Russian Hackers did this

Leaked Emails Suggest DNC Was Conspiring Against Bernie Sanders
I would like you all to think about the timing of all this basically one or two days before the Democratic Convention. I would like you to tie this to Trump's speech about not defending NATO members who haven't "Paid UP" as well. There is no coincidence in this I believe. So, now combine Trump becoming president because of this hacking with a Russian Attack on any nation not paid up as a NATO member and what do you get? You get Russia picking off nation after nation and returning it to the Russian Empire of old. Is Trump really in cahoots with Putin this deep?

Leaked Emails Suggest DNC Was Conspiring Against Bernie Sanders

Looks like Sanders supporters weren’t just being paranoid after all.

A new leak of internal emails from the Democratic National Committee appears to support the long-held suspicions of some Bernie Sanders supporters that the DNC was working against him.
WikiLeaks released the 19,252 emails Friday, which came from “seven key figures” in the DNC, including communications director Luis Miranda and national finance director Jordon Kaplan.
One email from May shows CFO Brad Marshall suggesting that they use religion against a certain possible atheist with a Jewish heritage:
From:MARSHALL@dnc.org To: MirandaL@dnc.org, PaustenbachM@dnc.org, DaceyA@dnc.org Date: 2016-05-05 03:31 Subject: No shit

It might may no difference, but for KY and WVA can we get someone to ask his belief. Does he believe in a God. He had skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage. I think I read he is an atheist. This could make several points difference with my peeps. My Southern Baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist.
The email doesn’t mention Sanders by name, and Marshall told The Intercept that he was likely referring to “a surrogate,” not the independent Vermont senator himself. He did not elaborate on who such a surrogate could be. (It’s also unclear how this referring to a “surrogate” would make it a less questionable tactic. )
Another email shows national press secretary Mark Paustenpach suggesting an anti-Bernie “narrative” for a story.
“Wondering if there’s a good Bernie narrative for a story, which is that Bernie never ever had his act together, that his campaign was a mess,” Paustenpach wrote in a May email to Luis Miranda. He lists several examples of such “messiness” and concludes by saying, “It’s not a DNC conspiracy, it’s because they never had their act together.”
While the WikiLeaks database is searchable, Heavy.com has compiled a comprehensive list of some other intriguing emails about the DNC’s treatment of Sanders, including committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz writing that it’s “silly” to speculate about Sanders ever being president and Kaplan referring to him as obnoxious.
In an ironic twist, one leaked email revals deputy communications director Eric Walker mocking Buzzfeed for writing that the DNC had bad cybersecurity.
