As the latest round of Podesta Wikileaks emails are still being sifted through, the amount of corruption, intimidation and conspiracies coming to light is staggering.
Recall that in August, right before the Democratic National Convention, Wikileaks also exposed emails from the DNC proving that they colluded with the Clinton campaign in order to get her elected while suppressing her challenger Bernie Sanders.
Now, thanks to the Wikileaks Podesta emails, we see just far they were willing to go in order to "punish" Democratic Super Delegates who decided to throw their support behind Sanders, rather than blindly following orders to get behind Clinton's candidacy.
This latest email, with the subject "Disappointed", was originally written by Former Clinton Foundation Director, Darnell Strom, to Representative Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat for Hawaii's 2nd congressional district. Gabbard was also a Super Delegate for the DNC this year and elected to support Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton. Apparently that was a mistake in the eyes of Clinton allies, and Gabbard had to punished.
Darnell Strom writes a strongly worded, and condescending email to Tulsi Gabbard stating that he was "disappointed" to see her resign her position with the DNC to support Bernie Sanders. He continues by saying how "impressed" he was with her intellect, passion and commitment to "getting things done on behalf of the American people", while also throwing in several statement admonishing Sander's history with the Democratic party.
Strom also referenced Michael Knives, a Hollywood CAA agent who is known for making donations and throwing major fundraisers for Democratic candidates. Strom bluntly states that "Hillary Clinton will be our party's nominee" and by Gabbard supporting Sander's "sinking ship" she is being "disrespectful to Hillary Clinton".
Finally, Gabbard's punishment for her support of Sanders is the pulling of any fundraising activities as Strom states, "we no longer trust your judgment so will not be raising money for your campaign".
The message is clear. Support the will of Hillary Clinton, or incur her wraith and pay a severe price.
The email can be found on Wikileaks at this link.
FW: DisappointedThis email goes to show the appalling lack of respect that Clinton's allies have for Democracy, free will and a delegates choice to support a candidate of their choosing. Anyone who dared to go against the will of the Clintons will endure serious consequences and their political careers made significantly more difficult. This likely isn't the only Super Delegate to receive such a strongly worded email, as I can only imagine anyone who strayed from the Democratic party's decision that Hillary Clinton will be their nominee would endure similar misfortunes.From: Darnell Strom

Representative Gabbard,
We were very disappointed to hear that you would resign your position with the DNC so you could endorse Bernie Sanders, a man who has never been a Democrat before. When we met over dinner a couple of years ago I was so impressed by your intellect, your passion, and commitment to getting things done on behalf of the American people. For you to endorse a man who has spent almost 40 years in public office with very few accomplishments, doesn't fall in line with what we previously thought of you. Hillary Clinton will be our party's nominee and you standing on ceremony to support the sinking Bernie Sanders ship is disrespectful to Hillary Clinton. A woman who has spent the vast majority of her life in public service and working on behalf of women, families, and the underserved.
You have called both myself and Michael Kives before about helping your campaign raise money, we no longer trust your judgement so will not be raising money for your campaign.
Darnell Strom & Michael Kives

If Hillary Clinton is allowed in the White House, expect similar threats, bullying and blackmail tactics to prevent anyone (even elected officials) from getting in the way of her desires.
This is corruption beyond corruption.
The RNC would never do this!
....anyway to get this to Sanders supporters?...
They won’t find it anywhere else
What is the Clinton Foundation doing donating money to Democrats’ campaigns anyway? Is that considered charity now? Well, they’re charity cases, I know...
I read this stuff and I’m mildly amused, because we knew forever that the left is filled with bottom-feeding scumbags. But I do wonder how the leftists - who in this instance have been direct targets of each other’s treachery - are reacting to all of the revelations and personal attacks?
If anyone in the democrat party had any patriotism at all, it’s Tulsi Gabbard. Though she did pull for Bernie, she at least did choose against the most evil political cabal in American history.
She’s a democrat I could vote for, being a tough combat veteran and having some actual American pride. Doesn’t hurt she’s a very lovely woman.
Sure looks like you just post your own stuff.

What’s up with that?
Making lots of money with that?
Hey, it also seems like you just post your own stuff and never reply.

What’s up with that?
Sure looks a lot like you are a scumsucking blogpimp just
using FR as an advertising source to pay for hookers and crack.
Do you have an opinion about that?
My site isn’t monetized, I’m not selling anything or making money in any way. I’m supporting Trump in the only way I can this year, by utilizing my Web design abilities. If I can help post some news on FR that hasn’t been posted before, what’s the harm in that?
“Do you have an opinion about that?”
Yes, I do. I don’t make any money from my website. In fact, it costs me time and money, but I’m happy to do it to help Trump in this election. I’m in PA and have used my site to get people in my area involed.
Also, I wouldn’t say I never reply, I comment on other threads and I’m replying to you. However, I’m busy trying to make a living and survive after the company I was employed with for 5 years decided to shut down and outsource their operations to the Philippines. So in addition to taking time out of my day to write about Trump and make calls for his campaign in PA, I do freelance writing for other people online just to scrap up enough money to pay the bills, basically making around $5/hr.
After I lost my job last year, I moved away from the city and back to a rural area where I grew up. I always wanted to live in the country again, but there’s really no jobs out here for someone with my tech background. So I scrounge up whatever freelance writing jobs I can online on a daily basis to try and keep my head above water.
In addition to all this stress though, I am so passionate about this year’s election that I dedicate whatever time I have to posting articles on my website that the mainstream media will never touch. And I take pride that I have no ads or monetization programs on my website, it’s strictly helpful information and articles for people to enjoy, even though I probably should monetize it because I’m dirt poor, but this is election is about the future of our country.
Although, I understand where you’re coming from and appreciate your zeal.
