WikiLeaks released 29 voicemails hacked from Democratic Party staffers on Wednesday evening, dropping the latest leaks in the middle of prime-time programming at the Democratic National Convention.

There is quite a bit of personal information, including names and personal phone numbers as well as a call from Gloria Allred (attorney?) to “Jordan” (Jordan Kaplan National Finance Director Democratic National Committee?) for their weekly call.
Democratic National Committee Chair, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida addresses a campaign rally for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and running mate Tim Kaine at Florida International University in Miami, Florida, July 23, 2016. The aide asks if there is going to be a St. Patrick’s Day reception at the White House.
One repeated caller voices her distrust of Bernie Sanders and Cornell West as well as what she saw as the DNC’s inability to handle the Senator from Vermont.
“I am furious about what you are doing for Bernie Sanders”, said one donor, who mentioned she donated $300 to the committee.
While most of the messages appeared to be inconsequential, others are likely to add to concern that the heart of the Democratic establishment was against Sanders’ throughout the process of deciding upon a candidate. He’s called President Obama a ‘niggerized president, ‘ and he said he’s a “Republican in blackface.’ Why does the DNC allow such trash to be on the platform committee?”

The voicemails are related to the batch of about 20,000 leaked emails WikiLeaks published earlier this week, which revealed that elements within the supposedly neutral DNC were in fact working to help Hillary Clinton secure the Democratic nomination. He said last week that more leaks are in the works to damage Clinton.
