Wikileaks releases DNC emails. Suggestion that DNC employees undercut and undermined Sanders, including doing so based on religion.
Sanders supporters must be losing their minds with this. Clinton supporters and DNC establishment saying "we've spent too much time talking about emails. Let's move on". Not playing well.

Yeah, this will actually be a key test for the Clinton campaign, as to whether they can stay on message and control this media cycle without letting this become a gong show. If the truce between the establishment and the fringe of the party falls apart over this, her convention may be as much of a disaster as the GOP's, which would squander a huge opportunity here.

My guess is Sanders dismisses it out of hand and public squashes any attempts to use it against her, he's now completey invested in her win at this point.
Most of it appears to be people getting annoyed at Jeff Weaver for being a dink. The stuff about weakening Sanders by calling him an atheist is certainly troubling. But in a dump of 20,000 e-mails, you will always, always find something juicy in there somewhere. I've done enough document production for litigation to know that.

Weaver and several other members of the Sanders staff have said they are worried the news could disrupt the goals of the convention.
"We are trying to build unity for the fall to beat Donald Trump and Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a figure of disunity in the party, not a figure of unity," Weaver added.
I didn't know anything about Tim Kaine before seeing his impressive acceptance speech today. He was upbeat, intelligent and personable, and he's totally qualified, having been a mayor, state lieutenant governor, governor, and Senator, qualifications almost totally missing from the GOP ticket. Fluent in Spanish, has a zero rating from the NRA (huge plus), and his son is a Marine. HRC made a prudent choice.
Another member of Sanders' staff, Rania Batrice put it this way: "Everything our fans have been saying -- and they were beaten down for and called conspiracy theorists -- and now it's in black and white."
Not all conspiracy theories are false.
