This is a WHISTLE BLOWER situation.
First identify who is trying to persecute the whistleblower.
There, you've found the party that has committed untoward acts who is now trying to SILENCE THE WHISTLEBLOWER/CHANGE THE SUBJECT.
I was a Bernie supporter. A LOT of people were/are. Not at all happy with the DNC.
Having a whistleblower confirm our idea that the DNC was trying to hurt Bernie --
-- now I know how a parent feels when they finally solve the tragedy of a missing family member.
REALLY CATHARTIC.
And really depressing.
