DWS understands what's at stake with this election. She doesn't want the convention to be about this story.

So far, no one can produce a single email that implicates DWS in anything. People who worked for the DNC wrote stupid things to each other, much like people who worked for the Sanders campaign stupidly stole data. Debbie fell on her sword to shut this nonsense down. And all the "principled" people cheered.

At least Rapey Julian is happy today. The person he destroyed it a woman AND a Jew. Doesn't get much better in his world than this.

Why does that in any way suggest that they were fake? It shows the DNC plotting strategy prior to the start of the primary season.

Anyhow, there are now hundreds of leaked e-mails showing collusion between the DNC, our national news media and the Clinton campaign. This is just one of many.

Iowa was the first caucus. Before the race really began. Why would this person be talking about that? Only focusing on Bernie supporters back then? Martin O'Malley was also in the race.

Why not talk about New Hampshire or any of the other races that were soon to follow Iowa?

The maturity of the writing style in this email also doesn't pass the smell test.

Can you explain why they wouldn't allow public observation of that process, which is so crucial to the ensuring of a fair election?

Both the Sanders and the Clinton campaigns are crying foul, but it may be the Clinton campaign that suffered the most. The areas where the most votes were lost was in Brooklyn—which she won with 60% of the vote, better than throughout the state as a whole.
