DWS resignation helps with that

This problem is a lot like rust on a ship. The very existence of the ship on an ocean attracts rust. It's always needing chipping away and repainting.

The DNC will always need to be on guard to ensure that it's goal of impartiality and even-handedness is closely approximated. Establishing a tradition of discipline that makes that happen is a long term project.

DWS will be an example, but there are other culpable people who must be identified and worked through a process that will determine if their future service to the DNC is salvageable.
