Clinton’s strategists hope such statements will help drive security-conscious Republicans to the presumptive Democratic nominee; she already has gained endorsements from some of the party’s senior national security figures.

Wasserman Schultz’s abrupt departure was undoubtedly an effort to keep the Democrats’ gathering from devolving into the tumult that marred last week’s Republican National Convention.
She will not preside over the convention as its permanent chair. And they threatened to throw the convention itself – suddenly rattled by Trump’s polling bounce after last week’s Republican convention – deeper into disarray.
“She was never going to be the permanent chairman of the convention”, Frank said in an interview on Sunday.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s announcement that she would be stepping down as the committee’s chair.
They also ripped the scab off the barely healed wound of the bitter primary feud between Clinton and Sanders.
“I wouldn’t put anything past the Kremlin”, Schiff said, calling Trump “a dream candidate for Moscow” and describing the Russians as “very afraid of Hillary Clinton”.
“I think we need to let the Federal Bureau of Investigation do their work before we try to form any conclusions here in terms of what happened and what the motivation was behind it”, State Department spokesman John Kirby told reporters Monday.
Trump said in a Tweet Monday that reports of Russia releasing the emails because Russian President Vladimir Putin likes him is “the new joke in town”.
“Considering the calculated release of these emails and the fact that it was Russian state actors that had the emails, experts have been inferring it was the Russians who perpetrated this leak for the goal of helping Donald Trump and hurting Hillary Clinton”.
Then, in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Clinton’s campaign manager, Robby Mook, said that Russian Federation is helping Trump with these emails. “I don’t think it’s coincidental these emails were released on the eve of our convention here”.
While Sanders has publicly endorsed his former rival, many of his most fervent supporters have been organising protests in Philadelphia, with the largest expected today.
On Saturday, after a tense meeting of the party’s rules committee, supporters of Clinton and Sanders reached a compromise to curtail the role of “superdelegates” in the party’s nominating process.
He said Clinton had moved toward aspects of his agenda for helping the working class, including his positions on health care and free tuition at public colleges.
‘The new joke in town is that Russian Federation leaked the disastrous DNC e-mails, which should have never been written (stupid), because Putin likes me, ‘ Trump wrote as part of a series of Tweets. Would I have preferred to see somebody like an Elizabeth Warren selected by Secretary Clinton?
Asked about Kaine on CNN’s State of the Union, he added: “Are his political views different than mine? Yeah, they are. He’s more conservative than I am”. But even after Sanders urged his supporters to back Clinton, some were flashing thumbs-down signals and waving signs that said, “not Hillary, not Trump”. “If not, their BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS was a total waste of time”.
The Massachusetts senator speaks Monday night in an opening lineup that also includes first lady Michelle Obama, New Jersey Sen. He contrasted that with Trump, whose convention featured angry speeches, few solutions and a headliner whose lifetime cause, Mook said, has been his own personal self-aggrandizement.
The Clinton campaign says Russian Federation favors Trump’s views, especially on North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.
CNN’s Evan Perez reported on Monday that the suspected hack of the DNC computers was part of a much wider wave of Russian cyber attacks aimed at political organizations and academic think tanks in Washington, quoting USA officials briefed on the investigations.

Well, I think the DNC needs to look into this and take appropriate action and I’m sure that they will.
