This is false, and your "correcting the record" is only spreading mistruths.

This e-mail in particular is clear discussion of acting on promoting a narrative (i.e. shopping it to news organizations) to discredit Bernie's campaign: https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/11056

I'm sure you'll find a way to explain that away though.

I feel like I'm just a curious bystander here - I haven't read much about the emails, nor looked at any of them individually until clicking on your link, so I really haven't formed an opinion on how noxious they are - but I don't see the smoking gun you seem to see in that email... Could you provide some more perspective on the issue, for those of us who are new to this debate?

The religion, "Bernie's campaign is disorganized" talking points, and Hillary Victory Fund e-mails are the most odious in my opinion.

This email is dated May 21, just 2 weeks before AP called the primary for Clinton. It was pretty clear by that point to everyone that Clinton would win the primary.

I'm not surprised to see DNC discussing narratives for the point when the primary is over.

This is no evidence that the primary was rigged.

Bernie had not conceded and the DNC still was obligated to be neutral. And yet, they were not.

So strange that they forgot to mention to shop this story around after the primary. How did you pick up on this intent of theirs without them saying it?
