WASHINGTON (AP) — The chief executive of the Democratic National Committee has resigned in the wake of an email hack that embarrassed the party on the eve of its convention.

That's according to three Democratic strategists familiar with Amy Dacey's decision to leave her job. The people spoke on condition of anonymity, because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly.

The Democrats say other personnel moves at the party are also expected Tuesday.

The content of the hacked emails exposed an apparent lack of neutrality in the primary race between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, with party officials disparaging Sanders.

4. Rigged it how? n/t

9. U r reliving the primaries. But u didn't mentioned His supporters breaking into Clinton's database

10. The firewall was down.

And kept going down, even after the DNC was notified about it.

Sanders' team didn't "break in" — all 3 campaigns' data was visible to their rivals. They should not have taken data as evidence, though. (The IT guy who did it was recommended to Sanders by the DNC.) But the DNC is ultimately responsible for the privacy of rival campaigns' data, and they failed to maintain it.

You and I are both re-fighting the primaries, by the way.

11. Not anymore...Clinton won. End of story...Later...nt

6. I am seething about this too. They won!

They got their way. They now pick some fall guys to smoothe over their dishonest machinations and probably give them bonuses for taking one for the team! The whole thing disgusts me and will for a long time.

2. They did what they were expected to. Now time for that lateral move. With better benefits. nt

3. This is starting to read like...

... Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.

7. I am sure

She already has a job lined up

[Android3.14]

12. Sounds like they have a heads up on an upcoming story

I wonder what revelation will come out later this week.

13. Brad Marshall is the one who needs to go,

yet apparently the only result of his attempt at whipping up religious bigotry is for Donna Brazile to tell him that she's very disappointed.

[think]

14. It's surpriisng he's still there after his suggestion to use Sanders religion in such a fashion

Very surprising....

[QC]

16. Not surprising at all. He's an insider. Worked there since 1992.

Accountability is for little people, and by the time people have been in a leadership position for 24 years they feel bulletproof. Correctly, as we see in Mr. Marshall's case.

[QC]

17. Marshall is out. I hereby apologize to Donna Brazile

and thank her for showing genuine leadership here.

Maybe we will see some real housecleaning.

15. the next but not the last nt

[closeupready]

18. Fine with me. Every last one of them should go - they have been utter failures.

If the last few elections cycles can be held as benchmarks.
