If she wasn't an employee, then why did they fire her? She was fired just like Trumps top adviser was fired. And the rabbit hole gets wider. An anonymous source close to rabbits says it's really more like a rabbit crater. You will find Hillary's emails on her secret Russian hacked server before you find Brazille's w-2, that's just how corrupt they are. And they probably use 1099's to cover it all up. Now it's just a matter of how much they knew about the severed head and when did they know it? Some (and you know accurate Some usually are) are calling it the most corruption they have seen since watergate. Once the investigation gets underway there will be so much evidence you will be sick of new evidence. But I doubt any of it will ever be cited by a totally citationless organization like the DNC and their marketing team at CNN.
They didn't fire her - they severed ties with her - as in she won't appear on CNN anymore to talk or be paid for it. Like Jeffrey Lord or Corey Lewdowski - are they CNN employees as well?
