As Twitchy told you, the most recent batch of emails dumped by WikiLeaks includes one that appears to catch Donna Brazile red-handed in giving another debate heads-up to Hillary Clinton’s campaign. And CNN, Brazile’s former employer, is “completely uncomfortable” with today’s revelation:

OK, that’s fine, but it also raises an important point:
She was a member of the DNC while she worked for them. Why in the world would they have expected otherwise? https://t.co/hcMO31cEVc

Excellent question.

That is hotdamn hilarious.

CNN shocked, shocked, shocked that Clintonite on its payroll acted like Clintonite on Clinton payroll. https://t.co/aBkBOd3wOr

1) How is Brazile still the chair of the DNC
2) HOW DID CNN KEEP THE DNC CHAIR AS A CONTRIBUTOR?— Tim Carney (@TPCarney) October 31, 2016
And speaking of questions, CNN’s response has many people wondering about what seems to be another conflict of interest at the network:
@ErikWemple @jaketapper Corey Lewandowksi says hello.

@mlcalderone @WaPoSean then what about Cory at CNN?
— Constance (@OneConstance) October 31, 2016
@ErikWemple @jaketapper How comfortable are they with Corey Lewandowski?
— (((Dan Isaacs))) (@CopyDan) October 31, 2016
@ErikWemple Two words @CNN : Corey Lewandowski
— JoJo (@minnesotajo) October 31, 2016
@ErikWemple They're "uncomfortable" with that but Lewandowski can be on Trump's payroll? What a joke.

@oliverdarcy @BrettLoGiurato @donnabrazile Is this the same CNN that employs Corey Lewandowski?
— Gordon G. Forbes (@ggforbes) October 31, 2016
@mlcalderone @DylanByers but having Lewandowski on the payroll they are completely comfortable with! CNN is trash
— Kyle (@Kentroyals5) October 31, 2016
@ErikWemple yet they employ Corey Lewandowski
— Jason Hayes (@jrh1291) October 31, 2016
@oliverdarcy @donnabrazile Oh please but CNN is totally fine with Corey Lewandowski being paid by Trump/CNN flying on his plane?
— PhenomenalWoman (@1nePhenomenalMe) October 31, 2016
@mlcalderone I'm completely uncomfortable about Corey Lewandowski working for @CNN while on the Trump payroll, but #IOKIYAR. #doublestandards

HuffPo’s Michael Calderone addressed that:
Many citing Lewandowski and agree he's been major conflict for CNN https://t.co/Su83wYKQsC But Brazile matter over tipping debate questions.
