In a preview of what is likely to come in Philadelphia next week, a protester began shouting “DNC leak” during Hillary Clinton’s speech in Miami today and was promptly ejected.

He could be seen attempting to hold up a sign with a hashtag on it but was otherwise unreadable.
As those around him grabbed it out of his hands, he repeatedly shouted, “DNC leak!”
He continued to yell as he was led away. Clinton continued talking.
The man’s protest was in reference in some 20,000 DNC emails being released by Wikileaks.
One such email appeared to show party staffers conspiring to create a narrative in the media that was critical of Clinton rival Bernie Sanders.
“Wondering if there’s a good Bernie narrative for a story, which is that Bernie never ever had his act together, that his campaign was a mess,” national press secretary and deputy communications director Mark Paustenbach wrote in the email on May 21, 2016.
“Specifically, DWS had to call Bernie directly in order to get the campaign to do things because they’d either ignored or forgotten to something critical. She had to call Bernie after the data breach to make his staff to respond to our concerns. Even then they didn’t get back to us, which is why we had to shut off their access in order to get them to finally let us know exactly how they snooped around HFA’s data.
“It’s not a DNC conspiracy, it’s because they never had their act together,” Paustenbach continued.
