounts, though not many can fully deactivate them. Twitter said it’s reviewing its procedures.
