>>The amusing part (for this disinterested bystander) was that they roared so loudly about the alleged russian connection in these leaks, loudly ignoring their content. As if having so much dirty laundry is OK, airing it is foul play.

That's the swamp for you. There's only one commandment- thou shalt not be caught- and its first amendment is that you never get in trouble unless you act guilty. For the most part, they're correct.

>>And, correct me if I misunderstood what I read (I read news at random, fast and diagonally), but didn't Elisabeth Warren just confess the other day that internal elections were rigged against Bernie?

That originally came from one of the leaks, but most recently Donna Brazile had a lot to say on the topic. She also described her concern at the sterility of HRC's campaign staff with no passion for HRC's policies or person and even considered replacing HRC as candidate after one of the collapses and after she discovered the deal to hand over management of the DNC to HRC stooges before she was the candidate. Cynics say that Bernie was mollified by a nice waterfront property, but whatever motivates his silence is no good for the DNC party that needs to look in the mirror for as long as it takes to stop blaming everybody else for what they see staring back at them.
