Thousands of leaked emails have sealed the fate of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz's uneven five-plus-year tenure as DNC chair.
Wasserman Schultz's resignation announcement Sunday afternoon comes as a bad situation just keeps getting worse -- and appears as though it might continue to do so. That's because WikiLeaks has so far released nearly 20,000 emails, new details are still being discovered, and there is still the prospect of additional, damaging emails coming to light.
Many of the most damaging emails suggest the committee was actively trying to undermine Bernie Sanders's presidential campaign. Basically all of these examples came late in the primary -- after Hillary Clinton was clearly headed for victory -- but they belie the national party committee's stated neutrality in the race even at that late stage.
Below is a running list of the most troublesome findings for Wasserman Schultz and her party. As new revelations come out, we'll update it.
1) Targeting Sanders's religion?
On May 5, DNC officials appeared to conspire to raise Sanders's faith as an issue and press on whether he was an atheist -- apparently in hopes of steering religious voters in Kentucky and West Virginia to Clinton. Sanders is Jewish but has previously indicated that he's not religious.
One email from DNC chief financial officer Brad Marshall read: “It might may no difference, but for KY and WVA can we get someone to ask his belief. Does he believe in a God. He had skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage. I think I read he is an atheist. This could make several points difference with my peeps. My Southern Baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist."
Marshall added in a later email: “It’s these Jesus thing.”
In response, CEO Amy Dacey said: "Amen."

It just gets better.
Oh my.....WaPo telling us the truth about the emails. Yeah riiiiiiiight!
I find it hilariously hypocritical that the DNC would be using someone’s faith in anything they do, especially in light of them trying to eradicate God from their platform as well as from the public arena.
Seriously, if anyone claims to be a Christian and votes D, then I for one believe that they need to take a serious introspective look at their faith.
All this won’t matter to millions of zombie ‘voters.’
Man, I’m ready for the Wikileaks DNC email dump!
I notice nothing in this report about the cozy relationship with the liberal media. Wonder why not?
I’m gonna need to stock up on popcorn :-)
The WaPo is probably trying to polish their own bona fides, in case one of their so-called journalists suddenly appears in an email chain.
“All this won’t matter to millions of zombie ‘voters.’”
Or the dead ones.

Jordan-Regards And hope you are well. I am writing to see if you have time to meet Juan Verde April 14-15. Juan will be in DC and would like to introduce himself.
As background, Juan is former administration appointee as well as veteran bundler for Bill Clinton, President Obama and HRC. In Addition, he has raised/donated several millions for both Gore and Clinton foundations in the last few years. His network is substantial and he is very effective.
Juan would like to help with the all efforts including the foundation at the appropriate time but introduce himself now.
Thanks for your time and attention.

They didn’t mention how damaging it is to show that the Washington Post works in cahoots with the DNC.
The rats aren’t in an uproar because this rotten behavior has been going on in their midst, they are scurrying around because it has been made public and they have to appear to be doing something about it.
The biggest scandal is the DNC ties to the media. Everything else pales in comparison. We find we not only cannot trust the media, but now have proof it is all rigged.
You are going to go through a lifetime supply of popcorn by the time we get 20JAN2017!
Washington Post posting this because they have also been implicated in this email scandal..they are in the tank for the Democrats
Whatever they report on, you can bet that they are sitting on something much worse.
Costco has the 50 lb bags,get several.
Too late. Already a bunch of emails with the DNC about them assigning a bunch of reporters to go after Trump. Which proves he was ri get to pull their press credentials on his campaign.
yeah I don’t believe those are the worse things in those emails lol
