That is what I assumed also. Still these leaks are great. I can't wait for the next dump on DNC and anymore from Billary's illegal private server that was also hacked.

I'm only part way through right now... But from what I can tell, this is a good thing for Clinton.  She has almost as much $$$ as Trump, and therefore is not likely to be corrupted by big money. (That is Trump's reasoning, right?  Vote for me because I'm rich?)

When electing officials, we need to stop questioning how they get their money, and instead start focusing on how much they have.

I wonder where our Hillary troll, 136, has been.
Primary's over; the Clinton Cash For Trolls window is closed.  If he reappears after the DNC, you'll know.

Tell ya what.  Check what Trump had actually built and owned before he was 40.  Then check out HMH's "achievements"; being the "fixer" for her serial philanderer/professional coat-tailer rider. 

Don't you tire of being an ankle biter?

I hate to break it to you... My dislike of Trump does not actually make me a Hillary supporter.  I would probably stay home on election day if those were actually my only choices.

I guarantee that I could not vote Hillary in any circumstance.  I might be able to vote Trump only if I knew that his power would be limited by Democrats on the other levels of government...

Yes, I poke at Trump- mostly because there are too many of his supporters who are taking themselves far too seriously on this board.  If Hillary supporters outnumbered Trump supporters, I would be more vocal in my dislike of her.  For now, I'm going to say that Hillary is out Trumping Trump.

Oh lawd, apparently this whole thing was a CommieRussian plot;  erm, to influence elections in favor of Trump?

One thing in Trump's favor is that the press will scrutinize his every move, unlike what they do with Democrats.

Leaked DNC Emails Confirm Democrats Rigged Primary, Reveal Extensive Media Collusion
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-07-23/leaked-dnc-emails-confirm-democrats-rigged-primary-reveal-extensive-media-collusion

There are three key findings to emerge from yesterday's dump of leaked DNC emails released by Wikileaks:

There had been a plot designed to smear Bernie Sanders and to hand the Democratic nomination to Hillary on a silver platter
There has been repeated collusion between the DNC and the media
There has been questionable fundraising for both Hillary Clinton and the DNC
First, a quick recap for those who missed the original report, yesterday Wikileaks released over 19,000 emails and more than 8,000 attachments from the Democratic National Committee. This is what the whistleblower organization reported:

WikiLeaks releases 19,252 emails and 8,034 attachments from the top of the US Democratic National Committee -- part one of our new Hillary Leaks series. The leaks come from the accounts of seven key figures in the DNC: Communications Director Luis Miranda (10770 emails), National Finance Director Jordon Kaplan (3797 emails), Finance Chief of Staff Scott Comer (3095 emails), Finanace Director of Data & Strategic Initiatives Daniel Parrish (1472 emails), Finance Director Allen Zachary (1611 emails), Senior Advisor Andrew Wright (938 emails) and Northern California Finance Director Robert (Erik) Stowe (751 emails). The emails cover the period from January last year until 25 May this year.d
Subsequently, the Romanian hacker known as Guccifer 2.0 (who has denied he works with the Russian government), who has already released hundreds of hacked DNC emails previously, told The Hill he leaked the documents to Wikileaks.

An initial read of the thousands of emails in the data dump reveals top officials at the Democratic National Committee privately plotting to undermine Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign, confirming a long-running allegation by the Sanders campaign who has claimed that the DNC and Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz had tipped the scales in favor of Hillary Clinton during the party’s presidential primary. They also reveal instances of media collusion as well as various questionable instances of fundraising.

Plotting Against Bernie Sanders


In an email from early May, DNC CFO Brad Marshall wrote about a plot to question Sanders’s religion. While not naming the Vermont senator directly, it talks about a man of “Jewish heritage” Marshall believes to be an atheist. It makes reference to voters in Kentucky and West Virginia, two states that were holding upcoming primary elections.

“It might may no difference, but for KY and WVA can we get someone to ask his belief. Does he believe in a God. He had skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage. 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,” the email says.
“AMEN,” DNC Chief Executive Officer Amy K. Dacey replied.

Marshall did not respond to a request for comment. But he did tell The Intercept, which first noticed the email, “I do not recall this. I can say it would not have been Sanders. It would probably be about a surrogate."

* * *

In an email that concerned Sanders out-polling Clinton in Rhode Island, where the state reportedly only had a fraction of voting stations open, one staffer took a contemptuous tone of Sanders’ supporters,  speaking about them more as a nuisance than an arm of the party. “If she outperforms this polling, the Bernie camp will go nuts and allege misconduct,” the staffer writes, “They’ll probably complain regardless, actually.”

* *  *

Another email shows similar 'us and them' language being directed at Sanders supporters. “We have the Sanders folks admitting that they lost fair and square, not because we 'rigged' anything,” the email said. “Clinton likely to win the state convention with a slim margin and we'll send a release with final delegate numbers.”


* * *

An email titled 'Bernie narrative' sent by DNC National Press Secretary Mark Paustenbach to Miranda indicates that top officials in the party were trying to find an angle to disparage the Vermont senator in the media.

“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,” Paustenbach wrote in the May 21 message. “Specifically, [Debbie Wasserman Schultz] had to call Bernie directly in order to get the campaign to do things because they'd either ignored or forgotten to something critical.”
“It's not a DNC conspiracy, it's because they never had their act together,” Paustenbach suggested.

* * *

Wasserman Schultz seemed to have already counted Sanders out of the race in a May 21 email, when there were still nine primaries to go. “This is a silly story,” the chairwoman said. “He isn't going to be president.”

* * *

In another email, Paustenbach informed her that Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver said the candidate should continue to the convention, Wasserman Shultz said: “He is an ASS,” referring to Weaver. The chairwoman made her opinion clear about Sanders in an message concerning the candidate alleging that the party hadn’t been fair to him.

“Spoken like someone who has never been a member of the Democratic Party and has no understanding of what we do,” she said.

Collusion with Clinton and the media

A communication from late May laid out the pros and cons of DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz accepting an invitation to CBS’s 'Face the Nation', and indicated that the DNC was plotting its moves based on what would be amenable to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

“Clinton campaign is a mess, they’re afraid of their own shadow and didn’t like that we engaged,” DNC communications director Luis Miranda wrote. “But they’ll be unhappy regardless, so better to get out there and do some strong pivots and land good punches on Trump. They can’t tell us NOT to do TV right now, we shouldn’t pull ourselves out until they actually do.”

“It’s clear that Bernie messed up and that we’re on the right side of history,” Miranda wrote in another bullet point, referring to the Nevada convention.

“Let's take this offline,” Wasserman Schultz said in response. “I basically agree with you."

Wasserman Schultz and Miranda brainstormed ideas to attack Sanders’ position on the Israel/Palestine conflict with her communications team in one thread, with Wasserman Schultz saying that "the Israel stuff is disturbing” in reference to Sanders’ platform committee appointees attempts to include language denouncing the occupation of Palestinian territory in the Democratic platform.

The chairwoman says that the idea “HFA,” or Hillary For America, originally proposed the idea of using Israel/Palestine as “an ideal issue to marginalize Sanders on,” suggesting that the DNC were exchanging communications about anti-Sanders strategies with the Clinton campaign.

* * *

The DNC also made a secret “agreement” with Kenneth Vogel, an influential report for Politico. An email from late April with the subject line "per agreement... any thoughts appreciated" shows that Vogel sent an advanced copy of a story about Hillary Clinton’s fundraising to the DNC even before his editor even saw it.



“Vogel gave me his story ahead of time/before it goes to his editors as long as I didn't share it,” DNC press secretary Mark Paustenbach wrote to  Miranda. “Let me know if you see anything that's missing and I'll push back.”

The published version of the story did not appear to have any significant edits from and was not favorable to the Clinton campaign, but the sending of a full, advanced copy to the subject of a story is considered to be a violation of journalistic ethics.

A source with familiar with the interaction between Politico and the DNC told RT America that the message was sent to officials to ensure accuracy in the story, and that it would have been difficult to ask for piecemeal clarifications due to its complexity. The “agreement,” in fact, referred to the DNC promising not to pass the story to a more favorable news outlet who might publish before  Politco.

* * *

Another email released in the Friday leak indicates that the DNC was in close contact with news websites on articles related to the Democratic Party. A Real Clear Politics article said that Sanders supporters were causing a lack of unity at the Nevada Democratic Convention.

“This headline needs to be changed,”  Wasserman Schultz wrote to Miranda.

“We need to push back... Patrice, what happened, DNC had nothing to do with this, right?” Miranda replied, referring to DNC Director of Party Affairs Patrice Taylor. Taylor responded saying that the article should be changed the event was run by the state party and the disorder “sounds like internal issues amount [sic] Sanders supporters.”

“Walter, please connect with Stewart and get him to push back,” Miranda wrote. The last email on the thread says: “Done. Article has been updated.”

* * *

Further evidence of the DNC's extensive "content control" over mass media was revealed when Wasserman Schultz sent an email to NBC anchor Chuck Todd with the subject line "Chuck, this must stop," and set up a time for the two to talk about MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski calling on Wasserman Schultz to step down

#3) As a man was standing on the gallows, his executioner asked if he had any last words.

"Yes," the man replied "I hate Masons."

The executioner was surprised by this and asked "Why do you hate Masons? They do much good in our world."

The condemned man said, not hiding his anger, "They are killing me. The man who turned me in is a Mason; the cop that arrested me is a Mason; the prosecuting attorney that tried me is a Mason' the jury that convicted me were all Masons; and the judge that sentenced me to hang is a Mason.

That is why I hate Masons!"

"I see." said the executioner. "Are you ready to proceed?"

"Yes." said the man with sadness in his voice.

"O.K. Then you will advance one regular step with the left foot...."

Waving off the clerics who had come to administer last rites, Voltaire said: “All my life I have ever made but one prayer to God, a very short one: ‘O Lord, make my enemies look ridiculous.’ And God granted it.”

The tale of the thieved emails at the Democratic National Committee is just too good to be true.

I seem to recall reading a little about their rituals.  I know the grand master at a lodge who was offered to be top guy in a province.  I was curious what they did to get initiated but didn't really want to ask him (I get the feeling that they are always looking for new members and showing too much interest would be like inviting a Mormon missionary into your house...)

Unless I am mistaken, leading off with the left foot is pretty much the "first step" towards becoming a mason after some strange ritual of entering. (pardon the pun.)

***I would never be a good mason as I have no real memory and pretty much everything seems to be memorization of lines, verses, ceremonies...

WIKILEAKS Releases 20,000 Hacked DNC Emails…

The news about the DNC emails just gets better and better. A few things we are seeing so far:

1) Ted Cruz asked the DNC for MONEY to help fund his delegate fight inCleveland.(specifically: Eric Bennett to and from Ken Cuccinelli, R-Virginiaworking with Ted Cruz and the DNC to undermine the delegate selection before the convention. Working to push through rules changes in the rules committee and working to flip bound delegates against the rules and state law. All co-ordinated with the DNC.)

Sorry, but wrong.  That was a generic campaign email that was sent to Bennett's gmail account that he forwarded on to the comms email.  Not personal contact.

Whenever MSNBC people mention the leaks, they show an image of Putin on split-screen.  They're vying with CNN to become the Clinton Ministry of Patriotic Information.

I would understand the Putin angle, IF--the Russians had doctored the emails. Otherwise, it's pointless to complain about how you were exposed.

PS: The Dems were allegedly warned by the FBI months ago.

Kremlin War Erupts Over Release Of Top Secret Hillary Clinton Emails

QuoteAccording to this report, beginning in 2011, SVR intelligence analysts began “serious/concerning” monitoring of a Romanian computer hacker named Marcel Lazăr Lehel (aka Guccifer) after he attempted, unsuccessfully, to break into the computer system of the Federation funded RT television network.

Following SVR procedures for the monitoring of international computer hackers, this report continues, Guccifer’s activities were followed and recorded (both physically and electronically) allowing these intelligence analysts, in 2013, to not only detect his breaking into the private computer of Secretary Clinton, but allowing the SVR to copy all of its contents too.

Ye were warned.

This is what I appreciate about Bellgab- members will provide more information to confirm or dispute the articles we post.

I remember a time when people regularly 'split their tickets' and voted for candidates of both parties because they represented similar demographic groups and issues that people cared about. Not like today with the sharp divisions and animosity that has divided us.

I did look at the link provided and have to ask if it's common for a subordinate of a candidate to solicit money from the opposition party? I was surprised at the initial story I posted and remain so after seeing the additional linked letter provided by HedgehogNorman- interesting user name BTW- is there a story to that?  :)
