IS DWS DOA AT THE DNC?

Just how damaging is the Wikileaks dump of something like 20,000 Democrat National Committee emails?

Damaging enough for CNBC to report that Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who has chaired the DNC for years, is not going to be speaking at this week’s National Convention.

Excerpted from its just-released web site article:

The head of the Democratic National Committee will not speak at the party’s convention next week, a decision reached by party officials Saturday after emails surfaced that raised questions about the committee’s impartiality during the Democratic primary.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, whose stewardship of the DNC has been under fire through most of the presidential primary process, will not have a major speaking role in an effort “to keep the peace” in the party, a Democrat familiar with the decision said. The revelation comes following the release of nearly 20,000 emails
One email appears to show DNC staffers asking how they can reference Bernie Sanders’ faith to weaken him in the eyes of Southern voters. Another seems to depict an attorney advising the committee on how to defend Hillary Clinton against an accusation by the Sanders campaign of not living up to a joint fundraising agreement.
This is seen as a concession to Sanders, who has been furious at Wasserman Schultz for what he believed was favoritism to Clinton.
The Democrat familiar with the decision said it was done in hopes of preventing chaos on the convention floor among Sanders supporters.
The decision was blessed by Clinton and Sanders officials, this Democrat said.

Can anyone familiar with the dedication of Bernie’s Sandernistas, and their dislike, even hatred, of Hillary Clinton – who they see as a politically compromised puppet of Wall Street money-interests puppet Hillary Clinton – possibly believe this Debbie-dump is going to satisfy them?

The nature and content of those emails, and the fury it inherently must generate, will virtually guarantee exactly the chaos Democrats are hoping to prevent.

It will be more than a little interesting to see how mainstream media, which so desperately tried to paint the Republican convention as chaotic, will report such goings-on if/when they occur.

And that, of course, is before we get to what will be going on outside the convention hall, behind those walls the DNC has insisted be built to keep demonstrators/protesters out (obviously they don’t expect any of them to be Mexican, or the walls would never have been agreed to).

Oh, did I mention that Wikileaks is promising to release more such emails, and telling us that they are especially damaging to Ms. Clinton?

The convention starts tomorrow.  Fasten your seat belts.
