So do any of you think there is any smoke or fire related to the hacker of the DNC finding documentation that appears to show that the DNC was likely colluding with the HRC campaign as early as February of last year.

I don't know about that, but I do know Hillary will be down one superdelagate as Chaka Fattah was convicted on about eleventy dozen charges yesterday. Wonder how his personal lap dog Chris Matthews is spinning the conviction.

It doesn't take any smoke or fire...just a hint of a suggestion of an allegation of a possibility of an idea that something may or may not have been wrong, whether illegal, immoral, or just contrary to someone's sensibilities. That's politics, folks.

How about some VP choices
NYT
Mrs. Clinton’s shortlist includes James G. Stavridis, a retired four-star Navy admiral who served as the 16th supreme allied commander of NATO, and Senator Tim Kaine, a former Virginia governor who serves on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Sen. Timothy M. Kaine of Virginia have emerged as the leading candidates on a longer list of finalists Hillary Clinton is considering for her vice-presidential running mate, according to interviews with multiple Democrats with knowledge of her deliberations.

This reporting follows a series of private meetings Clinton had last week with leading contenders, including Labor Secretary Tom Perez, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro.

I think Trump's conventional/conservative/establishment VP pick will draw a conventional return of serve with Tim Kaine.

I hope she doesn't pick Elizabeth Warren. Dogging big banks is her thing, and I think she can do that more effectively in the Senate.

I suspect they've decided to stay away from any Senator from a state where a Republican Governor would pick the replacement, so that rules out Warren, Brown and Booker.

Big happenings for the DNC ahead. Democrats will chose between Keith Ellison and Tom Perez for party chair. Ellison has the support of both Sanders and Warren, while Perez has the support of Obama. Big fork in the road here for Democrats. I know who I prefer, but am veru curious how this turns out.

They need to elect Ellison to have any hope of a united party.
