Debbie Wasserman Schultz was the co-chair of Hillary's 2008 presidential run, where she lost the nomination to Obama. So, in order to lock down the nomination for 2016, Hillary would've had to put Schultz in charge of the DNC and manipulate it from within.

In order for this corruption scheme to work, the Clintons would have needed first to not only get the current DNC chair at the time to step down, but also get them to recommend Schultz for the position. A big request. And the Clintons would have likely needed to promise a powerful favor to that DNC chair, something more prestigious than being head of the Democratic party.

So who was that person and what did they get in return?

The previous chair of the DNC prior to Debbie Wasserman Schultz was.....

Tim Kaine.

Let that sink in for a moment...
