Faced with justified criticism that there had been no mention of I.S.I.S. during the first two days of the convention, the D.N.C. had Leon Panetta revise his Wednesday night speech to throw some focus on the issue. But, that wasn't the only damage control the D.N.C. had to address: they gave credence to the Black Lives Matter movement and totally ignored the families of slain cops; in a last minute switch, they decided to bring some of them to the stage Thursday night.
But, let's get back to the real issue, that being what happened before the convention even started. The leaks of the internal D.N.C. Emails showing that members and staff were openly anti-Semitic toward Sanders and that they were plotting to sideline his candidacy from the very beginning were a bleeding embarrassment. Although they made a strong effort to change the dialogue and make it Trump's fault and to blame the Russians, Americans were just not buying that maneuver. After all, it was the verbiage in the Emails and the intent and scope of those Emails that was sickening to all Americans.
So, it was a natural that when Trump said something sarcastic about the Russians probably having copies of all of those "missing" 30,000 Emails from Clinton's server that they would seize the opportunity to accuse Trump of treason and change the conversation from D.N.C. Emails to Trump's supposed transgressions.
They almost got away with it.
Late Wednesday night, Wikileaks came out with 29 D.N.C. voicemails that had been hacked. The voicemails are thoroughly mortifying and prove beyond a reasonable doubt that money takes precedence over politics, ethics and the law as far as the party is concerned.
What a mess they have deservedly gotten themselves into.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
