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.
Heading over to Trump’s Twitter page to see what he has to say....
OK , How is this news ,it’s the Democratic Party
“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.”
The Trump campaign should do TV ads, showing the text, all during the Dem Convention next week. It’ll really piss off the Bernie-ites, and at least get a BUNCH of them (maybe literally a few hundred thousand) to stay home. I don’t really have much hope of them voting for Trump (though some will do so, of course), but if they (i.e. normally solid Dem voters) stay home, that’s a big victory for both Trump and the national/local Republican Party.
If Trump’s campaign doesn’t want to do this itself (maybe it is a bit unseemly, and Clinton didn’t say much during the Republican Convention), then certainly one of the PACs backing Trump can do it.
We have about 100 days to pound Hillary into the dust - given that she and the Dems will cheat for all they’re worth, our side has to hit her literally every single day. This would be a good start, and will tank her poll ratings.
This isn’t a secret, that’s what the Super-delegates are for.
Wow, sounds like a treasure trove.
Who knew Chuck Todd was a power bottom for the DNC?
PROOF that Bernie had the nomination stolen from him by CORRUPT Hillary and her accomplices on the DNC. OCCUPY!! Trump was right. Lying Crooked Hillary! On to Philly and stop her!
The real news would be if the democratic party actually followed the law.
Republicans need to jump all over this and maybe win some democrat votes.
Huh? Got English?
The only competition to Clinton ownership of the DNC is the Obama organization. Both have what should be seriously damaging information each about the other but a ratting-out exchange between them will damage the Sultan far more than the Clintons. QED: the Clintons own the DNC.
Drive a van with loudspeakers past the convention center blaring Crooked Hillary. When they start throwing rocks, open the back of the van and...water cannon
Bernie now has sufficient evidence for a massive lawsuit. Bet he regrets endorsing that cow.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz’ private office telephone line:
202-863-7162
(-:
Many Berners are going to write him in ... which of course is a vote for Trump, perhaps balanced by those GOPers voting protest for Gary Johnson.
What should we search for in those emails.
A great leak by Wikileaks - drive a wedge within the MSM.
I’m Lovin’ it! (Hmmm...making me hungry for McDonalds)
Now we know what to look out for. Oh and roaming black panthers at the polling place.
