Jul 2016

She has been replaced as Chair for the Convention and thus will not get to use the gavel. She was forced to resign as chair of Committee effective immediately after the convention and is being replaced with Interim DNC Chair Donna Brazile. Apparently took a call from Obama to convince DWS she would be resigning.

DWS is still holding out to speak briefly at the convention. She will be loudly booed if she does. Not good TV for her.

Rumors are that there are more DNC emails on the way, apparently from earlier in the campaign.
