The hacked / released personal Democrat e-mails exposed the fact that Democrats 'rigged' the 2016 Primaries....
You snowflakes can have and express all the OPINIONS you want, but FACTS are FACTS. OPINIONS don't change FACTS.
FACTS are FACTS however your opinion is not fact. What you are packing is lies.
"The hackers have been
dribbling out material for a month. But the WikiLeaks dump on Friday was different. It was massiveāover 20,000 emails and thousands of attachments, including
social security, passport, and credit card numbers of Democratic donors. And Wikileaks didnāt just haphazardly dump the information: It used its Twitter account to highlight emails that supposedly exposed a corrupt effort by the DNC to secure the presidential nomination for Clinton.
This is, to put it lightly, an exaggeration. Sure, thereās an email by a finance staffer ineptly trying to play communications staffer. But his suggestion that the DNC attack Sanders over his religion, or lack thereof, died without anyone acting on it.
Other emails highlighted by Wikileaks as evidence of corruption in fact show staffers getting guidance from attorneys on how to comply with campaign finance laws and spitballing ways to respond to attacks from Sanders on the integrity of the nomination process. A look at the āinner workings of the partyās financial operation,ā
The Washington Post said, reveals that āflattery, cajoling, and favor-bestowing [go] into winning rich supporters.ā The same could be said of almost any political operation in this country.
Wikileaksās tweets conjured
dark and
menacing conspiracies, but these are not borne out by the emails themselves. Take the groupās
claim that the āDNC knew of Hillary paid troll factory attacking Sanders online.ā The
highlighted email isnāt some secret communication laying out nefarious plots. Itās a summary of a
panel discussion on Fox News Sunday.
But forget the emails for a second. The main problem with the notion that the DNC rigged the results for Clinton is that it requires one to assume the improbable. The DNC had no role or authority in primary contests, which are run by state governments. Clinton dominated the primaries. The DNC, through state parties, had a bit more influence over caucuses ⦠where Sanders dominated Clinton.
None of the thousands of leaked emails and documents show the DNC significantly influencing the results of the nomination. Furthermore, if it is true that last fall Clinton campaign chair John Podesta
tried but failed to have DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz sacked, the underlying premise of the entire WikiLeaks dumpāthat Wasserman Schultz machinated to deliver Clinton the nominationāis hard to believe.
The main direct consequences of the WikiLeaks dump have been the resignation of Wasserman Schultzāwhich will probably relieve the Clinton team as much as satisfy Sanders supportersāand
tut-tutting from the press, which sees something nefarious in the DNC strategizing how to get favorable press or grousing about a campaign accusing it of corruption.
The more serious problem is the divisive impact the dump has had on a party that is in the midst of trying to unite the Sanders and Clinton constituencies. Sanders and his allies have reiterated unambiguous support for Clinton, affirmed their belief in the integrity of the process, and stressed the urgency of a unified front against Donald Trump. Unfortunately, that is not enough for some Sanders supporters, who have taken to
booing their own leader. "
Clearly this was a attempt by Russia to influence the election. They pointed to exactly the interpretation they wanted to divide Clinton and sore Sanders losers.
No, the DNC Didnāt Rig the Primary in Favor of Hillary
