"Our goals in the coming months will be to frame the Republican field and the eventual nominee early and to provide a contrast between the GOP field and HRC," reads an email dated May 26, 2015, referencing the former secretary of state by her initials, posted by "Guccifer 2.0" — after the Romanian hacker who allegedly accessed Clinton's private email server multiple times.

One of the strategies listed for "positioning and public messaging" states, "Use specific hits to muddy the waters around ethics, transparency and campaign finance attacks on HRC."

As the mainstream largely directed attention to the hack of the Democratic National Committee's strategy to oppose Donald Trump, this collusion to steer the narrative in Hillary's favor appears to have gone unnoticed, as US Uncut reported. But this series of leaked emails show a meticulously plotted coordination between DNC narratives touting Clinton, rather than Sanders, as if she had been the presumptive nominee from the outset — precisely as activists and fair elections advocates had suspected.
