DNC Chairperson’s Resignation Comes during E-Mail Exposure

U.S Congress member from Florida constituency Debbie Wasserman Schultz declared on July 24, 2016 that she will no longer chair the Democratic National Committee (DNC), after the Democratic Party's convention scheduled to start in Philadelphia on July 25.

Schultz was experiencing too much pressure that important members of the Democratic party exerted when numerous e-mails got leaked on July 22 because they revealed confidential matters such as DNC officials were being partial towards Hillary Clinton's candidature instead of Bernie Sanders' for the current year's primary contest within the Party.

The leaked e-mails exchanged among officials of the Democratic Party contained plentiful private information of important members not suitable for non-party members' knowledge. The leakage therefore severely shatters the party's unity that members uphold and also a message the party intends to carry ahead of its convention.

The source of the leak was WikiLeaks website, which published over 19,000 e-mails that DNC officials exchanged from early-2015 to middle of 2016. A few of these e-mails contained discussion among DNC officials of how they could destabilize Sander's campaign. Wsj.com posted this, July 24, 2016.

Schultz's declaration led to the supporters of Sanders rejoicing when a demonstration was getting held inside Philadelphia where Republican Party members, including Donald Trump bragged their own party's consolidated status against the Democratic Party's confused situation.

WikiLeaks didn't mention the source or person who provided the e-mails. However, according to people knowing regarding the hack, in June 2015, computer-attackers, who had hacked into the PC-network of DNC, belonged to Russia. During that time, Schultz had described the hack as one serious happening for which somebody in private was paid to fast sanitize the organization's PCs and thrust the intruders out for securing the network.

The e-mails further contained messages to and fro DNC officers and event-planning people of White House regarding if many top-ranking donors to the Democratic Party should be let to be during the events which President Barack Obama along with wife Michelle Obama would be gracing with their presence. There were lengthy discussions inside the e-mails regarding the background of the party donors, with some having criminal histories.
