Since you linked to the DNC/Donna Brazile story, could you also link to one of the stories that gives that piece some context? Despite what Brazile says, the funding agreement was standard practice with all candidates, and the DNC had one with the Sanders campaign as well.

Talkingpointsmeme Josh Marshall has an editorial with links and further context.
