The release of Democratic National Committee emails by WikiLeaks Friday reveals that DNC officials planned anti-Donald Trump protests.
In multiple emails DNC officials sign off and acknowledge the existence of two anti-Donald Trump protests in South Bend, IN. and Billings, MT. The release of nearly 20,000 emails is the first in a WikiLeaks “Hillary Leaks” series.
On April 29, a DNC press staffer, Rachel Palermo, alerted Eric Walker, deputy communications director, about a Facebook page for an anti-Trump protest on May 2 in South Bend. “Whoo! Thanks to our interns for finding this out.” Walker replies, “I like it, as long as the students feel safe getting involved. I imagine this demo will be nicer than the one in San Fran today.”
That day in San Francisco protesters blocked off roads to an event Donald Trump was hosting. The Republican nominee ended up having jump down from the highway and to sneak around back to enter.
In another other email chain also on April 29, titled “Week-Ahead Notes & Assignments,” former DNC media booker Pablo Manriquez comments “this should be fun” in reference to the May protest.
University of Notre Dame, located in South Bend, is Manriquez’s alma mater, and a DNC official wrote, “Pablo please reach out to any folks you think may be able to help.”
Another protest is directly mentioned in emails, including one that occurred on May 26 in Billings, Mont. The email is from May 20 and features notes on the “week ahead.”
Intern involvement with protests is mentioned twice in the leaked emails. DNC communications director Luis Miranda bemoaned photos of an empty anti-Trump protest in Washington, D.C. in one email chain.
Miranda said: “Going forward, when our allies screw up and don’t deliver bodies in time, we either send all our interns out there or we stay away from it.. we don’t want to own a bad picture.”
Miranda was notified of the protests in an email by another DNC email chain titled “Tv coverage of protest great.” The original email notified the DNC communications director of the Indiana protest, and a DNC staffer wrote, “thanks to our interns for finding this out.”
DNC officials Brad Marshall, a chief financial officer, and Alan Reed, a compliance officer, also signed off on the use of Black Lives Matter organizer Deray Mckesson as a surrogate for Hillary Clinton.
Mckesson rose to prominence after being active in protests in Ferguson, MO. and Baltimore, MD. He has has yet to endorse a candidate and said protests are likely to happen at the upcoming Democratic Party convention.
Evidence of the infamous Astro-Turf?
I’m guessing that’s a group photo of this year’s DNC intern cohort.
Are there any DNC emails to BLM or any other group asking them for their expertise or thanking them for their expertise?
Why are all the men to the left, and the women to the right? Is that to keep their Muslims happy?
Okay. Sorry. That was over the top. He is not a secret democrat, just a previously defeated Republican.
But I have to say he looked so craven begging the DNC to contribute money to him.
Trump: “The entire system is rigged”
Just wow.
No wonder these people were sooo adamant in their opposition to Trump.
They knew they would be exposed if he won.
And there's more than sufficient reason to ACCUSE them of outright collusion with the DNC to thwart the will of the Republican Electorate.
It's the filthiest sh!t in the history of American politics. Everyone involved must be exposed and expunged.
Notice there hasn't been a peep out of the Cruz camp on this matter? False accusations of death threats, seeking (probably receiving) funding for their opposition to the Trump nomination! OBVIOUSLY also colluding with the White House on the same subject.
Since it was within a few days of the Convention fight, and was not otherwise reported; At this point, what difference does it make?
Would you please create a separate thread on the Cruz email and plane pics, and put it on the front page?
Whites to the front, Blacks to the back.
Nothing ever changes with the DNC.
“maybe being black-mailed.”
What do you think the FBI has on his dad beyond the picture of him with Lee Harvey?
Percentage wise now, how many of the 5 reported women he had affairs with are documented by opposition research?
What other ties to other subversive activity are out there that made Ted “play ball”?
No, no emails.
One must communicate with BLM by jungle drum, or a note wrapped in $100 bills
RE “...That was over the top....”
Just a little, buddy... :^)
RE “...previously defeated Republican...”
That’s like calling a dwarf a “Vertically-Challenged Person”...
RE “...he looked so craven begging the DNC to contribute..”
SPot-on. That, right there, should disqualify him from EVER getting our support again.
Those are Democratic Party interns.
Not surprising, but glad to see it came out for everyone to see.
Sanders could ruin the bitch but has fell on his sword for her. Really sickening. He’s not a real democrat and if the bitch from hell wins the election Sanders will never see a committee chair. Not gonna happen. What a weasel of a man.
Where’s he begging the DNC to contribute?
It looks to me like the DNC just got ahold of his fundraising letter, at least third hand.
RE Got hold:
That could very well be the case as well.
More research required.
