Leaked Emails Expose DNC Scheming With Media for Hillary Against Bernie

At least one email explored the possibility of using Bernie Sanders' religious beliefs against him.

Over the weekend Wikileaks released nearly 20,000 hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee (DNC), emails showing Democratic politicos using corrupt tactics to get what they want, and the mainstream media colluding with the DNC by allowing Democratic party officials to approve stories and control the narrative.

The leaked emails also show how far the DNC power structure has been willing to go to sabotage Bernie Sanders and promote Hillary Clinton, sending moles into his campaign, getting advice from a Clinton lawyer on how to respond to Bernie when he went on the offensive, developing a narrative to deploy in explaining Bernie’s campaign failure, and even suggesting that they should use Sanders’ religious beliefs against him.

The release of the leaked documents days before the Democratic Convention has forced DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz to step down from her position. Sanders called for Schultz’s resignation once the emails were leaked, confirming his longstanding accusation that the party favored Clinton and actively worked against his campaign.

Sanders said Wasserman Schultz did the right thing by resigning. “The party leadership must also always remain impartial in the presidential nominating process, something which did not occur in the 2016 race,” he said.

Sanders is set to speak at the Democratic Convention later this week.
