Wasserman Schultz In Hot Seat After Confession Most of the DNC Emails Published by WikiLeaks Were Sent AFTER DNC Realized They Were Being Hacked

In yet another head-scratching move, a new report says Democrat operatives sent thousands of emails, many of which were published by WikiLeaks at a later date, despite knowing the DNC was under cyber attack from alleged ‘Russian hackers.’
The Daily Caller reports: DNC CEO Amy Dacey learned of the breach in late April 2016, but of the 27,000 DNC emails published by Wikileaks, fewer than 7,000 pre-date April 29. A Daily Caller News Foundation analysis of the published emails shows that the majority were written between May 5 and May 25 — after the cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike was brought in to respond. [Emphasis added.]
The emails exposed dirty laundry that Democrats have said swayed the election in President Donald Trump’s favor. The emails might never have seen the light of day had the DNC enlisted law enforcement to immediately lock down its system after first detecting problems in late April.
Dacey and chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz decided not to call in the FBI and instead, about five days after the hack, enlisted the company CrowdStrike *** (See below) to perform investigation and remediation without consulting the DNC’s board, according to Donna Brazile. CrowdStrike implanted itself May 5, within a day of being asked, according to The Washington Post. In the intervening days, 5,800 new emails were written and captured.
For weeks after the highly-paid firm responded, the breach continued unabated. More than 16,000 emails later published by Wikileaks were written after May 5.
“The fact that newly-written emails continued to be captured weeks after the DNC’s top staff was well aware it had been breached raises questions about why Wasserman Schultz and Dacey did not turn to the FBI, and whether the FBI could have immediately stemmed the flow,” writes Daily Caller report Luke Rosiak.

*** Remember that Comey,during Congressional testimony, described CrowdStrike as a “private party/high-class entity.” But could it perform basic computer security — not to mention forensics? Good enough for government work, in one sense, we suppose.
But wasn’t CrowdStrike working for and paid by the DNC? Strange … or maybe not so strange, if you think it through.
And when the full text of Mueller’s report hits the street in the next week or two, it will also be worth remembering that, giving testimony to a friendly Senate Intelligence Committee, Comey said: “Bob Mueller is one of this country’s great, great pros.” https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/08/us/politics/senate-hearing-transcript.html
One can readily imagine Comey, Lynch, McCabe, Brennan, Strzok, Clapper, et al. sweating bullets at the possibility Muller has decided he must break the Omerta code — not out of any desire to surrender his own Deep State badge — but simply because there is far too much on the official record exposing Deep State machinations.
This would be no problem, of course, if Mrs. Clinton had won the election. Comey himself has admitted that he “was making decisions in an environment where Hillary Clinton was sure to be the next president.” That’s what they all thought; and that probably explains their lack of care in keeping their activities off the written record and out of computers. Elementary tradecraft goes out the window with these upper-echelon, “high-class-entity” charlatans, when they are sure that she, and they, are going to be the inevitable winners.
