It appears quite clear that many Hillary fans support the swiftboating of Bernie [View all]

by powerful members of the MSM who have obvious connections to Hillary. About Chris Matthews, nothing more needs to be added. But who knew that Capehart's partner was Deputy Chief of Protocol at State under Hillary and currently works for her campaign? Amazing what a little digging turns up.

Five years ago, while Nick Schmit, the deputy chief of protocol at the US State Department, was traveling in Japan for work, he got a message from a friend suggesting he meet Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter and MSNBC contributor Jonathan Capehart. They were both single at the time, and the friend thought they would have a lot in common. She was right! As Schmit and Capehart prepare to celebrate their fifth anniversary in November, this lively duo agreed to let Capitol File take a peek into their home to learn more about their happy, busy lives.
