Update p.6: Bernie Gets His Wish: Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigns

Wasserman Schultz resigning as party leader

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is stepping down as chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee at the end of the party's convention, which is set to begin here Monday.

The Florida congresswoman's resignation -- under pressure from top Democrats -- comes amid hackers' release of emails that show DNC staffers favoring Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders in the party's 2016 nominating contest.

Wasserman Schultz announced her resignation in a statement Sunday afternoon, saying she remains committed to seeing Clinton elected president.

"Going forward, the best way for me to accomplish those goals is to step down as Party Chair at the end of this convention," Wasserman Schultz said in her statement.

Sen. Bernie Sanders said Sunday that in the wake of the leaked emails from the Democratic National Committee its chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, should step down.

"I think should resign, period” as chair of the DNC, Sanders said on ABC's "This Week."

“I told you long time ago that the DNC was not running a fair operation, that they were supporting Secretary Clinton,” Sanders told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos Sunday on “This Week.” “So what I suggested to be true six months ago turned out to be true.”

Sanders says he is “disappointed” by what the leaked emails show but “not shocked.”

She won't chair the convention, but where does it claim she resigned?

In other breaking news, Obama invites DWS to the Wh to offer her a position. (sarc)

Was she around when Obummer was running? Was he the favored child at the time? Could there possibly be old emails laying around?

More #DNCLeaks to come

BRAZILE: It means that the, first of all this is not just a one-day leak. There will be a substantial number of emails that I understand will be leaked over the next couple of days, weeks, months, because it was not a one-month breach or a two-month breach. Come to find out the Russian hackers — and I have no conspiracy theories in my hands, I don’t know…

STEPHANOPOULOS: Robby Mook had some.

BRAZILE: They have been involved. They were in our system at the DNC for well over a year. So, we will learn more. Will some people have to step down, be removed, uh resign? I’m sure at the end of the day, yes.

Obama said he has her back, so I'm sure she will be well taken care of. These people really need to be more careful about who decides to watch their back.

Eh, Hillary weathered far worse.

Fight, Debbie, fight!

Fight for justice! The longer you fight,
the more cognitive dissonance you'll
generate in Hillary voters!!!

Fight, Debbie, fight!

One small step.....


Now spill the beans Debbie!

Don't let them hang it all on you!

Now, how can they elect Hillary as the candidate as it's been proven that DNC colluded with her from the start?

She's been offered too much to talk. Plus she probably doesn't want to get suicided.

From Hillary's statement, DWS is going to serve as the honorary chair of her campaign. Not going to endear Hillary to the Bernie supporters.

Hillary Clinton's showy rewarding of corruption by DWS is an ill wind for the corruption-overton-window of a future presidency.

Sanders FAILS to name the real culprit, the head queen, he can't seem to understand that some important ideas he has.... Trump is adamant about too. Hillary will stab Bernie in the back.

kissing ass to Clinton - telling her she won't spill the beans -- but still needs a job.

Minions gonna minion.
