Hillary Clinton has another email problem on her hands on the eve of the Democratic Convention – this one brought on by a provocative move by Wikilkeaks to release 19,252 Democratic Party emails on the eve of her convention.
Founder of Wikilkeaks Julian Assange has clashed with Clinton publicly and doesn't want her to get elected president.
In one May email headlined, 'No shit,' from DNC Chief Financial Officer Brad Marshall, may expose an effort to get someone to press Clinton primary rival Bernie Sanders publicly about his faith.
The email is to DNC Communications Director Luis Miranda and Deputy Communications Director Mark Paustenbach.
'It might may no difference, but for KY and WVA can we get someone to ask his belief. Does he believe in a God.'

The email continued: 'He had skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage. I think I read he is an atheist. This could make several points difference with my peeps. My Southern Baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist.'
Marshall emailed The Intercept blog and denied the email was about Sanders, who is Jewish but did not talk about religion on the campaign trail much.
'I do not recall this. I can say it would not have been Sanders. It would probably be about a surrogate,” he said. 'We have asked him who that surrogate could possibly be.'
The email doesn't mention Sanders' name or identify who it is referring to.
Another email, from May 21, appears to show DNC press secretary Mark Paustenbach constructing a narrative that Bernie Sanders' campaign is incompetent.
“Wondering if there’s a good Bernie narrative for a story, which is that Bernie never ever had his act together, that his campaign was a mess,” Paustenbach wrote in an email titled 'Bernie narrative.'

“Specifically, [DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz] had to call Bernie directly in order to get the campaign to do things because they’d either ignored or forgotten to something critical,' he wrote communications director Luis Miranda.
The email continued: 'She had to call Bernie after the data breach to make his staff to respond to our concerns. Even then they didn't get back to us, which is why we had to shut off their access in order to get them to finally let us know exactly how they snooped around HFA's data.'
'Same was true with the standing committee appointments. They never got back to us with their names (HFA and even O'Malley got there's in six weeks earlier) for the committees. So, again, the chair had to call Bernie personally for his staff to finally get us critical information. So, they gave us an awful list just a few days before we had to make the announcements. It's not a DNC conspiracy, it's because they never had their act together.'
