>Proves Primary Was Rigged

And of course, this is just a huge lie to bait people into clicking. The emails show a negative sentiment against Bernie from a few DNC staff members, and that's it.


Which is both unsurprising and not criminal. And, anyway, were we not a democracy during the years where parties simply picked their own nominee?

I'd argue that foreign entities selectively leaking hacked emails with the goal of tilting an election toward a favored candidate is a far more serious threat to democracy.


Moreover the hacker/leaker behind this disclosure is widely believed to be Russian state intelligence.

It's scary and sad to see Wikileaks become a credulous pawn in what appears to be an attempt to influence a democratic election.
