... she should have known about it and prevented it from happening (as others have implied) and even if she knew about it, she may have let it happen (as another groups believes).

and only consented to revealing their preference to the AP as long as the AP wouldn't publicly identify who they are. The AP agreed.

(7,318 posts)7. Your assessment is patently absurd.
It would not have been announced unless Clinton approved.

Clinton money email uses images labeled 'secret win'
Hillary Clinton was careful not to claim victory ahead of all the contests Tuesday after the Associated Press declared her to have clinched the needed number of delegates to be the Democratic nominee.
But her campaign sent out a fundraising email to capitalize on the historic moment. It thanks supporters, but adds that the primary "isn't (quite) over" and urges people to "show Hillary that you have her back."
The images in the email were labeled "secret win."
