As Democrats' convention nears, hacked DNC emails are posted online By Tom Hamburger and Karen Tumulty
The Washington Post


As Hillary Clinton prepares to accept her party's nomination for president, the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks has released nearly 20,000 hacked emails that offer an embarrassing look inside the workings of the Democratic Party as it prepares for its convention in Philadelphia.


Some of the emails from the Democratic National Committee include discussions about how to undermine Clinton's chief rival for the presidential nomination, Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders; details of perks provided to party donors attending the convention; and email exchanges among party officials, journalists and others.


...


The introduction continues, "The leaks come from the accounts of seven key figures in the DNC," which include "Communications Director Luis Miranda (10770 emails), National Finance Director Jordon Kaplan (3797 emails), Finance Chief of Staff Scott Comer ..." and others. The newly released emails cover the period from January 2015 through May 25, 2016.


Friday's document dump follows a report last month by The Washington Post that Russian government hackers had penetrated the computer network of the Democratic National Committee, gaining access to an entire database of opposition research, among other material. At the time, DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said the breach was a "serious incident" and a private contractor hired to sweep the organization's network had "moved as quickly as possible to kick out the intruders and secure our network."


Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver said Saturday that the emails show "what many of us have known for some time, that there were certainly people at the DNC who were actively helping the Clinton effort and trying to hurt Bernie Sanders' campaign."


I think I read he is an atheist. This could make several points difference with my peeps. My Southern Baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist.


— marshall@dnc.org to DNC communications director Luis Miranda
DNC and Clinton campaign officials did not respond to requests for comment Friday as reporters and unnerved campaign staff tried to assess the damage caused by the release, which comes just as the party holds a nominating convention in Philadelphia designed to project unity after a bitter primary season. Some of the emails could open some old wounds and impede that process. The hashtag #DNCLeak was being used Saturday morning to discuss the documents on social media.


One email written May 5 to Miranda from another party official suggests that the party could help Clinton by raising questions about Sanders' faith. The email seems to indicate a clear preference among DNC officials for a Clinton primary win.

She "should not be chair of the DNC, and I think these emails reiterate that reason why she should not be chair," the Vermont senator said on ABC's "This Week." "I think she should resign, period, and I think we need a new chair that's going to lead us in a new direction."

Emails leaked by WikiLeaks Friday showed DNC officials privately planned how to undermine Sanders's presidential campaign.

In one May 21 email (http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/288900-leaked-dnc-emails-reveal-secret-plans-to-take-on-sanders), DNC press secretary Mark Paustenbach wrote to communications director Luis Miranda about planting a narrative to the media that Sanders’s “campaign was a mess.”

I thought Sanders said people were tired of hearing about Hillary's emails. :)

HILLARY’S CAMPAIGN MANAGER CLAIMS RUSSIANS HACKED DNC COMPUTERS TO HELP TRUMP: (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/clinton-aide-claims-russians-hacked-dnc-to-help-trump/article/2597498) Note Robby Mook neglects to name the “some experts” who tell him helping Trump was what motivated Russian hackers. He does yoke Trump to Vladimir Putin. But Hillary’s the one who re-set relations, didn’t she, Robby?


Seems Robby Mook has determined Russian motives but for Jim Comey and the FBI Hillary’s motives remained opaque. Poor security may have permitted the DNC hack, Robby — like, gross negligence. Will you overlook your staff’s gross communication security negligence as blithely as Jim Comey ignored Hillary’s criminal negligence? (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/clinton-aide-claims-russians-hacked-dnc-to-help-trump/article/2597498) Think about it. Mook’s smear of Trump all but admits motivated American enemies hacked Hillary’s server (http://observer.com/2016/07/loose-lips-sink-ships-clintons-criminal-negligence-hurts-more-than-the-election/) and obtained classified information.

Wasserman Schultz ousted from convention role amid email leak

PHILADELPHIA – Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been ousted from her convention role, Fox News confirmed Sunday, after leaked emails indicating an anti-Bernie Sanders bias in her operation inflamed the left flank of the party.

Fox News has learned she will not preside over the convention set to start Monday, following pressure from the White House and Hillary Clinton campaign.

This comes amid reports that Wasserman Schultz also will have no speaking role at the convention.

The committee has not confirmed that publicly; however, her name is nowhere to be found on the list of speakers. And she was slated to make opening remarks at a rules committee meeting Saturday, but never showed up.

Now we just need Bernie to tell everyone to vote their conscience.
