Wikileaks released a series of voicemails Wednesday from the Democratic National Committee hack showing donors plying top-level officials for favors, and one donor expressing outrage that Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders had won a say in the drafting of the party's platform.
In one of the 29 voicemails released, a woman who donated $300 to Clinton called the party finance director Andrew Wright and said she was angry the party was acquiescing to Sanders by allowing liberal activist and prominent Sanders surrogate Cornel West to have one of 15 seats on the party's platform-writing panel.
"I'm furious about what you are doing for Bernie Sanders, he's getting way too much influence. I'm on a fixed income, I spent over $300, donated to Hillary, what I see is the DNC bending over backwards for Bernie and Bernie is the worst person in the world to even be running in the Democratic Party, because he's not a Democrat," said the unidentified woman in a voicemail that was sent to Wright's DNC email account.
In another voicemail, Bill Eacho, a longtime Democratic donor and former U.S. ambassador, inquired about the details of a "small dinner with President Obama."
The voicemails are related to the batch of about 20,000 leaked emails WikiLeaks published earlier this week, which revealed that elements within the supposedly neutral DNC were in fact working to help Hillary Clinton secure the Democratic nomination. Those emails ultimately led DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz announcing her resignation. But most of the released voicemails amount to innocuous messages from one person trying to reach someone else.
A few of the messages highlight the relationships between donors looking for favors and goodies, and the party officials trying to bring in money to their coffers.The owner of WikiLeaks Julian Assange told CNN in an interview that DNC officials were taking advantage of the possibility of Russia's involvement in the hack to distract voters from the contents of the emails, which have revealed shocking internal discord and collusion.
Speaking from the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where Assange has resided for five years now, he said:
"It raises questions about the natural instincts of Clinton that when confronted with a serious domestic political scandal, she tries to blame the Russians, blame the Chinese, et cetera. Because if she does that while in government, it could lead to problems."

cool post
I'm not even surprised. Hillary is just a pretender and a snake. I prefer donald to her. At least the man as honest so you know what you are expecting.
Hehehehe!
says, Genevieve.
With all these underhand and shady dealings already hanging around her, it's obvious if secretary Clinton eventually emerges the POTUS, she must need tread cautiously else hers may be another watergate scandal. The way Bernie got eventually sifted out of the primaries belied the very essence of democracy as the party's name goes. Clinton to me has got many issues like:personal e-mails saga, Benghazi attacks on US embassy and then this wikileaks. All these give the lie to her honesty and trustworthiness before American voters, though she's being portrayed as more experienced than the republican Trump who too has got some issues.
Disagree. Brashness is different from being honest. Donald is a crook. Let him be bold enough to release his tax records and see how dishonest the man has been
How sure are you that Trump is not in this election to loose it for Hillary?
The good thing is that Americans aren't fools; they aren't dumps; going through those mails I didn't see anything implicating; Cliton has never denied she is not a product of the establishment; she has benefited immensely from the establishment as a result of her sacrifices and dedication. secondly she is not a member of DNC and finally every DNC member has the right to support whoever they want; she never bribed her way through. Hillary was not part of the mail. If the establishment choose to favour her it's because of her sacrifice and loyalty. Somebody has to be favoured; dollars was not shared people!!!!
They all have some shady deals, now everyone of them is exposed, Americans have to choose wisely. This is politics in the real sense of it, hehehe! #EverythingUncovered
Whaoooo!!
Rubbish
Yes, Trump is honest about hating your black ass. Good Lord you are a fool. You are just as dumb as Trump. You're championing a proven racist, sexist, and misogynist. You preference hates your kind fool!
Politics is way too dirty. Linda take note!
Bernie is/was never a democrat to begin with.
So WikiLeaks don't have anything dirty again the Republicans as well?
she's a witch, a serious threat to the world and to pentecostals all over the world the devil her sponsor, is gearing up for world dominance , i pray for America at this times. #3rdworldwarimpending #abolishislam

AUNTY LINDA 👩
hehehe
-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
I stand with Hillary Clinton but as issues gets unfolding, one gets confused but pray, American makes the best decision because if not. America would collapse
Never cease to amaze me how we underrate a person we have known in public life for over 20 years and overrate another that has not held any position where he is accountable to the public. Have we even wondered what we will see under the microscope of the deals in the republican party to avoid Trump from getting their nomination. But why did wikileaks not release the info before the democratic convention. Why are people so anti establishment. Why so much loss of faith in governance.
