Just a few hours after it was made
public that the controversial website
WikiLeaks
had
released in excess of 19,000 emails between members of the Democratic
National Committee, DNC Chairwoman
Debbie Wasserman Schultz
resigned her position with the party. As I'm sure you are well aware
by now, this email leak contained emails between Schultz and other
DNC members, discussing how they would undermine and eliminate
Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, guaranteeing that Hillary
Clinton would be the Democratic Nominee. This release of documents
comes just slightly more than two weeks after FBI Director
James Comey, after reciting
pages of felony-worthy infractions made by Clinton, stated that he
would not recommend an indictment against her.
Although not as widely-publicized,
Bernie Sanders and his supporters had already accused Schultz and the
DNC of showing preferential treatment toward Hillary Clinton. Among
other allegations, claiming the party limited the number of
sanctioned debates between Clinton and Sanders; knowing that Clinton
does not come across as a likable candidate of the people if she
speaks for more than 15 consecutive seconds. Both Sanders and Senate
Minority Leader Harry Reid, had previously asked that Schultz be
replaced due to her “obvious bias” against Sanders. These
requests however, were quickly dismissed. Interestingly enough,
Clinton and her team never had any issues with Schultz.
