More DNC Purges Following Email Hack

 

Via the WSJ:

WASHINGTON—Three more top Democratic National Committee officials plan to leave the organization, including the chief executive and the finance head, as fallout from an email-hacking scandal further shook the party’s leadership ranks. CEO Amy Dacey, communications director Luis Miranda and Chief Financial Officer Brad Marshall will be leaving the DNC, the committee said Tuesday. Their departures follow on the heels of Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who resigned last month after hacked emails that appeared to show staffers at the DNC conspiring against Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the late days of his Democratic primary race against Hillary Clinton.

The departures come at a critical moment as the party gears up for the general election. DNC officials said Tuesday they are prepared for the release of additional internal emails, based on pronouncements by WikiLeaks, the website that posted the first emails, that it hasn’t yet made public all the DNC emails in its possession.

    I think you mean DNC purges.

    DNA purges is a little too 21st Century for a party beholden to a 19th Century economic philosophy/religion.

    DNA purges are fun, though. Did you know that there’s tons of the stuff… in every one of your cells? ;)

    Purge of the CEO, CFO, and Chairman … who directed the efforts of the entire organization. In other words the “rogue inividuals in Cincinnati” defense will not work here. The organization is corrupt through and through.

    Yeah, like the media will use that logic. We all know it will be blamed on some poor IT schmuck.

    So apparently to keep your job you must work directly for Hillary, not just the cause of Hillary.  Just trying to clearly articulate the rules.

    If so,and they put said IT schmuck in prison,will he share a cell with the guy who made the youtube video that supposedly caused the “spontaneous” demonstrations at the U.S. embassy in Benghazi?

    Noteworthy that those three are the ones involved in that whole “expose Bernie as an Atheist instead of a Jew” email thread.  Would they still be out if that part didn’t get headlines?
