What you call "slimy" was run-of-the-mill backroom plotting by both parties. That stuff goes on all the time, not only by the parties but anytime two or more politicians get together behind a closed door. No one has credibly claimed that any of that stuff touched Hillary; but naturally those predisposed (or programmed) to hate her assume the worst, no proof needed. The FBI and CIA also claim (with near certainty) that Russia also hacked the RNC server but haven't released the contents. When it comes, will you be so quick to judge that party as you are to judge the DNC?
