I'm at work so, and I'll get the rest later tonight (Twitter won't load for me now anyway): https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/3023 https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/3023 https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/4776 https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/4776 https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/10808 https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/10808 wow, what the heck, I'll get more later but a lot of sites just aren't loading [edit: guess its not just me https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12762397 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12762397 ]

  This pretty much just shows that some people in the DNC were kinda biased and played politics. It's literally their job to do what they think is best for the party and that seems to be what they are doing (whether I agree with them is a different matter but currently besides the point).

    I'm pretty sure a Bernie Sanders supporter would say this goes way beyond that. Leaking plans from one candidate to another is beyond best for the party.

      That's a fair assessment, my current thought is that it was a crappy thing to do but is essentially what the party infrastructure is supposed to do (I supported Sanders by the way). What it really drives home to me is that I wish that there was a setup that allowed more than 2 parties so if they started supporting candidates I didn't like I could just switch to a party that isn't just the exact opposite of the one I am already in. It seems to me that the winner take all nature of the current system necessitates consolidation of parties.

      IDK, as a bernie voter in the primary, I don't see this as surprising or problematic, at least not if I'm reading these correctly.

        Ok, nothing will shock you then. If you don't believe the head of the party giving insider information from people who were supposed to be working for Sen. Sanders campaign feeding his opponent doesn't cause you fits, then all is fair game. anyway search #PodestaEmails14 on twitter for the rest

  That third email looks like they were asking the DNC for comment on a planned article, which is a standard reporting practice. Edit: researched more, and while asking for comment is standard practice, sharing a full article pre-edit is not.
