Shocking details on Wikileaks latest released DNC hack -- 29 audio recordings.

Brace yourself:

http://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/headlines/20160727-wikileaks-releases-audio-files-of-hacked-dnc-voicemails.ece

The bulk of the 29 voicemails published on the WikiLeaks website are messages left asking for calls back. One is a 16-second clip of a man and his young child talking about going to see elephants at a zoo.

There is also a 59-second voicemail that appears to be from a Clinton supporter who promises to leave the Democratic Party if it continues to "coddle" Sanders.

"I'm furious about what you are doing for Bernie Sanders, he's getting way too much influence," the woman says. "I'm on a fixed income. I spend over $300 donated to Hillary and what I see is the DNC bending over backwards for Bernie."

Another voicemail from a woman with a 480 area code, which covers Phoenix, includes her asking why the DNC allowed Sanders to include Cornel West, who has been critical of President Barack Obama, on the platform committee.

I called to express my support for Hillary. Of course, I also called my State Democratic Party, my local Democratic Party as well as Hillary's campaign office. Hack that Russia/Trump

They claim the elephant image was used without their permission.

The are supporting Hillary and intend to crush faux elephants in November.

They deserve better than to be mistaken for Republicans.

They are far too intelligent for that.

The Bernie crowd will be so incensed, their poor feelings so inflamed, there's like to be a bloodbath on the floor tonight.

Clearly DNC officials were planning to sell the party to the Republicans.

Scandal!

How did that get out there? Who in their right mind would leave that in a voice mail?

For those of you in the know, " going to see elephants at a zoo " is the secret code to take the appropriate action!

We are going to have to come up with a whole new repertoire of secret code phrases now.
