WikiLeaks DNC emails megathread

[Ebsy]

Clinton of course never used that line of attack, so I don't really see what the point is.

So we all know this is the result of an illegal hack of the DNC by the Russians right? And Wikileaks is basically acting as their propogandist with pro-Putin news outlets fawning over how the primary was rigged. Also, as far as I have seen, not a single email shows any action taken by a staffer against Sanders, only that they didn't like him and were talking about ways for Clinton to defeat him. Notably, Clinton didn't appear to use any of these strategies.

Is this at all unusual? Campaigns/parties often get advanced copies of stories to review them for factual accuracy and to offer a statement.

And we now have a spreadsheet that suggests that there was a little pay-for-play going on between the DNC and their donors, peddling influence for appointments to federal boards and commissions.

Spreadsheet is attached to the Daily Caller story and redacted.

Donors are very regularly given positions on federal commissions. It will remain that way until Citizens United is overturned, something that if I remember correctly only one of the parties is aiming to do.
