As Julian Assange promises to release the most damaging emails to date against Hillary Clinton, the CEO of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has announced her resignation.
Amy Dacey is the highest-ranking official at the DNC, and her imminent departure comes just days after chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz stepped down following the DNC email leak.

CNN reports:
Dacey is well-respected by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC circle, a source familiar with the resignation said.
Dacey’s resignation was first reported by Politico.
The committee is looking to clean house in the wake of leaked emails that appeared to show the committee favoring Clinton over Bernie Sanders during the primary.
Former DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned after the party’s convention last week as a result of the revelations. DNC Vice Chairwoman Donna Brazile has stepped in as interim chair through the election.
The changes at the DNC come as the Clinton campaign is moving to take greater control of party headquarters in Washington and in states across the country.
Democrats are also trying to get ahead of the disclosure of more emails and internal documents from hacked computer systems, fearful of more embarrassing revelations.
The controversy began late last month when nearly 20,000 internal emails, released by WikiLeaks, were dumped on the Internet.
The emails between a handful of DNC officials revealed conversations about Sanders’ campaign, including one official suggesting he should be questioned about his faith to hurt him in key Southern states.
The emails are believed to have been released by Russian operatives after the DNC was hacked earlier this year. The US has not made an official assessment of responsibility, but has acknowledged that experts agree the hack was committed by hackers working for the Russian military and intelligence.
Though the DNC and Democrats have focused on the implications of suspected Russian meddling in the US election, the emails have cast the organization in a negative light.

Why is this article spreading the anti Russian bs. There is no proof of Russian involvement in the leak. The lie was started to take focus of the fact that Hitlery and the dnc disregarded the will of the people and at the very least hid millions of votes and at worst stole the nomination from Sanders. It’s hard to believe that one American would want a proven career criminal masquerading as a politician in the White House and once again the dems are using Alinskys playbook and calling Trump every name in the book that fits Clinton ten times better. She personifies everything that is wrong with American politics and there is zero doubt that as she stole the nomination from Sanders and none days a word do she will try it with Trump. When will these criminals be held for their crimes?

Wasn’t Russia. Jeez.
I love how she throws out one of her lies (the Russians did it in cahoots with Trump) Even though she has pulled off some whoppers in the past. This is a big one and the people just follow along. How would SHE know of all people if the Russians were hacking her or not??? I prefer the one that it’s Huma Abedin! That’s really my favorite! or the TSA did it! But somehow almost absolutely every news outlet is talking about who dunnit rather than the actual content of the emails, messages, etc.
The “experts” who blame Russia are the same ones who said Iraq had WMD’s.
