I suspect they want to tone down the rhetoric to dampen the resistance by Berners. It's consistent JudyM May 2016 #9

OIG report opened them still wider.

Now we have lots of paid operatives online trying their very best to spin the problems away.

But they are getting dizzy, too much spinning.

Two Democratic leaders. Do they know something about Hillary's emails that we don't?

I can't put my finger on it. I thought it might be just a 'let's be nice to Bernie so he won't be mean to Hillary and lets unite the party' but it seems more than that. Even most of the media are changing their tune slightly.

There has definitely been a shift.

with getting DWS out of the saddle, and giving Convention concessions to Bernie, too. Fewer Berners riled up about injustices=> more party unity and less fighting for the superdels to switch.

when the IG report got leaked to some of them. What you sensed was the press backpedaling their "everyone loves a winner!" backing of Hillary when they read the report and realized what a steaming hot cauldron of shit she and her closest aids were about to get caught sitting in.

Very astute of you, Rosa (and the others)!
