NEWS BRIEF The Democratic National Committee’s email hack has claimed more victims.
US intelligence officials believe that the Russian government was behind the breach of the committee’s emails and documents, possibly as part of an effort to damage Clinton and sow discord in the Democratic Party.
Ms Dacey’s departure followed that of former party chair Debbie Wasserman Shultz, who resigned last week over the leaked emails. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., during a rally in Portsmouth, N.H., Tuesday, July 12, 2016, where Sanders endorsed her for president.
“It was very important that we had a convention that put the spotlight where it should be, not on who the DNC chair was but who Hillary Clinton is and making sure we could launch her”, Wasserman Schultz said.
Sanders spokeswoman Nina Turner, for example, had called on the DNC to “clean house”, and the committee appears to be doing so. With that goal in mind, she has reached out to Bernie Sanders and his supporters, reports The Wall Street Journal, including an upcoming meeting with Sanders’ campaign manager Jeff Weaver. Sanders campaign donors must be reimbursed by the DNC.
It’s not likely that the DNC role was decisive in Clinton winning the nomination, but the emails show that the party that likes to think it owns the moral high ground on issues is as phony as the other party when it comes to the sordid business of politics. She was right, shortly after that statement, Wasserman Schultz, who had organized a well-run convention was thrown under the bus only to be hired as a Hillary Clinton campaign “adviser”. Her first directive was to name Tom McMahon to head a transition team to help prepare the party for November.
In one particularly contentious email, Marshall seemed to suggest casting doubts about Sanders’ faith and painting him as an atheist to hurt his chances in rural states.
