That's fine, but again all I'm seeing is an article that takes accusations and assumes them to be true, and then paints internal memos discussing how to deal with the negative press that comes with accusations as proof of some kind of conspiracy. It also chooses, in any case where some facts remain unexplained, to assume the most nefarious intent possible.
"You were accused of this, so you must be guilty. Worse, you talked about how you were going to address this accusation. Only guilty people do that!"
I'm not saying the DNC is perfect and that no one nowhere ever did anything wrong during this campaign (I don't believe in making blanket assertions.) But what I have never seen, and still do not see, is any actions by people in the DNC (at least above the paygrade of maybe some low-level workers) doing anything during the campaign that made a difference - or having not been done could have led to a Sanders victory. And what I certainly have not seen is any involvement by Clinton herself in any kind of shenanigans.
(And I'm getting frustrated at the constant stream of these types of articles which are, ostensibly, attempts to last-minute oust her and somehow get Sanders in, since it's honestly too late for that, are statements of tacit approval for Trump. And I'm loving the "if you support Clinton, this probably doesn't matter to you" as if anyone who supports Clinton cares nothing for ethics or morality. Thanks, Rolling Stone, for your ringing endorsement of the majority of the Democratic Party.)
