Hacked emails show Democratic party hostility to Sanders

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A cache of more than 19,000 emails from Democratic party officials, leaked in advance of Hillary Clinton's nomination at the party's convention next week in Philadelphia, details the acrimonious split between the Democratic National Committee and Clinton's former rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Several emails posted by Wikileaks on its document disclosure website show DNC officials scoffing at Sanders and his supporters and in one instance, questioning his commitment to his Jewish religion. Some emails also show DNC and White House officials mulling whether to invite guests with controversial backgrounds to Democratic party events.

Although Wikileaks' posting of the emails Friday did not disclose the identity of who provided the private material, those knowledgeable about the breach said last month that Russian hackers had penetrated the DNC computer system. At the time, DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said the breach was a "serious incident" and a private contractor hired to sweep the organization's network had "moved as quickly as possible to kick out the intruders and secure our network."

March on the Convention!

Perfect timing...

Sanders should file suit.

Yup, rigged system.

Looking forward to Trump bringing this up over and over again.

Yes he should. Besides I think it was fishy when they gave Hillary Rotten Clinton right away so many super delegates and none to Sanders. It was fixed from the beginning.

The Wikileaks e-mail release today was so bad to Sanders that it will make it impossible for him to support her, unless he is a fraud!

Bernie will kiss the ring next week. He doesn’t have a choice. Bernie’s people, though, they’re not happy and they’re not going away.

As far as I can see, he has no claim. It is legal to lie and cheat in politics.

I would NOT be surprised that on the first day of the Democratic National Convention, Bernie Sanders announces he's pulling his endorsement for Hillary Clinton. Once that happens, it's time to break out this:

Because the Convention could suddenly turn REAL messy. We're going to need way more than just popcorn.

Say what you will about Julian Assange and WikiLeaks, but right now they look like Santa Claus and his North Pole workshop.

Assange likely has the entire contents of Hillary Clinton's private email server.

But just as damaging is the possibility that Donald Trump may have information very damaging to the Clinton campaign, primarily through people he knows that dealt personally with the Clintons in the New York City area. We may find out a lot more about Hillary's relationship with her confidant Huma Abedin and lot of very damaging information about Bill Clinton post 2001. And possibly the people the Clintons had direct contact with since that time.

Well, yes, Sanders is a fraud.... but the next few days should be interesting.
