It is common in political parties for the presidential candidate in a presidential election year to "install" their people within party leadership prior to the General Election.
It is also not uncommon, as we've seen, for leadership to resign after large hacks occur. The infiltration and subsequent resignation of corporate leadership after data leaks does not indicate that there was any corruption. It may indicate some level of incompetence, but not corruption.

If the party claimed that they are in-fact biased against Bernie, as the evidence mostly shows, then this would have been fine. However, if the party claimed it was neutral but yet secretly worked against Bernie then this seems to me like it is corruption. Or do you disagree?
- dctoedt 4y agoYou're playing Humpty Dumpty here: A word — here, "corruption" — supposedly means what you say it means. This reminds me of a libertarian colleague who shouts "bigotry!" whenever someone disagrees with his views.
