Revision as of 07:09, 30 July 2016
On Friday 22 July 2016 at 10:30am EDT, the whistleblowing website WikiLeaks published a collection of emails which allegedly show that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) was biased against the presidential campaign of Senator Bernie Sanders in favor of Hillary Clinton's campaign. The collection included 19,252 emails and 8,034 attachments from the DNC, the governing body of the United States' Democratic Party.[1] The leak includes emails from seven key DNC staff members, and date from January 2015 to May 2016.[2] WikiLeaks has not revealed its source.[3] A website claiming to be the creation of a hacker working alone and going by the handle "Guccifer 2.0" claims that Guccifer 2.0 was the source of the leaks, but experts find this claim doubtful. Several cybersecurity experts and firms such as CrowdStrike, Fidelis Cybersecurity, Mandiant, SecureWorks, ThreatConnect, and the editor for Ars Technica,[4] believe this was part of the Democratic National Committee cyber attacks by two Russian intelligence groups.[5][6][7][8][9][10] The Russian government has denied involvement and WikiLeaks describes the accusation as “a discredited conspiracy theory.”[11][12]
Soon after the leak, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairperson of the DNC, was pressured to resign her position in response to the event.[13] Shortly thereafter, she was given an honorary chair in the Hillary Clinton campaign's fifty-state strategy.[14]
On July 25, 2016, the FBI announced that it would investigate the hack.[15][16][17][18][19][20][21] The same day, the DNC issued a formal apology to Bernie Sanders and his supporters, stating, "On behalf of everyone at the DNC, we want to offer a deep and sincere apology to Senator Sanders, his supporters, and the entire Democratic Party for the inexcusable remarks made over email," and that the emails did not reflect the DNC's "steadfast commitment to neutrality during the nominating process."[22]
Contents
The leak revealed information about the DNC's interactions with the media, Hillary and Bernie Sanders' campaigns, and financial contributions. It also includes personal information about the donors of the Democratic Party, including credit card and social security numbers, which could facilitate identity theft.[23] In a tweet, whistleblowing website WikiLeaks stated that the release of this personal information was intentional in order to prove authenticity.[24]
Media
The emails include DNC staff's "off-the-record" correspondence with media people, including the reporters at CNN,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31] Politico, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post.[3] The leaked emails and attachments showed article draft-sharing, a practice which some consider unethical, between the DNC and some media outlets.[32][33] One email chain from May 2016 indicates that the website RealClearPolitics changed the headline of one of its articles after objections were raised by DNC officials, with Wasserman Schultz writing that the "headline needs to be changed."[34]
Bernie Sanders' campaign
The emails indicated that the DNC, which is required to maintain neutrality during the primaries, was biased against Bernie Sanders' campaign, and favored Hillary Clinton's campaign. A May 2016 email chain indicated that the DNC chief financial officer (CFO) Brad Marshall suggested to the DNC chief executive officer, Amy Dacy, that someone ask Sanders if he is an atheist and estimated the potential for damage that his answer could have on his electoral chances in more religiously conservative states.[35] In this email Marshall wrote: "It might (make) no difference, but for KY and WVA can we get someone to ask his belief. Does he believe in a God. He had skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage. I think I read he is an atheist. This could make several points difference with my peeps. My Southern Baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist."[36] In another email, Wasserman Schultz said of Bernie Sanders, "He isn't going to be president."[37]
Another email chain reveals that the DNC National Press Secretary Mark Paustenbach suggested propagating a negative narrative about the Sanders campaign: specifically, that Sanders "never ever had his act together, that his campaign was a mess."[36][38]
Debbie Wasserman Schultz's emails
The emails also contain messages showing Debbie Wasserman Schultz maligning Jeff Weaver, manager of Bernie Sanders's campaign, calling Weaver a "Damn liar," "an ASS," and "scummy."[39] The messages also allegedly show Wasserman Schultz asking DNC staff to use fundraising to acquire personal goods, such as asking DNC fundraiser Zachery Allen to acquire seven tickets for the Broadway show Hamilton! for Wasserman Schultz and her college roommates.[39][40]
In May, MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski called on Debbie Wasserman Schultz to step down over the DNC's bias against the Bernie Sanders campaign.[41] Schultz was upset at the negative coverage of her actions in the media, and she emailed Chuck Todd that such coverage of her "must stop".[42] Describing the coverage as the "LAST straw", she ordered the DNC's communications director to call MSNBC president Phil Griffin to demand an apology from Brzezinski.[43][44]
Financial information
An email dated April 20, 2016, by DNC National Finance Director Jordan Kaplan, appears to plan to reward a billionaire relative,[45] wealthy donors, and fundraisers with federal appointments on boards and commissions.[45][46][47][48][49] That email includes spreadsheet files which circulated among top DNC officials. It "contains 23 names of little-known corporate executives and professional fundraisers who have donated to the committee and various Democratic political action committees."[47][48] A Daily Caller article "implied that the documents and emails showed [Hillary] Clinton traded appointments for donations".[45][46] The Huffington Post adds that "The White House strongly denied any link between financial support for the party and appointments."[48]
Emails also display DNC officials attempting to hide details of joint fundraising with the Clinton campaign. The Clinton campaign received criticism from the Sanders campaign, campaign finance watchdogs, and journalists for hosting elaborate events, such as a dinner with George Clooney and concerts with Elton John and Katy Perry, that required contributions of thousands of dollars to attend. The Clinton campaign and the DNC maintained that these events were part of a joint fundraising attempt between the Clinton campaign and the DNC that would benefit state parties and downticket elections. Leaked emails show, however, that less than half of one percent of the money raised went to state parties and downticket elections. Emails also show DNC officials coaching staffers and state party officials on how to respond to media questions regarding accusations over how the funding was being allocated, partly due to a May 2016 article by Politico accusing the DNC and Clinton campaign of withholding joint fundraising from state parties and downticket elections, and show one official blaming Sanders for putting the DNC between “a real rock vs hard place” by forcing “a fight in the media with the party bosses over big money fundraising.”[50] A decision regarding how much money to transfer to state parties was supposed to be made in consultation with DNC officers, but outgoing DNC Chair Wasserman Schultz allegedly made the decision herself, without warning, angering other top officials.[51]
Racist emails
On May 6, 2016 a first email between DNC Finance Chair Zachary Allen and DNC Finance Chief of Staff Scott Comer, appears to make fun of a black woman's name. Allen writes, “LaQueenia is a NAME!”. “I’m sorry, boo,” he continues. “I hope you got a raise with this title.” Comer then replies, "LaQueenia is already my favorite. And I did. Praise the Lord,”. After that Allen again responds “Yaaaaaaas kaween.”[52][53][54][55][56][57] Allen and Comer were discussing about a DNC LGBT event involving the African-American employee LaQueenia Gibson, Executive Assistant.[53][55] According to Mic, that exchange of emails correspond to the period “when many are speaking out about [Hillary Clinton] track record with people of color and the issues that affect them.”[53] The Vibe adds that "Comer makes a joke about Gibson’s name and Allen does little to correct him"[55]
Tim Canova
Among the emails leaked, around 80 contained information on Debbie Wasserman Schultz's opponent in the upcoming Florida Primary, Tim Canova. The emails tracked Canova's campaign movements, flagged positive news reports about his campaign, asked RealClearPolitics to remove Canova's name from a headline, and asked the head of the Alaska Democratic Party to do "some digging" on a pro-Bernie Sanders event in the state that Canova took part in. After the leak, Canova announced that his lawyers were filing a Federal Election Commission complaint against Wasserman Schultz for her possible violation of campaign finance laws, due to the DNC allegedly acting as an arm of Wasserman Schultz's campaign, and for improperly using DNC funds and resources.[58][59][60]
Other emails
Several other emails depicted conversations regarding Democratic outreach to Hispanic voters. One email in particular laid out a list of objectives in order to "own Hispanic loyalty", and referred to Hispanics as "brand loyal consumers".[61][62] These generalizations about Hispanics drew condemnation from some in the Hispanic community, including New Mexico governor Susana Martinez.[63]
One particular email describes a hypothetical fake craigslist job posting made by DNC Staffers to mock their Republican rival Donald Trump.[3]
It also reveals that White House officials vetoed Ariana Grande from performing at the White House, in response to security footage publicly released in July 2015 which showed her licking doughnuts on display at a shop.[64]
Reactions
On July 18, 2016, an article by Fox News about hacker "Guccifer 2.0" report that the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov "denied Russian government involvement in the DNC hacking incident."[65] Peskov called it "paranoid" and "absurd",[66] saying: "We are again seeing these maniacal attempts to exploit the Russian theme in the US election campaign."[67]
On July 24, 2016, Sanders urged Schultz to resign following the leak and stated that he was "disappointed" by the leak, but that he was "not shocked."[9][68] Later the same day, Schultz resigned from her position as DNC Chairman, effective as of the end of the nominating convention.[69] After Schultz resigned, Sanders said that she "has made the right decision for the future of the Democratic Party." [70] On the following day, the DNC apologized to Bernie Sanders, his supporters, and the Democratic Party "for inexcusable remarks made over email."[71]
Former DNC official and current Governor of Virginia Terry McAuliffe said that "I sat in that chair in 2004 trying to navigate all the different candidates we had. But if you had people in there who were trashing one of the candidates, I can tell you this, if I were still chairman they wouldn't be working there. I mean, that is just totally unacceptable behavior."[72]
Anthony Zurcher, North America reporter for the BBC, commented that "the revelation that those in the heart of the Democratic establishment sought to undermine the anti-establishment Sanders is roughly on a par with [Casablanca character] police Capt Renault's professed shock that gambling was taking place in the Casablanca club he was raiding, as a waiter hands him his winnings."[73]
Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said that "Today's events show really what an uphill climb the Democrats are facing this week in unifying their party. Starting out the week by losing your party chairman over longstanding bitterness between factions is no way to keep something together." [74]
Media coverage and public perception
The New York Times reported that WikiLeaks founder Assange stated in an interview on British ITV on 12 June 2016, that he hoped that the publication of the emails would "... harm Hillary Clinton's chances to win the presidency..." and that he had timed the release to coincide with the Democratic convention."[75] In an interview with CNN, Assange would neither confirm nor deny who WikiLeaks' sources were; he claimed that his website "... might release "a lot more material" relevant to the US electoral campaign..." [76]
On July 25, 2016, Anne Applebaum, columnist for the Washington Post, writes that “… with the exception of a few people on Twitter and a handful of print journalists, most of those covering this story, especially on television, are not interested in the nature of the hackers, and they are not asking why the Russians apparently chose to pass the emails on to WikiLeaks at this particular moment, on the eve of the Democratic National Convention. They are focusing instead on the content of what were meant to be private emails …” She goes on to describe in detail other Russian destabilization campaigns in Eastern European countries.[77]
"It is almost impossible to know for sure whether or not Russia is behind a hack of the Democratic National Committee's servers", says Russian security expert and investigative journalist Andrei Soldatov. According to him, the Kremlin considers Clinton "a hater of Russia": "There is this mentality in Russia of being besieged; that it is always under attack from the United States. ... They are trying to interfere in our internal affairs so why not try to do the same thing to them?"[78]
