Based on catty emails about how annoying Jeff Weaver was. (Bernie supporter here, and Weaver annoyed the hell out of me)

Every one of the alleged "smoking gun" emails was dishonesty spun by Assange and bloggers.

Read in context without the dishonest spin, they are fairly innocuous. There are no smoking guns.

There is certainly no evidence the primary was "rigged" by the DNC.

Was DWS an crappy chair? Yes.
