First some old business. The Hill notes Email controversy dogs Clinton to convention
Over half of Americans believe that the FBI should have recommended charges against Clinton — 58 percent — and disapproval wasn’t evenly split down party lines. Nine in 10 Republicans said she should have been charged, and 3 in 10 Democrats and 6 in 10 independents also believed the agency made the wrong decision.Why Can’t Hillary Stop Fudging the Truth? - Email-gate is only the latest instance in a 25-year habit of dissembling. Because the country can't stand the truth.
But whether the revelations from Comey’s statements changed many votes remains murky. According to a recent ABC News/Washington Post poll, 45 percent of Republicans say the FBI’s findings make no difference in their vote — likely meaning they would never have voted for Clinton anyway. A further 47 percent of voters says it makes them less likely to support her.
Among Democrats, only 1 in 10 said they were less likely to vote for her because of it. The rest said it either made no difference or strengthened their support for her.
But the issue caused a little more shift among independents. Although the majority of voters — 58 percent — said the issue won’t influence their choice, a full third said it made them less likely to support Clinton in November.
Now onto the DNC email leak, which are now boiling in the news. Leaked Emails Show DNC Officials Planned Anti-Trump Protests Does suggest mean the DNC encouraged and funded some the violent protests at Trump rallies. Does that make them conspirators in a violent crime? What would the press reaction be if the RNC pulled similar stunts at the DNC convention this week? On a lighter side, the DNC emails show casual racism as they refer to Hispanic outreach as "Taco Bowl Engagement". They also reveal extensive behind the scenes collusion with prominent journalists, but then, that was always obvious. 5 Biggest Scoops from the #DNCLeaks WikiLeak (with actual emails cited)
1) Chuck Todd of NBC is bossed around by DNC Chair Debra Wasserman.Instapundit shouts: HILLARY’S CAMPAIGN MANAGER CLAIMS RUSSIANS HACKED DNC COMPUTERS TO HELP TRUMP:
2) Hillary has to pay people to support her.
3) Protests that the media cover are not real. The “protesters” are a bunch of interns.
4) The Washington Post hosts joint fundraisers with the DNC.
5) The Democratic primary was rigged.
Note Robby Mook neglects to name the “some experts” who tell him helping Trump was what motivated Russian hackers. He does yoke Trump to Vladimir Putin. But Hillary’s the one who re-set relations, didn’t she, Robby? Seems Robby Mook has determined Russian motives but for Jim Comey and the FBI Hillary’s motives remained opaque. Poor security may have permitted the DNC hack, Robby — like, gross negligence. Will you overlook your staff’s gross communication security negligence as blithely as Jim Comey ignored Hillary’s criminal negligence? Think about it. Mook’s smear of Trump all but admits motivated American enemies hacked Hillary’s server and obtained classified information.
Really, the DNC shouldn't spend a lot of time publicizing the Russian governments ability to hack unprotected servers. It's not like the Clinton campaign doesn't have it's own links to the Russians.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, announced her decision to resign Sunday amid controversy over leaked emails that exposed the DNC's underhanded efforts to stifle Sen.

"As party chair, this week I will open and close the convention and I will address our delegates about the stakes involved in this election not only for Democrats, but for all Americans."
