'The Hillary Leaks' - Wikileaks Releases 19,252 Previously Unseen DNC Emails (zerohedge.com)

Reader schwit1 writes: The state department's release of Hillary emails may be over, but that of Wikileaks is just starting. Moments ago, Julian Assange's whistleblower organization released over 19,000 emails and more than 8,000 attachments from the Democratic National Committee. This is part one of their new Hillary Leaks series, Wikileaks said in press release.:"Today, Friday 22 July 2016 at 10:30am EDT, WikiLeaks releases 19,252 emails and 8,034 attachments from the top of the US Democratic National Committee -- part one of our new Hillary Leaks series. The leaks come from the accounts of seven key figures in the DNC: Communications Director Luis Miranda (10770 emails), National Finance Director Jordon Kaplan (3797 emails), Finance Chief of Staff Scott Comer (3095 emails), Finance Director of Data & Strategic Initiatives Daniel Parrish (1472 emails), Finance Director Allen Zachary (1611 emails), Senior Advisor Andrew Wright (938 emails) and Northern California Finance Director Robert (Erik) Stowe (751 emails). The emails cover the period from January last year until 25 May this year."
The emails released Friday cover a period from January 2015 to May 2016. They purportedly come from the accounts of seven key DNC staffers: Andrew Wright, Jordon Kaplan, Scott Comer, Luis Miranda, Robert Stowe, Daniel Parrish and Allen Zachary.

A quick scan of the emails focus on Bernie Sanders and dealing with the fallout of many Democrats opposing Hillary Clinton and calling the system "rigged." Many of the emails exchanged between top DNC officials are simply the text of news articles concerning how establishment democrats can "deal" with the insurgent left-winger.
Update: 07/22 17:41 GMT by M :Guccifer 2.0 has claimed responsibility for the leak.

    story explaining how she approved the sale of 20% of US uranium to Russia in return for massive bribes. Bribes she said she would not take while secretary of state, on a decision that she refused to recuse herself and department from because of the bribes, failed to disclose said bribes as she had promised before taking position, and failed to report them to the IRS meaning she had to amend her tax returns years later or be convicted of tax fraud (something you would have gone to jail for)

    Not sure why you are being ignorant. She also funneled $55 million to Laurite university and got Bill $16.5 million of that taxpayer money in the process. Wonder why Trump University left the news so quickly? Its because of that story that he brought up for them mentioning his possible problem, and they aborted all news to prevent their outright illegal activity from becoming too public.

    No, she is the most corrupt politician.

    Trump's a maniac and shouldn't be put in charge of an elevator, much less a country. That doesn't mean Hillary's anything other than business as usual from the most crooked city in America.

    Because if you look at who the emails are from, according to TFS, none are from Hillary. The headline is clickbait.

    Wow, you guys are really, really stupid. The NC case was about government-owned bathrooms. The government has every right to dictate who uses which bathroom in a government-owned facility. Go read the NC law itself, it's about government facilities, and is absolutely about the government telling people which bathroom they have to use. This is exactly the opposite of what you claim.

    Moron.

    Earned is a funny word to use for those who withhold resources from those who have none in order to extract labor from them. History suggests that they haven't "earned" anything except for what the public allows them to have. And when the public determines they haven't "earned" what they withhold, the public will take the resources back. History is your friend, it keeps one from making dumb statements like yours.

    You forget:

    1. Loves dictators, frequently praises them (including Saddam).
    2. Want's to change the 1st amendment to remove public criticism of public figures; under Trump it would be illegal to criticize him.
    3. Plan's to end all criticism of rights abuses by other nations. No longer will the US be there pointing out regimes that are torturing and murdering their people.
    4. Will refuse to come to the aid of our NATO members if they aren't spending enough on defense basically making the US a liar and untrustworthy.
    5. Believes all foreign diplomacy is based on money.

    To be honest, i wouldn't be surprised if Trump wants to rewrite the constitution to remove all freedoms and I fully believe he would send American soldiers to die because some foreign leader insulted him.

    Nice try Potsy.

    1. Clinton used a personal email server that was not authorized by the State Department and had she asked them (which she claimed but didn't) the State Department would have denied her.

    2. Clinton violated the Espionage Act by allowing classified information to end up on her personal email server through gross negligence.

    Based on the facts Clinton should be indicted.

    I'm not saying I expect to find any dangerous emails. I'm just saying it makes sense to check before leaking.
