Wasserman Schultz along with representatives Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Mario Diaz-Balart, Carlos Curbelo, Albio Sires, and Ted Deutch introduced a bill to extend the authority of U.S. President Barack Obama to sanction Maduro government officials for up to three years for alleged human rights violations. The release of hacked party emails revealed the Democratic National Committee had favored Clinton over Sanders in the primary, despite vows of neutrality.
“We’ve got to challenge the corporate power in the Democratic Party represented by Hillary Clinton today”, Solomon said.
“I believe the research that shows Russian state actors hacked into the DNC email servers and extracted the emails and other documents”, argued Leo Taddeo, chief security officer at Cryptzone, and former special agent in charge of the FBI’s NY cybercrime division. “And what further experts are saying, and again I refer you to the reporting on this, but further experts are saying is that then, because they possessed those e-mails, that Russian state actors were feeding the e-mail to hackers for the objective of helping Donald Trump”, said Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook during a news conference in Philadelphia on Monday. The correspondence, posted by WikiLeaks over the weekend, showed top officials at the supposedly neutral DNC favoring Clinton over Sanders in the presidential primaries.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz may have been at the center of the Democratic Party’s so-called civil war, but she now faces what the Miami Herald labels “the political battle of her lifetime”. She will remain in Philadelphia until Friday when she formally steps down as leader of the committee.
Sanders’ supporters in the Granite State have noted that Buckley vouched for the Vermont senator before the New Hampshire primary. Sanders sent urgent messages to supporters asking them not to protest. At last week’s Republican convention, Sen. He stunned the Clinton campaign with his broad support among young people and liberals, as well as his online fundraising prowess. “The important part now is that Democrats are unified behind the Clinton-Kaine ticket and that we work to defeat the divisive and risky Donald Trump”. “I wouldn’t, No. 1, for her own good, because it’s going to get messy when she gets up there”.
Bernie Sanders is thanking his delegates at a meeting before the Democratic National Convention, saying “make no mistake about it, we have made history”.
She added the delegates “are moving forward to elect” Clinton as president.
It’s clear there is a lot of disdain for Wasserman Schultz, even among her home state’s contingent.
