The news ahead of the DNC continues to intensify. Now it appears that Debbie Wasserman Schultz will step down the party’s chair once the convention concludes. Here is a statement:

Remember that time Debbie called out the “conspiracy theories.”
Throwback to when Debbie Wasserman Schultz told me it’s a conspiracy theory to say the DNC wanted Hillary Clintonhttps://t.co/nAShqyssxR

David Axelrod weighs in.
.@DWStweets did well for her party by resigning this afternoon and removing herself as an issue. Hard but right thing to do.

Sorry, David; this does everything but remove her as an issue this week. It actually places her and the entire process front and center. But nice try.
I find this quibbling over whether @DWStweets leaves now or Friday silly. What difference does it make? She's out. She's leaving. Move on!

Um, you might want to rephrase that one. “What difference does it make?” didn’t exactly work all that well when someone you know was testifying before Congress.
