(4,490 posts)Basically, in June Russian hackers were discovered to have hacked the DNC stealing all their Trump information and gaining access to all emails and chat traffic for a year. It's assumed that this comes from that hack. The Trump connection comes from Trump's ties to Russian mob and Putin, plus the timing of the leak just ahead of Clinton's VP nomination and convention.

(35,015 posts)She didn't do her job as promised by actively favoring one Democratic candidate over another. That's a no-no - you know it, and she owns it.
I am a Democrat because I believe what we stand for is rooted in caring for each other - we are better than Republicans. It's extremely disappointing when the chairwoman of MY party is exposed for doing something that shows a complete lack of integrity - just like a Republican.
Bottom line - I'm mad pissed there were emails to leak in the first place. You should be too if you care about the Democrat Party.

But in November it will be Hilllary vs the howler monkey. No amount of "cleaning up" between now and then will change that.

(3,545 posts)with our candidates using a terrorist fist bump like this in public. Why are they making Democratic Party secrets so public?

(34,845 posts)Now it's this. From whence comes this sick fascination to try and make the Democratic Party the equivalent of the GOP?
The lengths some will go to make everything seem so simple is truly amazing.

(375 posts)Not sure how the trump folks infiltrated the DNC emails. This is worst than watergate the fbi needs to get involved immediately with stopping the trump campaign from anymore dirty tricks.
Trump must have ties to Putin.
Wrong to publish internal emails

(32,875 posts)Only because it involves a foreign entity (and probably members of their government.) But, yeah. There are definitely aspects of Watergate present here, as well.
