What the WikiLeaks Hack Exposes About Democrat Media Bias
The Daily Signal ^ | July 25, 2016 | Philip Wegmann

Posted on 07/30/2016 9:19:37 AM PDT by Cheerio

Leaked emails seem to suggest that the Democratic National Committee maintains cozy relationships with mainstream media outlets but takes a more caustic approach with publications it believes to be conservative.

According to these emails, party officials stonewalled and blacklisted the Washington Examiner when editors approached the party in May to gather the names of delegates to the Democratic National Convention for publication in a souvenir edition of its magazine.

“I can send an alert to the state parties not to respond to this inquiry,” DNC Deputy Communications Director Eric Walker wrote in an email of May 10. “Examiner is a right wing rag.”

The episode came on the eve of Democrats’ convention this week in Philadelphia. The organization WikiLeaks released nearly 20,000 hacked emails from seven party officials, revealing the inner workings of the national committee’s communications team.

Nothing new here that we didn't already know. BUT in 2016 the RAT Party is no longer hiding it's philosophy and intents to win this election - RIGHT OUT IN THE OPEN ON ALL THE ASPECTS WE DO NOT AGREE WITH. Previous elections had the LEFT hiding their TRUE beliefs. NOW the RAT party is in open MARZISM/COMMIE mode.

The lawmen are investigating the hackers?

They should be investigating the DNC!

It will be nice to see what the Hillary campaign emails have in them about this kind of subject matter. Were they plotting with the MSM? Who will she throw under the bus this time? Surely not Huma....

When an in kind contribution is made to a political candidate, it has to be reported as such. Unreported contributions are criminal.

The Ministry of Propaganda has been exposed for what they are.
The narrative trumps the truth.
Do not refer to them as the Mainstream Media.
Nothing mainstream about what they proffer.

Intent.

No democrat has the “intent” to commit any crime. Their intentions are only good, thus they are all immune from any conceivable sort of prosecution.

All they want to do is help themselves, er I mean others, at their own personal expense and sacrifice.

Same goes for our media. All they want to do is inform their viewers.

Just look at Megyn Kelly, for example. All she does is educate, and the last thing she wants to do is advance herself.

Frankly, we should lock ourselves up voluntarily for daring to second guess the motives of the Democrat Party and its organ, the US media.

It really is and Hillary was projecting all those years ago.
More people are waking up to the fact that the Ministry of Propaganda is lying to them.

Before you read, note: All credit for the discovery goes to /u/bananawhom who posted this to /r/dncleaks, here, I have expanded on it and formatted it to be easier to understand.

https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/21847

(LINK ABOVE) Discussing a 2016 event:

Kristin White: Bennett Murphy gave $33,400 to our 2/11 event (CA472a) but the NFC List 2016 has him down for giving $30,900 this year. Would you mind poking around/updating?

Daniel Parrish: So it looks like he gave $33,400 but since it was a Hope event and he hadn’t maxed out in 2012, $2500 went to the debt. I can add that back in on top of his 2015 total. Does that work for you?

Lindsay Rachelefsky: Yes thank you!

Hey, that would put it in a different reporting period! But there may be something a lot worse here:

Here’s how I think it works.

Someone doesn’t give a max donation one year, for example 2012. The difference between what they actually donated and the maximum personal contribution allowed that year is recorded as “debt.” So this guy “owes” them $2,500.

He then gives $33,400 in 2016, but they take out $2,500 to apply to the “debt” from 2012 and retroactively add that contribution to a year in which he didn’t max out. This frees him up for another $2,500 in the current year.

Depending on how corrupt they are, they could be free to collect all the “debt” from multiple previous years. This could be tens of millions of dollars they have effectively raised their total maximum fund raising by for this election.

Someone who is in “debt” for not donating for the past 3 years could get in 4 times the maximum donation for this year, the very important election year.

Ex - DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s spread sheet (”the big spreadsheet of all things” excel file wikileaks download link), the source of these figures (under the DEBT tab), with the two different $ columns covers the years 2013, 14, 15. We can assume many Democrats maxed out for the 2012 presidential election, but they would have “debt” from the less important years they may not have given as much that could be taken advantage of now.

Changes to contribution law, hidden within the 2014 spending bill, allow the DNC and RNC to take in large checks, then break them up, and distribute them between 4 funds as they see fit.

It is unknown who put this change into the spending bill. According to a certain media company, founded by someone who hosts major fundraisers for both the DNC and DWS, it totally wasn’t her, according to un-named sources. (Ken Lerer, HuffPo)

This breaking up of the check is the point when the funds are free to be moved around, ostensibly to the 4 DNC funds. A crooked politician, however, could take advantage of this point in time when the money is no longer tied to the information from the contributor, like what fund it was written out to or even what date it was from.

Rather than go into specialty funds, the money could go to the general fund, marked as coming in from a previous year - or go into entirely different funds like Hillary’s, or a fund that is used to move money around.

The national party can make unlimited transfer of funds to or from the state, local, and candidate committees. We know there was are claims about money not ending up where it should have when it came to the DNC and state parties with the HFV (confirmed by multiple members of the DNC in the leaks already)... Unlimited transactions provides an opening for software designed for large numbers of rapid speed transactions to send the money back and forth and all over the place many, many times. This would not erase the paper trail, but make it a mile long and difficult to follow. Fraudulently editing the amounts a little bit at a time could also be used and be very difficult to track.

The long periods of “data-hygiene” the NGP system needed to delete duplicate transactions would be a time when some these extra and suspicious transactions could be deleted, before they had to report a period to the FEC. System down for 160 hours to remove duplicates? How would a transaction even get 4+ duplicate copies? Did 4+ different people all add one check to the system and all make different typos? The FEC only needs quarterly reports, and they were keen on getting rid of the duplicates before they had to report.

https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/20870

(LINK ABOVE) Patrick William Hallahan is “the director of special projects at Chopper Trading, a company that buys and sells stocks, bonds and other commodities through automation.” A “special project” for the DNC could be very useful for them given the legislation allowing them to toss money around and make unlimited transactions.

https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/3703

(LINK ABOVE) Here he is organizing a meeting with DNC’s Kaplan, Sam Brown from the DNC’s bank, someone from Hillary’s campaign, and lots of DNC affiliated consultants and financial types.

-——EDIT 2: Additional information about CHOPPER TRADING. That Raj Fernando guy is Chairman and CEO of Chopper Trading too. If you don’t remember, he got caught buying the board seat from Clinton (I’ll post info from his wikipedia below). He gets together with Amy to “help prepare for the eventual nominee.” SEE EMAIL 1150 FOR THE QUOTE This email was written in SEPTEMBER OF 2015

From Raj Fernando’s wikipedia: “In 2011, Fernando was granted a spot on the State Department’s International Security Advisory Board (ISAB) despite his lack of credentials in the subject area. He resigned shortly after, citing his need to focus on the needs of his company and to deal with unexpected and excessive volatility in the international markets. He is a well known donor to the Clinton Foundation and to the Clintons personally, so media groups have speculated on a quid-pro-quo relationship in which the Clintons helped him obtain a seat on the ISAB despite his lack of expertise in the subject.”

“In relation to the 2016 presidential election, ABC News revisited the terms of Fernando’s ISAB appointment, bringing his experience into question. According to the ISAB Charter, membership should reflect a balance of backgrounds, points of view, and demographic diversity and include a wide variety of scientific, military, diplomatic, and political backgrounds.”

“Wade Boese, Chief of Staff for the Office of the Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, suggested Fernando’s appointment had only come at the request of Cheryl Mills, Hillary Clinton’s Chief of Staff.”

Wake up America! We are in a battle for the heart and soul of this republic. The One Worlders (Bilderbergers) and Marxists are hell bent on finally consummating their 100 year old plan of turning America, and along with it the World, into a Marxist cesspool where everyone except the favored few live in poverty and subjugation. It gauls them no end to see common ‘worker bees’ owning cars, second homes, taking cruise vacations and generally living the life that until about the end of the 19th century only the very very rich and connected could enjoy. They are not amused!!!

Did anyone else see Wolf Blitzer breathlessly try to get Katrina Pierson to say that if the Hillary campaign emails were leaked that Trump would ignore them?

Trust me, all other Repubpicans would have taken that bait and said that they are off limits. Just like Bernie did in first debate. Katrina knows her boss well and said if there are things that need to come to light he will speak about them.

What is “Dancing Wolf” afraid of? Media/campaign collusion? Hmmm

The outrage about not giving press conferences is pretty universal in the Establishmedia.

I used to think conspiracy theories were insane. Now I’m watching left wing politicians and the media suppress stories and arrest people for incorrect views on matters.

On Muslim rape gangs

Plus the repeated narrative it is always a lone wolf, no matter how much help or support the person had and how many other incidents occur
