Hillary Clinton pursued by U.S. intelligence agents

On the eve of the Democratic National Convention, WikiLeaks — the courageous international organization dedicated to governmental transparency — exposed hundreds of internal emails circulated among senior staff of the Democratic National Committee during the past 18 months.

At a time when Democratic Party officials were publicly professing neutrality during the party’s presidential primaries, the DNC’s internal emails showed a pattern of distinct bias toward the candidacy of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and a marked prejudice toward the candidacy of Sen. Bernie Sanders. Some of the emails were raw in their tone, and some could fairly be characterized as failing to respect Mr. Sanders’ Jewish heritage.

The revelation caused a public uproar during the weekend preceding the opening of the Democratic convention in Philadelphia last week, and it caused the DNC to ask its own chairwoman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, to resign. When she declined to do so, President Obama personally intervened and implored her to leave. She submitted to the president’s wishes, gave up her public role as chairman of the convention and eventually resigned as chairman of the DNC late last week.

All kinds of hit pieces on Assange this weekend. He addressed the Green Party this afternoon and the Hillary supporters are mad that he's being mean to her. Can't wait for another three months of this.
