Thread: Released Emails Suggest the D.N.C. Derided the Sanders Campaign

-Top officials at the Democratic National Committee criticized and mocked Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont during the primary campaign, even though the organization publicly insisted that it was neutral in the race, according to committee emails made public on Friday by WikiLeaks.

WikiLeaks posted almost 20,000 emails sent or received by a handful of top committee officials and provided an online tool to search through them. While WikiLeaks did not reveal the source of the leak, the committee said last month that Russian hackers had penetrated its computer system.

Among the emails released on Friday were several embarrassing messages that suggest the committee's chairwoman, Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, and other officials favored Hillary Clinton over Mr. Sanders — a claim the senator made repeatedly during the primaries.

In one of the emails, dated May 21, Mark Paustenbach, a committee communications official, wrote to a colleague about the possibility of urging reporters to write that Mr. Sanders's campaign was "a mess" after a glitch on the committee's servers gave it access to Clinton voter data...

"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," Mr. Paustenbach wrote to Luis Miranda, the communications director for the committee.
Mr. Miranda wrote back: "True, but the Chair has been advised to not engage. So we'll have to leave it alone."

In another email exchange, Mr. Miranda asked Ms. Wasserman Schultz whether they should call CNN to complain about a segment the network aired in which Mr. Sanders said he would oust the chairwoman if he were elected.

"Do you all think it's worth highlighting for CNN that her term ends the day after the inauguration, when a new D.N.C. Chair is elected anyway?" Mr. Miranda asked. Ms. Wasserman Schultz responded by dismissing the senator's chances. "This is a silly story," she wrote. "He isn't going to be president."

The emails appear to bolster Mr. Sanders's claims that the committee, and in particular Ms. Wasserman Schultz, did not treat him fairly. His campaign accused the committee of scheduling debates on weekends so fewer people would see them...

I wonder how this will end up playing out now that Sanders has endorsed her.

oh goody..


I think Wasserman Schultz is a loser extraordinaire.. It's amazing she's kept her job. She must have major dirt on someone.

I wondered too...maybe Bernie will pull a Cruz and not endorse her at the convention after all.

Good, hopefully a boatload of sander's people won't vote and trump will get in.

Although, considering the RNC welcomed gays, sikhs, muzlims to the platform to speak... they may only be a slight step above the evil of the liberal party.

None the less, the repubs are the lesser of the two evils.

It's really kinda a none issue anyway as this nation and the entire world is now on the fast track to one world government / one world religion followed by the great tribulation.

I feel sorry for Christians caught up "living the American dream" and all fired up to "take this nation back for God"... sure, we want to bring revival to get some folk saved but this nation is not coming back considering what God says about the condition of man during the end times.

Those that think otherwise are naive and need to study endtimes as told by scripture.

American church history tells us that two great awakenings came at times when people were no better than today. Then we have an admonition from king Solomon :

Eccl 7:10 Do not say,
"Why were the former days better than these?"
For you do not inquire wisely concerning this.

Yes, and then there are the days we are in now where the world is currently heading in to one world government / one world religion followed by the great tribulation.

Jesus said the world will experience such bad times that has never been seen before, nor will ever be seen again!

Goin downhill at an accelerated speed now... gonna get darker, and darker, and still darker yet.

Soon those that are walking in the Holy Spirit living with sincerity in their relationship with the Lord... will be gone and all the other Christians will wonder what happened to them cause they gonna be left here.

Luke 21:36
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape
all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Rev 3:10
Because you have kept My Word of patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial which is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell upon the earth.

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz just resigned.

Bernie was fake opposition.

Nobody wanted it to look like a coronation.

BTW, Debbie ain't going to get hurt, she is already on Hillary's campaign team.
