DWS will not appear on stage at our convention, per MSNBC.

Regardless of how the investigation into the email leaks works out, this is the correct move, imho. Her leadership is severely compromised and we do NOT need this kind of distraction.

Oh, and btw, why does anybody still think emails can't be hacked/recovered???

Is what the Russians got off the Clinton server and what Putin is saving those emails for?

You think they have special respect for Hillary and her unsecured servers? If Russia hacked DNC computers to help Trump it only stands to reason they hacked Clinton's personal unsecured server(s). Why would there be no concern that Russia is sitting on shit to use against a Clinton administration?

If Russia is indeed sitting on hacked Clinton server info, then a Clinton admin is ripe for blackmail.

However, pointing out that the Russians may have info on the Clintons that can be used against them- and that people should think about that is not a conspiracy theory. But good try attempting to shut me down with that. I guess it was easier for you than answering my question?

There is no indication anyone hacked - or cared to hack - Hillary's everyday email.

There is no indication from anyone that her emails contain anything at all anyone would have any interest in, including so-called "classified" emails Comey whined about.

Republicans will never give this up - ever.

Why should you, I guess?

We have no indication or record that Hillary's private server was hacked, or that there was anything remotely interesting to reveal.

"Maybe" is meaningless.

So why didn't Sander's campaign leak the e-mails months ago. Instead they gave them to the Russians to leak? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?

which I consider more important - who is responsible for the hack - and why only the dnc...?

Moving on - as Bernie said, we are here to elect Hillary and prevent the drumpf from even getting near the WH..

- I do hope the NSA is smart when they review NS with him.....I read the Prez has some say in the matter...????

be well all - stay cool....

by leaking these emails right before the convention so Faux and CNN can endlessly repeat the Trump talking points that Hillary is a crook, the system is rigged, she didn't really win, etc -- it is fucking sickening. I am sorry but wikileaks SUCKS for doing this and fuck their blatant support for Trump.

And I think the DNC has done the correct thing. This just cannot become a distraction for our candidates' roll-out.
