I am surprised anyone is surprised by this.
The DNC wants to win the next election. The DNC - and everyone else in the Democratic party and the rest of the country - Thought Clinton was the obvious choice. This goes back to 2012. She had the following. The DNC started pushing her back then - and perhaps others too. Sanders most likely wasn't even on the map.
Let's flip this around. I am positive the GOP had a list of potential candidates they thought would be viable candidates. I'm sure it was a short list too. Most likely it was Cruz, Christie, Bush, and John Kasich. They helped those people, or maybe just one or two of them. They allow other candidates to join the field so the GOP can track interest.
At the end of the day the GOP (on the other side the DNC) picks who they want to support the most. At the end of the day the DNC thought Clinton was the best candidate to beat Trump (although you could argue Sanders was the better choice and most likely still is). At the same time, Clinton has been working with the DNC for nearly ten years so... they supported her because they were most comfortable with her.
Not sure why anyone has an issue with this. The DNC picks and supports who they think is best. I haven't read the emails, but I am guessing there are also emails about supporting Sanders too.
