So the evidence that those DNC e-mail hacks were the work of the Russians seems to be insurmountable at this point.

If you still have any doubts about this take a look at this post from a technology site which goes into great deal concerning the evidence.

So taking all of that into consideration it now appears that Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook was right all along.

Which also means that those who are suggesting that Wikileaks is going the dirty work for Vladimir Putin and helping Donald Trump's campaign, are also likely on to something as well.

You know I looked through those leaked DNC e-mails and I have to say that I think the media and Sanders supporters are  really exaggerating what's contained in them.

The e-mails that are being used to smear the DNC and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz all happened in May, when most establishment Democrats knew the race was over and were looking for Sanders to drop out before he hurt Hillary's chances in the general. It is not at all surprising that they were becoming impatient with the fact that Bernie refused to read the writing on the wall.

Sure that whole pointing out that Sanders might be an Atheist thing was kind of ugly (Especially since they seem to have actually used it.) but in a political battlefield where you are worried that a primary challenger might hurt your party's eventual candidate in a general election, it is really not that hard to understand.

I would bet big money that if the Russians had hacked the RNC that there are plenty of e-mails going back and forth about how to stop Donald Trump.

So if these leaked e-mails DO actually end up hurting the Clinton campaign and the DNC, then I guess ole Vladimir Putin and his puppet Donald Trump will be thrilled with how easily the so-called Democrats are to manipulate.

    There are many, many ties to Russia

    "When it comes to the documents from the DNC server that were leaked, the fact that they came through Wikileaks is also a significant part of the story. That is because Julian Assange – the founder and director of Wikileaks – has demonstrated close ties to Putin and Russia as well.

    For example, in 2012, Assange was given his own talk show on Russia Today (RT) – which is described like this by Alessandra Stanley.

    RT, first known as Russia Today, is an English-language news network created by the Russian leader Vladimir V. Putin in 2005 to promote the Kremlin line abroad. (It also broadcasts in Spanish and Arabic.) It’s like the Voice of America, only with more money and a zesty anti-American slant."

    Any interest that Putin would have in a Trump presidency is not for ideological reasons but simply because the prestige and power of the US would crumple with Trump in charge. Also, a point I don't see made is that although the insiders may have considered Sanders' religion or lack of it a point to consider, they didn't act on it. It's one thing to consider something, and another to use it.

    " It is not at all surprising that they were becoming impatient with the fact that Bernie refused to read the writing on the wall."

    This is specious. The DNC charter requires the DNC to remain neutral in the primary. The primaries weren't over in May. Being neutral means the DNC doesn't get impatient with candidates let alone have any views one way or another about the "writing on the wall."

    These contortions to defend DNC execs with big fat salaries are silly. They fucked up. They violated their charter and they were dumb enough to put the proof of it in writing. They tarnished the DNC's reputation. Fuck 'em.

      It's hardly a surprise that the DNC was in favor of the candidate who has been a Democrat for decades and has given consistent support to other dem candidates. Sanders was an independent who became a Democrat just so he could use them to run for president.

      Still, they would have switched to him in droves if he'd shown he could get the majority of primary votes.

    There's a definite desire in Putin to aid Trump, but the Dems need to be careful so that Trump's people can't make them look like a paranoid joke with accusations that involve the Trump campaign.

    My main concern right this moment is Debbie Wasserman Schultz gaveling in the convention. I have long been a fan and appreciate all she's done over the years, but I just cannot believe what is going on today after the decisions that were made yesterday and after that Florida breakfast. As much as I like her, the only way I can really live with DWS up there is if she gets the crowd to be quiet and says something in acknowledgment and unifying before she uses that gavel or even hands it to someone else who's standing next to her. Of course, the Dem lineup is insanely great and tonight will be exciting and make the gavel moment so much smaller, and maybe some in the DNC feel DWS deserves to not be completely humiliated, but I wish she'd step up by stepping back.

    That said, it's still morning here in San Francisco and I've already been sickened a few times by some of the Bernie people there. (There's this one big-mouth young woman with long dark hair with nerdy bangs and big nerdy glasses who is constantly exuding this I'll-kick-your-ass attitude that is under no circumstances attractive and she insisted today that the only acceptable thing to her will be--as if it would ever happen--Tim Kaine were removed as the veep candidate and Bernie were made veep.) I've long been liberal and have lived in such places as Eugene, Oregon, and here in SF. My own more vocal rebel and hipster days are over and I contribute more quietly now and I remain very liberal. I get that young people finding their voices get loud and part of the plan is to disrupt. But there's a certain degree of protestation that gets hard to stomach. What I can't bear seeing is a certain kind of look-at-me-listen-to-me arrogance. Watching some of the Bernie people at the mic reminds me so much of suffering through egotistical open mic poetry nights where everyone thinks they have so much to say and they are such amazing poets and they go on and on and on talking at listeners and there is barely anything of actual poetry there. But they know it all and they think the world needs to hear them. Years later, those who have stayed serious about writing will look back and shake their heads and say who the hell did I think I was. They'll give themselves credit for showing some amount of courage but their former arrogance, and crappy so-called poetry, will embarrass them.

    There's a lot of pretzel-twisting going on trying to make a case that the manner in which the wrongdoing was exposed somehow diminishes the wrongdoing. It's silliness. The DNCers did wrong. DWS did wrong. How their misdeeds were exposed doesn't excuse the wrongness of their wrongdoing. If you learned the DNC had put their thumb on the scale in this same way, you Clintonites would be howling like howler monkeys.

    Help get out the voters folks - promote Hillary Clinton. She knows exactly what is, and has been going on, and IS the ONE we need to follow President Obama as POTUS. She has the experience and can step into the job the day she wins the election.

      Doesn't President Obama have control of that information being given to Donald Trump? I'll wager under the current circumstances (with Trump's Russian connections that I'm sure Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was aware when she served in that role) as well as President Obama and VP Biden!) no information will be supplied to Trump. He has too many 'bad' connections he could funnel it to - to the detriment of our country!

    You are all playing into their hands and missing the point.

    That these e-mails exist in the first place. That DWS and the Democratic leadership were NOT impartial and in fact did RIG THE PRIMARY in Hillary's favor.

    You don't see the corruption? Just because you like Hillary you have no problem that it is the Democratic Party that rigged the Democratic primary.

    The Russians didn't do it. They just stole the PROOF.

    Wikileaks didn't do it. They just EXPOSED it.

    People better get their shit together and identify the primary problem here.

    Cyber security and whistleblowers are the SECONDARY problem.

    The primary problem is the Democratic Leadership rigging a primary. If you are going to accept that, than why bother to vote at all? Your votes don't count for anything. And it won't matter who is elected president. They're both essentially the same.

      Plus, Bernie joined the Democratic party with zero invitation - he put himself there and has done nothing but cause trouble and divide. And, now he 'followers' are acting like idiots!

      Hillary Clinton will be POTUS and will be a good one to follow in the footsteps of President Obama! She's experienced, knowledgeable, calm, decisive and knows foreign affairs AND she is NOT a racist!

      Trump has none of those qualities and would be a disaster for our country if by any chance he became POTUS.

      He's declared himself to be a racist, would use nuclear warfare, is a proponent of war and wants more war, would increase taxes on the poor and middle class, decrease taxation on the wealthy, etc.

      Plus he'd rule as a dictator and quiet the press/media that dare say anything negative about him!

    More on his campaign manager, what a gem:

    On Paul Manafort's work in Ukraine ... "Paul Manafort‘s DC lobbying firm has taken so much money from so many despots, dictators, and human rights abusers ($900,000/yr from Ferdinand Marcos alone) that it’s been named as a top five firm in The Torturer’s Lobby(.pdf). He was paid $700,000 in an ISI operation (Pakistan’s Intelligence service) during the 90’s. And yes, Manafort was one of many political campaign advisors to deposed Ukrainian Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych from 2004–2010, and made at least $63,750 during a six-month period."

    Is RNC Chief Privy To Hacked DNC Emails?

    The head of the RNC, Reince Priebus was discussing the hacked DNC emails that have had a big impact on the beginning of the Democratic Convention in Philly today and was ask by MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell if he was worried that the Russians might very well have been the hackers and are trying to influence the election?

    He boasted that if the RNC was hacked, there wouldn't be anything there that would cause them any harm. OK, Reince. Release all of your emails and let's see.
    Sure, that will happen about as fast as Donald Trump releases his tax returns.
    And Priebus downplayed the whole Russia connection to the hacks of the DNC said that it wasn't the Russians who wrote the emails so- no harm no foul.

    He then followed up with a very curious prediction.

    Reince said, "I believe that here are more emails coming. I think this is just the beginning. I don't believe Wikileaks or these folks, whoever they are, simply released the emails all at once without more to come. I think there's more to come and I think they should be prepared for more excitement in the email world this week."

    Mitchell followed up,"Do you know something about it?"

    Priebus denied knowing anything, but speculated on the motives of people that "like to play games" and said usually more do follow.

    But not always, Reince. Not always.

    This is very odd to me. Republicans and the media are getting miles and miles of traction out of this story after the horrific sh*t show the RNC put on last week so why make this pronouncement at all unless you have an idea of what's to come?

    Don't you wonder if mother Russia is tipping off their boy, Comrade Trump?

    I know I'm having a little fun with this, but it still was an odd statement to make by the RNC chief.

    LA TIMES:
    Bernie Sanders supporters push to make sure he gets a roll-call vote

    Bernie Sanders volunteers fanned out across Philadelphia on Monday morning, collecting signatures to ensure the Vermont senator gets a roll call vote on the convention floor.

    They staked out hotel breakfasts, waiting to catch delegates as they finished their eggs or grabbed coffee. Some of the volunteers hope Sanders will find a way to bypass Hillary Clinton and become the Democratic nominee; others just want to ensure Sanders gets a prominent show of support.

    "I think this will help further the things that he's fighting for," said Frank Burns, 58, who lives nearby in Pennsylvania.

    He was making the rounds at a hotel near the airport where state delegations from New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont and Maine, all strongholds of Sanders support, were staying. The volunteers said they were asked by the Sanders campaign to collect signatures; whether there will be a roll-call vote has also been the subject of negotiations between Clinton and Sanders representatives.

    "... at the end of a losing campaign, you line up behind the person who won. That's just how things work."

    I KNOW THAT
    YOU KNOW THAT

    BUT BERNIE AND HIS
    RETARDS DON'T KNOW THAT

    Washington Post:
    Bernie Sanders started a political revolution. Now he can’t stop it.

    Bernie Sanders spoke to a large group of his supporters on Monday in Philadelphia. The crowd cheered as Sanders ran through all of the successes he and his self-professed "political revolution" had run up this year: the millions of votes he won, the reduction in superdelegates, the takeover of state parties by Sanders supporters.

    Then came time for the pivot. Sanders tried to tell the crowd that now was the time to line up behind Hillary Clinton and her running mate, Timothy M. Kaine. Boos cascaded down. Shouts of "no!" And then a Sanders chant started up.

    Sanders was at a loss. Here he was telling his most loyal supporters what needed to happen next in order to unify the party and beat Donald Trump. And they weren't listening. They wanted revolution. Now, not later.

    What was clear for anyone watching Sanders's unsuccessful attempts to calm the churning among his supporters is that the revolution he started is no longer one he can totally control. Or maybe even control at all.

    This is the nature of centering a presidential campaign — or any campaign, really — on the absolute necessity of radical political change. Sanders, who has been working within the political system — albeit it on the outskirts — for decades, gets that at the end of a losing campaign, you line up behind the person who won. That's just how things work.

    But for many of his supporters who took the time to attend the Democratic convention in Philadelphia, that's not enough. They campaigned for him, voted for him, gave money to him and now have come to Philadelphia for him. They aren't ready to give up — and don't think they have to. "Bernie or Bust" T-shirts are everywhere. One woman interviewed by MSNBC insisted that the only way the problems surrounding the Democratic National Committee's email leak scandal could be solved is if Kaine was removed as VP and Sanders was installed. (Breaking news: That isn't going to happen!)...
