Technically you’re right that it wasn’t the DNC alone. It was the democratic party as a whole and the media machine they influence. Sure the DNC gave Hillary decision making power after she paid them a bunch of money, and also gave her a special funding agreement. But the hundreds of unelected superdelegates that supported her before voting even started were probably more influenced by party elites than the DNC. And it’s not like they specifically paid for the opinion pieces telling Bernie to drop out. But it’s not actually illegal for a party to rig a primary so we don’t need to do any real investigation into it.
