So...

    The suggestion of going after Sanders based on religion was included in one of 19,252 ­e-mails.

    In one message dated May 5, 2016, with the subject line “No s–t,” the chief financial officer of the Democratic National Committee, Brad Marshall, plotted how to portray Sanders, who was raised Jewish in Brooklyn, as an atheist.

One need only watch the DNC through the early misadventures of the race to pick up on a less-than-subtle lean towards the establishment candidate. A dispassionate observer might even consider this bias to be understandable, considering the alternative candidate has been a Democrat for less than a year. Kinda funny that Hillary is the one they call "carpetbagger" but I digress...

THAT SAID if the worst dirt they can dig up 19,000 emails is "maybe we should remind people he doesn't go to church" then maybe there isn't that much of a conspiracy after all.

    Wasserman Schultz asked DNC finance director Allen Zachary if he could snag seven tickets to “Hamilton,” the sold-out Broadway show, so she could celebrate a 50th birthday party with her college roommates.

I mean... supervillain shit this ain't.
