Florida Representative Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has announced she will resign as chair of the Democratic National Committee. The resignation is to become effective after the party's convention. The organisation's e-mail system was hacked; leaked e-mails appear to confirm accusations that Wasserman-Schultz had taken action favouring Hillary Clinton in her contest against Bernie Sanders to become the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. Sanders had previously called for Wasserman-Schultz to resign, a request he reiterated in light of the leak.
Wasserman-Schultz said in a statement:
I know that electing Hillary Clinton as our next president is critical for America's future. I look forward to serving as a surrogate for her campaign in Florida and across the country to ensure her victory.

The reason I put it first is because in the series of events, Wikileaks has to get the docs first before they can leak them. The Russians leaking emails to Wikileaks scenario is plausible, not that it detracts from the releases in any way in my view. The Trump coordinating with the Russians narrative is a far bigger stretch that will flop. I'm not parroting any narrative. I've discussed Wikileaks and where they get their docs long before the Dems/DNC ever cared.
