On July 25, the Democratic National Convention will begin in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. To commensurate the event and its embrace of corrupt politician Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee, Wikileaks is releasing thousands of DNC/Clinton emails.
In its recent leak of 20,000 DNC emails from January 2015 to May 2016, DNC staff discuss how to deal with Bernie Sanders’ popularity as a challenge to Clinton’s candidacy. Instead of treating Sanders as a viable candidate for the Democratic ticket, the DNC worked against him and his campaign to ensure Clinton received the nomination.
One email from DNC deputy communications director Eric Walker to several DNC staffers cites two news articles showing Sanders leading in Rhode Island and the limited number of polling locations in the state: “If she outperforms this polling, the Bernie camp will go nuts and allege misconduct. They’ll probably complain regardless, actually.”
Instead of treating Sanders with impartiality, the DNC exhibits resentful disdain toward him and the thousands of disenfranchised voters he could have brought into the party.
“Wondering if there’s a good Bernie narrative for a story, which is that Bernie never ever had his act together, that his campaign was a mess,” wrote DNC deputy communications director Mark Paustenbach to DNC communications director Luis Miranda, in response to backlash over DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz shutting off the Sanders campaign’s access to voter database files.
Another chain reveals MSNBC’s Chuck Todd and DNC staff members discussing how to discredit MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski’s call for DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz to resign.
Most of the emails released come from seven prominent DNC staff members: senior adviser Andrew Wright, national finance director Jordon Kaplan, finance chief of staff Scott Comer, communications director Luis Miranda, Northern California finance director Robert Stowe, finance director of data and strategic initiatives Daniel Parrish, finance director Allen Zachary, and communications director Luis Miranda.
The release provides further evidence the DNC broke its own charter violations by favoring Clinton as the Democratic presidential nominee, long before any votes were cast.
Over the past several weeks, Guccifer 2.0 released several internal memos showing DNC staff strategizing to make Clinton the presidential nominee—as early as March 2015. In June 2016, Florida-based law firm, Beck & Lee, filed a class action lawsuit against Wasserman Schultz and the DNC based on the revelations from these leaked files.
Other emails show DNC staff in damage control over allegations from the Sanders campaign, when a report—corroborated by a Politico—revealed the DNC’s joint fundraising committee with the Clinton campaign was laundering money to the Clinton campaign instead of fundraising for down-ticket Democrats. Regardless of the fundraising tactics, because both major campaigns didn’t agree to use the joint fundraising committee super-PAC with the DNC, the DNC should have recused itself from participating with just the Clinton campaign.
The Wikileaks and Guccifer 2.0 leaks are the perfect end to a Democratic primary that undermined democracy at every possible opportunity while maintaining plausible deniability.
The party’s rules, including the use of super delegates—who disproportionately endorsed Clinton before the primaries began—are intended to provide the Democratic Party leverage over the election process. Throughout the primaries, decisions were made by DNC officials to help Clinton build and maintain a lead over Sanders.
More votes were cast for Clinton, but they were cast at the behest of a Democratic Party that downplayed her shortfalls to the extent that Sanders not only had to run against Clinton, but against the entire Democratic Establishment. Heading into the Democratic National Convention, voters are beginning to understand that their voices are of little concern to the leadership.
At first I thought you might have forgotten the "/s" tag. Then it occurred to me that it is REALLY tough to be as corrupt as hillary. Al Capone wasn't even that corrupt.
Bernie Sanders supporters on twitter are PISSED..all saying they wont vote for Hillary Clinton and they KNEW the DNC was corrupt
Someone should post this at DU
See. It’s like this here. Billious Clinton PROMISED
Hitler-y Clinton that, if she would stick with him after
his Monica Lewinsky scandal, he would PERSONALLY see to
it that the PRESIDENCY would be hers for the asking. So,
she stuck and now, by god, she fully intends to extract
her pound of flesh! She thinks we OWE her that for her
trouble and all her “public service”. They are both
ASSES; and that is an insult to the ASS!
Since his son-in-law is owner of the Observer, he may have had an inside track on knowing this.
They got the leaks??
GREAT!!!!!
what twitter tag should i look up?
#DNCLeaks is what is trending on twitter
https://twitter.com/hashtag/DNCLeaks?src=tren&data_id=tweet%3A756583506768191488
you ROCK!!!
LOL!!!!!
I want to hear what Mika Brzezinski has to say about this.
“Of course I’ll swallow.”
There’s gonna be some fireworks in Philly!
Nah. Too ‘Animal House’
Someone should post a YouTube mash-up of Hillary screeching “I am sick and tired...” then play a series of her coughing fits and intersperse it with the “I am sick” portion of her angry screed. The juxtaposition would be a good way of driving home how ill she is and unfit for the stresses of the presidency.

In America, a felon still beats a communist.
Chuck Todd and Jake Tapper clearly must be fired for the outright collusion with the DNC demonstrated in these Wikileaks emails!
ofc the mediascum will protect them and their bosses will say “move along, now, nothing to see here”
