Emails among DNC employees were released by anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks over the weekend appearing to expose favoritism for presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton over her chief rival in the primary contest, Senator Bernie Sanders.

The correspondence prompted the resignation of DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Sunday, ..

Separately, the U.S. House of Representatives intelligence committee has been briefed on the hack ..

Maybe they’ll find all of Hillary’s missing emails as well as those of Lois Lerner and her band of criminals at the IRS.

If not, they can always ask the Russians and Red Chinese for copies of them.

Looking for a way to blame it on Trump, Preibus, or Dubya?

Dear Mr. Comey:

Check Hillary’s server, you know, the one in the bathroom.

Hey Norm... hope you’re well.

Perhaps they should be referred to as “The FIB” moving forward.

The CORRUPT FBI will probably indict TRUMP somehow since you can indict a ham sandwich, but no Clinton!!!

[Ann Archy]

BINGO!! The Democrats are CLEVER....they know exactly how to CHANGE the FOCUS of their problem....IMMEDIATELY!! With the MEDIA’s help of course!!

After a year of investigating Hillary and her home grown server the FBI were unable to determine if it had been hacked. Comey did say it was possible but they had not been able to conclusively make that call ... stating that sophisticated hackers leave no evidence.
However, with the WikiLeaks hack of the DNC server and the subsequent dump of their e-mails last Friday the determination was made over the weekend Russian hackers, with Putin behind it, were responsible. Wow ... fast work FBI.

First and last findings are simple.

Trump and Putin did not create, send or receive any of these emails in this issue.

Clinton and her unvetted staff created, sent and/or received all of the emails in this issue.
