Wasserman-Schultz said she would resign after it was revealed that staff members at the DNC criticized Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) presidential campaign.
Brazile, currently a vice chair at the DNC, will suspend her contract as a CNN contributor to take on the role as DNC chief.
Before the news broke on Sunday that Wasserman-Schultz would step down, Brazile criticized the leaked DNC emails during an appearance on ABC’s “This Week.”
“I went over yesterday to see the Sanders campaign, and I apologized. I think, the allegations, the e-mails, the insensitivity, the stupidity needs to be addressed,” she said.
Folks…this is serious stuff…we could end up with a Trump Presidency…weird especially since this
is supposedly a more progressive electorate
Why wait until after the convention? Everyone, including the outgoing chair, is dedicated to winning the election. The faster the change, the less opportunity for the GOP to plant a wedge that attracts Sanders supporters.
Anyone know why Brad Marshall remains in the DNC, considering he’s the one who wrote the email that has forced out DWS?
Here’s a deeper dive into the email hack itself
and some likelihoods as to how they made their way to Wikileaks–

The Russians aren’t stupid. Why would they make a traceable mistake?
One possible explanation is that Putin doesn’t give a fuck. He sees a chance of helping Trump getting elected, while without his help Trump will be toast.
