While the information contained on the recorded voicemails appears to be more of the same that we saw during last week’s email hack, it does further implicate party leaders in colluding against Sanders to secure the democratic nomination for Hillary Clinton.
Fugitive WikLeaks founder Julian Assange speaks via Skype at the South By SouthWest Interactive festival in Austin, Texas, Saturday, March 8, 2014. “I spend over $300 donated to Hillary and what I see is the DNC bending over backwards for Bernie”.
The caller – speaking about Sanders – says “he’s not a Democrat”. The caller threatens to leave the party if the DNC doesn’t stop “coddling” to Sanders. “But to exclude certain actors is to make it easier to find out who our sources are”, Assange said.
Meanwhile, Russian officials have denied allegations that Russian-backed hackers were behind the hack.
Sadly, DNC leaks from Wikileaks included voicemail recordings between Democratic Party officials accepting big money from donors that, in turn, wanted political elbow-rubbing.

Assange appeared on CNN after the release of nearly 20,000 private DNC emails sparked the resignation of chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schulz, amid allegations she “rigged” the primaries for Clinton.
